Module 1 Short Responses – Question 1
In the following scenario, which historical lens is being applied? Why do you think so?
The influx of unskilled Irish immigrants into New York City in the 1840s and early 1850s
drives down wages for other workers at the low end of the salary ladder.

population during the years of 1840s to 1850s.

Module 1 Short Responses – Question 4
In the following scenario, which historical lens is being applied? Why do you think so?

Québécois women in the early 20th century.
