Roswell Manufacturing Company: Student Activities A Thriving Mill Village Walking around at the mill sites in downtown Roswell today, it is difficult to envision what the town might have looked like in 1864. Conduct research to gather information about the components of a textile mill village in general, and then specifically to determine which of those elements were present in Civil War Roswell. Develop an “antique” map of Roswell that shows the position of the bodies of water, shops, mills, and residences that may have been present when Union forces swept through the town in 1864. 2: Scorching the Earth General Sherman has been criticized for his employment of an aggressive war tactic that is often nicknamed “scorched earth”. Research the tactic and report on the historical uses of it. Determine whether Sherman’s actions in Roswell could accurately be considered a use of that policy. Compose an opinion paper that clarifies your position regarding the use of that policy during modern warfare. Are you “pro” or “con”? Defend your position with five arguments. Prepare to justify your position through participation in a teacher-moderated debate. What’s the Value? The historical sites that are today collectively known as the Roswell Manufacturing Company ruins are positioned on land that has significantly appreciated in value since 1864. No longer is Roswell a sleepy little mill village. A recent poll by City-Data.com reported that 22.84% of Roswell residents claimed annual incomes in excess of $150,000, placing the town as ninth-ranked on Georgia’s top ten wealthiest. Georgia's Top Ten As the needs of modern society increase, historians and developers often find themselves in conflict. What should have the most importance: the events of history or society’s current and future needs? Should historical sites be preserved, or, should the old make way for the modern? You decide. Write a justification for your recommendation of how the Roswell ruins should be treated. Would you preserve the history and appearance of the site for future generations? Develop the site for modern use with no concern for history? Or strike a balance somewhere in between? Develop a proposal for the Roswell City Council that presents your land-use plans for the ruins collectively known as Roswell Manufacturing. Include the following: A description of the location and condition of the ruins. An approximate value of the land in question. Your position on preservation or development. A final recommendation for use. Amateur video that may help you to clarify your position is available from YouTube.
