1. During the 1920’s, the south was filled with hatred and racism towards black people. Southern states were segregated and had many Jim Crow laws in place that led to inferior treatment of black people. Lynching took place on a frequent basis. Blacks wanted a chance at peace and prosperity and thought they could find it in the North where factories where looking for employment. After the civil war, many freed blacks remained on plantations as sharecroppers. With no money they were unable to leave the Jim Crow South. After WW1, industry, especially the auto-industry of Detroit, in the North started to boom during the 1920’s. This attracted all the freedmen to migrate in search of jobs. This was a time they finally had an opportunity to make a new life for themselves. Henry Ford’s new plant was said to be large enough to employ all of Nashville. Factories were sprouting all over requiring workers who were willing to work for cheap wages. This was the best time for black people to leave the South and make a living for themselves away from any prejudice and…
1. Until quite recently, most American history textbooks taught that before Europeans invaded the Americas Indians were savages who lived in isolated groups and had so little impact on their environment that it remained a pristine wilderness. We now know from scientific discoveries that this account was wrong. What is the effect of learning that most of what we have assumed about the past is "wrong in almost every aspect," as Mann puts it on page 4?…
3. John Smith might have made an agreement with Powhatan, but the Indians had promised that the sky would fall before the peace between the colonists and Indians would dissolve. The Indians broke this promise though and attacked the colonists killing 347 men, women, and children. John Smith might have said that this was the reason the colonists could not be peaceful with them.…

How did British mercantilism affect the colonies? Mercantilism greatly affected the society and culture of the colonies. The colonists adopted customs of England, bought English goods, and also took on most of England’s ideas about politics and education. Most people believed that the colonies were outposts of the British world.…

Throughout history the roles of women have changed dramatically. Since the 1950’s, women have slowly but surely evolved into the individuals one sees today in public offices, law firms or even the five o’ clock news. However, this evolution did not occur over night. Although women in the 1950’s and today have dealt with similar stereotypes, today life has greatly improved because women aren’t as pressured to get married, are taken more seriously in the business world, and are even making as much or more money as men.…

The Civil War was a horrible conflict which cost the lives of hundreds of thousands of young American lives all because of a racial inequality and civil liberties. After the conflict, a major reconstruction was begun to unify the country as a whole and slavery of the Negro population was abolished. Though the black community was technically free from slavery, the racial tension prevented the overall liberty of the people. White southerners still held the idea that they were better and more competent than Blacks. This led to the Black Codes and repression of the former slaves that inhibited the Reconstruction as a whole.…
On August 6, 1945, the United States of America dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan. For decades, there have been feuds relating to the justification of the bombing. The United States was justified due to the surprise attack and bombing of Pearl Harbor which occurred three years before the bombing of Hiroshima. Therefore, it was necessary to stop the war because it saved thousands of American lives. Until then, the fight had never been on United States soil. Innocent civilians did not have to worry about being killed on their land until the infamous day: December 7, 1941, the attack of Pearl Harbor. On that day, the Japanese arrived in Pearl Harbor, killing a total of 2,403 and wounding 1178. Hitting 18 U.S ships, it crippled the U.S naval fleet in one day. Little known to the people, the bombing also destroyed 180 fighter jets used in the U.S Air Force. This was an unjustified, ruthless act and dropping the bomb on Hiroshima was justified.…
Now that television is airing all these new shows, the roles of the family have changed and traditions have been dropped. Women have become more bold and hold jobs in the workplace as well as dominance in bed. Family structure is becoming obsolete. Families split up and are living in different households. Now days, emerging adults aren’t even getting married before starting a family.…
One effect of television in our current time is the destruction of family ritual. Once upon a time, so we have been told, families talked with each other. They actually gathered together and shared ideas, interests, and experiences. Since television, this apparently does not occur in most families. Family meals have taken a definite downward toll since the rise of television. At one time families would actually gather around the table for a meal and some family discussion. This was the place and time that families would work out a lot of problems related to school, sports, work, and relations with the opposite sex. Television has changed this, however, with the family members all staring at the tube rather than looking each other, and listening to television programs rather than talking. No longer is there the shared mealtime ritual of the family.…
