http://www.greatblacksinwax.org/Exhibits/lynching.htm The first picture is a cartoon of lynching in ohio and the second is a chart of the amount of lynchings that occured since reconstruction.
The two pictures are related in the fact of racial attacks. Lynching was very common in the south. But in the first picture it also shows that it also happened in the north as well. In the chart picture it shows what events happened in relativity to the time and certain dips and rises in the amount of lynchings. The chart also shows that as time carried on the amount of lynchings decreased rapidly. Almost to nothing.
Following the construction of the transcontinental railroad “Hell on wheels” followed right behind them. New buildings sprung up like bars, brothels, and casinos. This situation is similar to the illegal immigration of across the American border. With the constant crossing of the border, illegal immigrants are sneaking drugs into the country and making easy money. They are bringing “Hell” into the country. Not so much on wheels but they are bringing more trouble and unnecessary problems with them. Now that more drugs are being imported into the country this can raise crime percentages. With drugs come gangs, drug cartels, and constant hate crimes. Also with the increase of drugs in the US this will rise the amount of drug users and dealers nationwide.
Moving west was alot of work for Homesteaders, railroad buliders, etc. Above you can see the picture of a horse drawn wagon which is what they used to migrate west. The journey acroos the country could take weeks, to months. The second piture shows All the different railroad builders racing to get to the west faster than one another. Everyone was eager in the 1800's to get to the west. Finally the 3rd picture shows A man pulling on a Asian immagrants hair. This picture symbolizes that in the 1800's when immagrants came over the US acted as though we owned them. We forced them to work. All of these pictures tie into the unit of expanding west that we were learning in class.
Elizabeth Cady was born in 1815 and spent much of her youth listening to clients of her father, a lawyer, being advised of the laws which were not favorable to women. Men upon death would will their property to their eldest son. Leaving their wife’s with nothing but a room in the son’s home. In 1840 Elizabeth married and raised 7 children with her husband, reformer Harry Stanton. She felt a general discontent in her role as wife, mother, housekeeper, physician, and spiritual guide for her family. She met with a friend and they decided to hold a “Women’s Rights Convention”. It was at this convention that the proposal that women be granted the right to vote. She promoted women’s rights through her writings and lectures. Elizabeth, along with Susan B. Anthony formed the National Woman Suffrage Association of which she was president until 1890. Elizabeth Cady Stanton died in 1902.
The Progressive Era was a hard time for women because they weren't getting the right to vote. Many groups were created such as The National Women's Suffrage Association. The National Women's Suffrage Association's main goal was to campaign for women's suffrage at a federal level, as well as for married women to be given property rights. Women such as Susan B. Anthony and Lucy Burns lead marches and strikes in attempt to get an Amendment passed. Another group that was created was called the American Women's Suffrage Association. This groups main goal was to secure an amendment in the U.S constitution stating that women had the right to vote. Although this attempt took over 100 years, finally in 1920 the 19th Amendment was finally passed stating that women like all men had the right to vote.
