Cantigny Research Paper

Cantigny Reading over the local historical places to visit my eyes gleamed with 8th grade memories when I ran across Cantigny. I had fond memories of Cantigny with my 8th grade friends as we eagerly climbed on the tanks to take pictures as well as when we went through the tours. Though, I couldn’t recall the significance of the place. Of course, this visit was to be connected with history somehow, but to me Cantigny was just tanks. So this summer I headed down with one of my good friends on one of the hottest days of this summer, and we both walked in with not much expectation for anything informational. However, we were amusingly surprised when we went through the house tours. Cantigny was originally a farm, inherited by Robert R. McCormick

La Follette Sr., a Republican representing Wisconsin’s 3rd Congressional district and later the leader of Progressive party, was an excellent Congressman because he was an effective speaker, helped pass various reform laws and fought political corruption.

Today, this question is a foregone conclusion for anyone. In the 1800’s and early 1900’s, this question might have been harder for some to answer correctly, not because they didn’t know the answer, but because their strong racial discrimination was standing in the way of common sense. William Edward Burghardt Du Bois dedicated his entire life to the betterment of the African community around the globe.…
