Modeling Document 1 Source: Interview with Arnulfo Pompa, Bracero History Project One thing about Goodyear farms: it was almost like slave labor for the people who were working there. My dad—there weren’t minimum wages back then—didn’t get paid a lot of money. There was this store there called Abraham’s.... Again, this was all owned by Goodyear Farms. And that was the only grocery store we knew of. So, it was two or three miles from our house. We would drive up and shop for groceries. The arrangement they had—as long as you worked at Goodyear farms—you were allowed to charge your food if you didn’t have any money. So, I remember it was always trying to catch up. My mom and dad couldn’t do it. There were six kids they had to feed. We’d get to the store and I remember my mom and dad buying food. It was like a forty-eight dollar bill. I remember my dad [having to say] go ahead and charge it to my account. I don’t have any money. So, I remember the next paycheck— he’d get paid every 15 days—... was probably two dollars. We’re expected to arrive from point A when we only have two dollars for fifteen days….

Compare and contrast views of the Federal government’s role in pursuing Progressive reforms, 1890-1920. Evaluate how beliefs about politics and power shaped these views. There was disagreement about politics and power even when the United States was a young nation. Hamilton and Jefferson disagreed about what the government should do with regards to the economy and society in general. Debates like this continued as the United States developed, especially with Progressivism from 1890-1920.

Connect to broad development? Think: themes Connection accurate? Specific? Short?

Bracero Program Ran from 1942 until 1964 as a way of bringing temporary contract laborers from Mexico into the United States. Most braceros worked in agriculture which was facing a labor shortage because of WWII.
