This caused many of the lower and middle class to move to bigger cities where there were more jobs available. This eventually lead to overpopulation in cities. The economic growth that occurred during this time was the greatest in the history of the country.

The treaty which ratified the dispute was signed on February 17th, 1815. France was growing more and more agitated with Britain at the beginning of the 19th century, so much so a war broke out. The United States aimed to help its French allies but found themselves at the mercy of the British fleet. However, a new found sense of patriotism arose in the country and the Americans were able to defeat the British on American soil. The Ratification ended the war but some considered the War of 1812 to be a "second war for Independence."

The "witch-like" behavior was often described by delusions, vomiting, and muscle spasms. Interestingly enough, these symptoms are also caused by a type of fungus found in wheat.

However, when these allegations proved themselves to be false in the 1954 McCarthy hearings, the downfall of McCarthy was evident.

He was born in 1901 and lived with his grandmother and mother. Even though his mother was an important figure in his life, they had a more complicated relationship than one might think. His mother was in and out of his life which did not help their relationship. Hughes also wrote almost any genre one could think of, breaking away from stereotypical black poetry. Hughes died in 1967 from prostate cancer.

She was known to have written many poems in her lifetime, close to 1,800 some guess. However, of these only 10 have been published. Little is known about her childhood except she loved to stay indoors and write. She spent the first nine years of her life in a mansion in Amherst. She never married which was uncommon for women at the time, however she was very religious which may have played a part in this. She died at the age of 55 on May 15th 1886.
