The Great Chicago Fire started by Catherine O'Leary's cow kicking over the lantern in the barn. The fire burned 4 miles of Chicago to the ground. The fire burned for 30 hours and killed 300 people. It left 100,000 people homeless. Many people thought the fire would stop burning after going by the Chicago river but it didn't because the river was highly polluted. People believe that the fire stopped burning because the fire ran out of things to burn.

Something about Urbanization I learned was when immigrants came to the United States they lived in poor living conditions. The cities were growing so rapidly from immigrants they were unprepared for the urban problems they would experience. The immigrants lived in tenements with lack of clean H2O. From the lack of clean water many people had diseases. A solution to the lack of clean water they put chlorine in the water to get the bacteria out of the water, so it was safer to drink.

An interesting thing I learned was the Triangle Shirt Waste Fire. This fire happened on March, 1911 and in all 146 people were killed. The fire started by a cigarettes that someone threw into waste of material. this factory was an all woman factory that made shirts. When they fire happen everyone tried to get out but there were nowadays heath code rules being unfollowed. They had four elevators but only one worked and they got about 4 trips in until it stopped working. They had all the staircases locked so there was only one way in and one way out to make sure the woman weren't stealing. The men who own the factory were never charged with manslaughter.

While Bryan was a democrat and supported the Silverite's, and he traveled around the nation giving speech's. McKinney's supporters were businessman and brokers. Bryan's supporters were farmers and labors.

A new word I learned was Silverite. Silverite's is farmers and labors that wanted more money in circulation. They also wanted bimetallism. This would make products be sold at higher prices. Also, this would make the value of money decrease by this change. WJ Bryan supported Silverite.

Something the past connects to today is black lives matter. It connects to the past because during this time period, the African Americans were used as slaves. Although they are not used as slaves anymore, they are still being treated like they are less important than us. And how the black community isn't treated the same as the white community. An example of this is the Black Lives Matter Movement.

The Freedman's Bureau is the most interesting thing I learned because it was an aid to help former slaves adjust to freedom.  They provide food and clothing to needy blacks and helped them get jobs. Oliver Otis Howard was the founder of Freedman's Bureau. He was also a union general. Howard has a university named after him in Washington D.C. Howard University population is 86% African American.
