5 Stops In History by Ben https://padlet.com/priestb2019/zq1erdhzri44 Made with panache en-us 2018-02-02 13:44:21 UTC 2025-02-21 13:00:48 UTC hello@padlet.com Stop 3: Lunch priestb2019 https://padlet.com/priestb2019/zq1erdhzri44/wish/227473925 Lunch with John Rockefeller :
John Rockefeller has agreed to speak with us today during lunch at Prince’s Street Pizza in New York. He was an American financier and philanthropist who was a prominent member of the Rockefeller family. He became one of the world's wealthiest men because of the many business he worked through and some he created. In the year of 1885 he wrote , “ “Let the good work go on. We must ever remember we are refining oil for the poor man and he must have it cheap and good.” During the industrial period Rockefeller wanted to  continue to carry out a great source in the world for the lowest price. Rockefeller didn’t always have it good in life, but worked towards his best leading him to become who he is today. He said he lived to work, save, and to give, and that's exactly what he did.

The Dawes Act defined the treatment of Native Americans by Europeans who ended common ownership of land and portioned it off into pieces to be owned by Individual Native Americans. This Act is important because for tribal life it helped lower  tribes ability to actually live in their traditional ways.This time period was an importance in history because we are able to see the struggle of other groups of people than Americans in their own home. America was not just for Americans; it was for Natives also. When Natives had to go through trying to become new people, it weakened them and stopped them from living their best life that they possible could.

For the final stop we'll be visiting one of the voting booths that black never people had challenges getting a chance to vote at. During the late 1800s equality for black people was non-existent they never had the same opportunities as their fellow white peers. By opportunities, we mean they never got to vote, they were teased for their skin colors and facial feature, faced harsh violence over the smallest things, weren't allowed in the same places as whites, and weren't allowed to vote. One of the biggest things they weren't given was the same education as white people, which is something that WEB DuBois fought hard for. DuBois fought for full social and economic equality for African Americans and would not rest until he got it. He as well as other civil rights fighters like Ida B. Wells and Booker T. Washington wanted the same opportunities as white people because they felt as though they were allowed that, rightfully so. ]]> 2018-02-02 13:53:50 UTC https://padlet.com/priestb2019/zq1erdhzri44/wish/227478080 Stop 4: Women's Suffrage Movement priestb2019 https://padlet.com/priestb2019/zq1erdhzri44/wish/227478420 The women’s suffrage movement was the struggle for the right of women to vote and run for office and is part of the overall women’s rights movement. In this in this time period Women suffered both economically and politically. They had no right to vote, lack of job opportunities, low salary, and were discouraged t receive any education. This was the largest democratic movement in history. The suffrage was given its own political imagery, press, philosophers, finances, organizers and more. Most women were not able to vote, and most of them were uneducated; even the ones that were educated still could not vote. This here time in history is important because because it resulted in passage of the Nineteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which finally allowed women the right to vote. As of today we see so many more women participating politically, economically and more. This movement pushed towards giving the women in today’s world the rights they have to run for President, make good a  salary, travel and have so many other rights. Back then everything was corrupt towards women; they weren’t rightfully treated but he rose and became one of the strongest groups on people in history.

The Plessy vs. Ferguson case regarded the US Supreme Court in May, 1896. It advanced the conversation of the separate but equal policies. This addressed the segregation laws, that were happening throughout America. The Separate Car Act was an act that required railroads to provide different cars for white and black passengers, to promote the comfort of passengers. This supreme court case was one of the first cases to actually address the segregation that happened in the South. The saying "separate but equal" would apply to this case because, many people felt that the ruling was violating the the 14th amendment, the equal protection clause. Plessy had lost the case with a staggering 7-1. The Supreme Court agreed that black's and whites shouldn't be in the same vicinity because socially whites were inferior to black people. ]]> 2018-02-05 13:56:17 UTC https://padlet.com/priestb2019/zq1erdhzri44/wish/228101840 priestb2019 https://padlet.com/priestb2019/zq1erdhzri44/wish/228102401 2018-02-05 13:57:14 UTC https://padlet.com/priestb2019/zq1erdhzri44/wish/228102401
