History of California
1: James Gregory's book An American Exodus, and D.J Waldie's Holy Land deal with two aspects of the "California Dream". How would you reconcile these visions? How do they connect, how do they differ?
2: One of the theses in this class is that California rapidly consolidated wealth and power after statehood. Perhaps this consolidation was a result of California's compressed history. Do you agree with this thesis. If so, why? If not, why not?
Please be original with the answer and be straight to the point.
