The White Man's Burden Resource Type: Primary Source This cartoon, referring to Rudyard Kipling's poem of the same name, was published as the Spanish-American War ended and the insurrection in the Philippines against the Americans began. The Higher Criticism Resource Type: Primary Source Nineteenth-century Christians supported missionary efforts throughout the world. Missionaries were often forced to confront a diversity of value systems, which challenged their own assumptions about the universality of Protestant, Victorian morals. Intellectual and Cultural History of the United States, 1890–1945—E-Seminar 1, The Crisis of Victorianism Resource Type: E-Seminar Between the end of the Civil War and 1900, educated Americans reacted against Victorian values. In the first in a series of e-seminars, Casey Blake describes the new attitudes about the future, the separation of the sexes, masculinity, and the role of women. He concludes by reflecting on the beginnings of modernism at the end of the nineteenth century. Roosevelt and Public Life Resource Type: Primary Source Roosevelt as commander of the first Volunteer U.S. Cavalry during the Spanish-American War. Roosevelt and Public Life Resource Type: Primary Source Addressing a crowd in Denver. A New Masculinity Resource Type: Point-Counterpoint Historians are grappling with the changing definitions of American male identity that developed at the end of the nineteenth century. Casey Blake argues that American men were looking for ways to "compensate" for what they regarded as the feminine elements of modern life, particularly those brought about by rapid urbanization and industrialization. In response, a new definition of manhood, what Blake terms "aggressive male individualism," emerged. A teacher examines the interpretations of Gail Bederman and Susan Curtis. Roosevelt on Physical Health Resource Type: Primary Source The future president, Theodore Roosevelt, discusses the importance of physical health and strength for American males. | |
