Here is a brief overview of my revisions:
Post 1 (Westward Expansion): Re-work thoroughly to include a deeper discussion about how westward expansion set the stage for economic advancements and industrialization, brief edits on analysis of primary source photograph.
Post 2(TCR): Made adjustments to shift discussion more towards how the transcontinental railroad facilitated industrialization, which in turn laid groundwork for auto industry to take hold.
Post 3(Henry Ford): Shift focus to the way Ford's methods affected manufacturing and industry as a whole, adjusted and edited some of the discussion about the way he treated his workers and the social impacts that would have later.
Post 4(Great Depression): Tried to demonstrate the idea that the economic changes during the Great Depression would lead to social changes brought about by the automobile and its industry.
Post 5 (UAW): Changed discussion to focus more on how the UAW had broader implications socially and how it represented greater movements that were happening across the US, tried to use this post as a shifting point between economic effects of auto industry towards social and cultural effects.
Post 6 (WWII): Expanded discussion of changing demand after the war and the implications this would have on how American's began to use cars as I moved the discussion into the 1950s.
Post 7 (Highways): Furthered analysis and discussion of primary source photograph.
Post 8(1950s): Consolidated discussion of changes in culture into two main areas: suburbanization, and cars as a part of lifestyle/leisure activities.
Note: For some reason, the WWII post is shifted towards the bottom. As I ordered them above, it should fall between the UAW post and the Interstate Highway post.
