When people thought of America they only saw the small population of rich white men. However, underneath this, the heavy poor population underneath the surface was severely struggling. ]]> 2020-09-25 12:39:47 UTC https://padlet.com/9958647/p3o1qxw8jvj097f4/wish/778948217 9958647 https://padlet.com/9958647/p3o1qxw8jvj097f4/wish/779007161 In 1882 the American government put a ban on Chinese Immigration for 10 years.

They went around the new laws about segregation and "rioted" against a black teenager who whistled at a white teenager. They burnt the black community down to the ground taking all their economic success with it. This put the whites back on the top and the government refused to call it a massacre. ]]> 2020-10-08 15:40:44 UTC https://padlet.com/9958647/p3o1qxw8jvj097f4/wish/814277087 9958647 https://padlet.com/9958647/p3o1qxw8jvj097f4/wish/861446117 Many strides were taken towards advancing society.

The cause for change is said to be due to President Roosevelt taking office in 1933. He presented new ideas that were supposed to help the economy but instead ended up hurting it. Unemployment rates were at an all time high. Banks failed because everybody rushed to take their money home. Businesses failed when nobody could afford to buy from them. ]]> 2020-10-26 12:54:13 UTC https://padlet.com/9958647/p3o1qxw8jvj097f4/wish/861461773 9958647 https://padlet.com/9958647/p3o1qxw8jvj097f4/wish/870125435 Throughout these two century's many strides were taken towards turning america into the industrialized nation it is today.  Many new advances in technology were introduced and the nation began to grow into what it is today. ]]> 2020-10-28 15:38:40 UTC https://padlet.com/9958647/p3o1qxw8jvj097f4/wish/870125435 9958647 https://padlet.com/9958647/p3o1qxw8jvj097f4/wish/870156579 The social divisions that have always been around were taken to new extremes in the 1920s.

By the 1900s more people lived in cities than in rural america for the first time in history.

This was a good alternative during the great depression as many did not have money to pay with.
