At the same time, mounted knights in war were becoming obsolete due to the introduction of gunpowder. At the Field of the Cloth of Gold (1520), jousts between King Henry VIII of England and King Francis I of France were nostalgic re-enactments of battle, not the reality of 16<sup>th<\/sup> century warfare. Times were changing and the past was idealized.<\/p>\n<p>In the late 1800s, more and more Americans were leaving the farm to live and work in towns and cities. At the same time, nostalgic lithograph prints depicting idealized rural farm homes were especially popular. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.loc.gov\/resource\/pga.01378\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The 1877 lithograph used as a header image for this post is entitled &#8220;Home Sweet Home.&#8221; <\/a>A rural family is relaxing on the porch of a perfect home. No references to the hard labor required by men, women, and children on a late 19th century farm. \u00a0Many people were yearning for this nostalgic, peaceful life after the economic disaster caused by the Panic of 1873 and a year of the labor unrest, the <a href=\"http:\/\/thenewpress.com\/books\/1877\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Great Railroad Strike, Indian Wars, and violence.<\/a><\/p>\n<h6>Analyzing Primary Sources in the Classroom<\/h6>\n<p>Ask your students to consider modern media depictions of the 1950s.

Historical study of the real 1950s reveals that most people did not live this utopian life. Everyone was not suburban middle class and sexism and racism were prominent features of daily life.<\/p>\n<p>Ask students to consider what broader modern trends cause Americans to yearn for the idealized1950s.
