Writing Plan- Topic and Research Question
Topic of interest: The role of Irish immigrants in the Civil War and the proceeding riots.
Did the race riots negate the impact of the simulation and acceptance that Irish immigrants
gained through their service in the Civil War? Thousands of Irish enlisted in the Union Army at
the urging of Bishops and to express their support for the Union cause. All-Irish “heritage units”
were crucial to the Seven Days Battles, Chancellorsville, and Gettysburg. Helped to establish the
“Americanism” and simulation of Irish immigrants. There is no concrete historical evidence to
prove that “NINA” signs existed. The economic discrimination of Irish immigrants, while a
documented thing, might have had more to do with the skills of the Irish immigrants that were
not conducive to the job skills needed in Northern cities.
Research Question: Did the Cincinnati riots and the New York Draft Riots affect
assimilation of Irish Immigrants?
Research Question: What kind of economic backlash did Irish immigrants face within
cities due to their lack of acceptable skills?
Research Question: Did economic discrimination impact the ability of Irish immigrants
to assimilate more quickly?
Research Question: Did “No Irish Need Apply” signs appear as a source of economic
discrimination for Irish immigrants, or were the reports of these signs nothing more than an
urban legend?
Grade: 40/40 A
Instructor Feedback: Brittany, great job on this writing plan.You raise an interesting point
about the “NINA” signs; even if this was a myth, which most historians suggest, why is this
significant with regard to the assimilation and treatment of Irish immigrants? This was actually
a song, but was there other evidence of overt discrimination against Irish immigrants during the
1850s? I think you ask three very comprehensive research questions; remember to keep in mind
the context of the antebellum period with regard to how many Irish immigrants not only were
serving in the Union army, but also competing with free blacks for jobs in the civilian
sector. These links may be of interest:

HIS 200 Writing Plan Progress Check 1 Guidelines and Rubric
Overview: Throughout Theme: Approaches to History, you have been guided through beginning your Project 1: Writing Plan assignment, which you will continue
to work on in Theme 2 and formally submit for completion at the end of Week 4 of the course. This progress check assignment provides you with an important
opportunity to get valuable instructor feedback on the progress you are making and to ensure you are on the right track for your later submission.
Prompt: The first half of Theme: Approaches to History has introduced you to how historians approach choosing research topics regarding historical events and
asking research questions about those topics. After taking some time to explore the research topic samples in Theme: Approaches to History, learning block 1-3
(page 3), and research questions strategies in Theme: Approaches to History, learning block 1-3 (page 2), describe a historical event you have chosen to learn
more about and develop a research question related to that event.
Specifically, in this assignment, you will submit parts of the following elements of your Project 1: Writing Plan for review by your instructor:
In Theme: Approaches to History, learning
block 1-3 (page 3), you worked toward the
following element:
I.
Describe the historical event that you selected. Why is this event significant?
In Theme: Approaches to History, learning
block 1-3 (page 3), you worked toward the
following element:
IV. Based on your review of primary and secondary sources, develop a research question related to the
historical event you selected. In other words, what would you like to know more about?
Please note that the numbering included above directly aligns with the numbering of these elements as they are presented in the Project 1 Guidelines and
Rubric. You will ultimately also need to describe the historical significance of your chosen event and include primary and secondary sources in your final writing
plan with regard to the two elements you have started work on in this assignment, but you do not need to do so in this submission. You will be prompted to build
upon this progress check submission to prepare your final writing plan for submission in Week 4.
