Q It is somewhat ironic that as the U. S. became much more urbanized in the 1890s-1920s that Americans as a whole became concerned about the urban, rural, and wilderness environments and “nature.” Yet they had very different views of those environments and how to “fix” them, use them, or preserve them. What were some of the different views regarding the urban, rural, and wilderness environments, and who held them? How did women, immigrants, the Native Americans, African Americans, and poor people fare with the changes in land, resources, and social policies that got established during this time?
