They still segregated the African Americans even though they were free. They didn't want to accept them as equals. ]]> 2020-09-10 12:00:32 UTC https://padlet.com/23christopherkatalin/cgu1sqm17bku9loh/wish/734525482 23christopherkatalin https://padlet.com/23christopherkatalin/cgu1sqm17bku9loh/wish/734525912 He was born into slavery and later became a part of the Senate and represented Mississippi.He was the elected African-American to serve a full term in the Senate. He helped to open the door for other African Americans to follow in his foot steps. He inspired many. ]]> 2020-09-10 12:00:44 UTC https://padlet.com/23christopherkatalin/cgu1sqm17bku9loh/wish/734525912 23christopherkatalin https://padlet.com/23christopherkatalin/cgu1sqm17bku9loh/wish/734526409 Means-deprived of the right to vote.
African Americans were disenfranchised until 1870. Once they gained their suffrage, it was still hard for them to vote due to the impossible literacy tests and poll taxes. ]]> 2020-09-10 12:00:59 UTC https://padlet.com/23christopherkatalin/cgu1sqm17bku9loh/wish/734526409 23christopherkatalin https://padlet.com/23christopherkatalin/cgu1sqm17bku9loh/wish/734526855 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".]]> 2020-09-10 12:01:11 UTC https://padlet.com/23christopherkatalin/cgu1sqm17bku9loh/wish/734526855 23christopherkatalin https://padlet.com/23christopherkatalin/cgu1sqm17bku9loh/wish/734527724 The 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments still apply to this day. Everyone is treated as equals. We can all vote and are granted citizenship. Some believe that they are treated unfairly or unequal. ]]> 2020-09-10 12:01:31 UTC https://padlet.com/23christopherkatalin/cgu1sqm17bku9loh/wish/734527724 23christopherkatalin https://padlet.com/23christopherkatalin/cgu1sqm17bku9loh/wish/778863215 William McKinley was the 25th president of the United States. He gave his speeches on his front porch so he didn't have to leave his wife who had epilepsy. He believed in backing our money up with gold and only gold.

For example, Pittsburg specializes in steel. The areas and companies then make a lot of money since they have the best of that specific product. Another example is, Chicago specializes in meatpacking. ]]> 2020-09-25 12:05:34 UTC https://padlet.com/23christopherkatalin/cgu1sqm17bku9loh/wish/778867726 23christopherkatalin https://padlet.com/23christopherkatalin/cgu1sqm17bku9loh/wish/778868439 The government used to be more lazzie-farie when it came to businesses but now they are very hands on. It also helped get rid of monopolies. This allows other businesses to have similar products and still have a company. ]]> 2020-09-25 12:05:58 UTC https://padlet.com/23christopherkatalin/cgu1sqm17bku9loh/wish/778868439 23christopherkatalin https://padlet.com/23christopherkatalin/cgu1sqm17bku9loh/wish/778869254 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.]]> 2020-09-25 12:06:24 UTC https://padlet.com/23christopherkatalin/cgu1sqm17bku9loh/wish/778869254 23christopherkatalin https://padlet.com/23christopherkatalin/cgu1sqm17bku9loh/wish/835470142 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. ]]> 2020-10-16 13:21:16 UTC https://padlet.com/23christopherkatalin/cgu1sqm17bku9loh/wish/835470142 23christopherkatalin https://padlet.com/23christopherkatalin/cgu1sqm17bku9loh/wish/835472245 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.]]> 2020-10-16 13:21:51 UTC https://padlet.com/23christopherkatalin/cgu1sqm17bku9loh/wish/835472245 23christopherkatalin https://padlet.com/23christopherkatalin/cgu1sqm17bku9loh/wish/835473284 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. ]]> 2020-10-16 13:22:09 UTC https://padlet.com/23christopherkatalin/cgu1sqm17bku9loh/wish/835473284 23christopherkatalin https://padlet.com/23christopherkatalin/cgu1sqm17bku9loh/wish/835487908 Jane Addams created the Hull House. This helped immigrants and urban poor. The middle-class and educated helpers, mostly women, helped to run this house. This helped many of these families with making the best out of their situation as well as educated the little kids and providing activities for all.She won the 1913 Nobel Peace Prize. ]]> 2020-10-16 13:26:20 UTC https://padlet.com/23christopherkatalin/cgu1sqm17bku9loh/wish/835487908 23christopherkatalin https://padlet.com/23christopherkatalin/cgu1sqm17bku9loh/wish/835489269 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. ]]> 2020-10-16 13:26:43 UTC https://padlet.com/23christopherkatalin/cgu1sqm17bku9loh/wish/835489269
