Analysis of industrialists at the end of 19th century

Analysis of industrialists at the end of 19th century

CENARIO:

You are on a long trans-Atlantic flight from Heathrow Airport (London,

UK) to DFW Airport (Dallas-Ft. Worth, USA) seated next to a Brit. After

chit-chatting for awhile, you mention that you have been taking this

course. He asks you, “I understand that there is often a debate in your

country as to whether those industrialists at the end of the 19th

century should be called “Robber Barons” or “Captains of Industry,” what

is your analysis?”

What would you say to your seat-mate? In your answer, you must provide a clear thesis statement (which states your position). You must discuss a minimum of FOUR industrialists or industries, must include a minimum of TWO primary sources (from which you pull evidence and analyze in a meaningful way), and you must utilize specific and detailed historical facts (which can be specific people, events, places, or ideas/concepts).
