Even though African Americans gained their suffrage, it was hard for them to vote due to the impossible literacy test and poll taxes. The white southerners wanted to keep things the way they always have been so they made everything difficult for the freedmen. I didn't know that anyone had to do any of these things to vote. It shows how unfairly they were treated after they became "free".

The most interesting thing I learned was that J.P. Morgan was the idea behind the Monopoly guy. J.P. Morgan was the bug business leader in banking. This makes a lot of sense and is very genius on the creators part. He looks exactly like the Monopoly guy.

One thing I learned about immigration it that the first wave of immigrants or "old immigrants" were not welcoming to the second wave or "new immigrants". They experienced a lot of nativism and xenophobia. The Chinese Exclusion Act even banned Chinese immigrants from coming to the United State. The old immigrants lost sight of who they use to be and where they came from so they were not willing to welcome the new immigrants with open arms.

As more and more immigrants started to come to the United States, the cities grew bigger and bigger. There were also many tenement or settlement houses built to house the mass amount of people. The sanitation of these cities was horrible causing many health problems. This lead Jacob Riis to find a way to take pictures in the dark so that others in society could see the horrible living conditions they were in.

This period of time is called the Gilded Age because America looked a lot better on the outside than what it really is on the inside. To other countries and immigrants thinking about coming, there seemed to be many jobs available. But on the inside, the workers had terrible working conditions. This illusion caused the immigrants to come over thinking it was better for them but in some cases it was worse.

The most interesting thing I learned is that the Wizard of Oz symbolizes the Gilded Age. Each character represents a different group of people in the United States. The yellow brick road represents the gold standard while the ruby shoes represents bimetallism. The Wizard of Oz represents the president and the Emerald City represents Washington D.C., the capital. Some believe that this is just a coincidence though.
