Week 1 Discussion 1
Hello everyone,
Some of the restrictions/beliefs are based on the race, the ethnicity, the
gender, and the national origin where it is common, and it was accepted in
the American society, that was during the latter half of the 1800s, seeing
who had the rights to vote was very prominent. African American men got
the right to vote with the ratification of the 15th amendment in 1870.
Demonstrates in the video," Italics: Italian Immigrants and Whiteness/Word
of Love" is when he said that about in the 1890s and the early 1900s over
the fact about the color of their skin, they were denied their rights to vote
(CUNY TV). In the 19th century, it was how they were talking about the looks
of the Irish. Their descriptors where like, "ragged," "lowbrow," "brutish,"
""wild-looking, and "course-haired" began to surface more frequent (Thomas
Nast).

The worldview in the late 19th century is that the white races thought they
were superior over all the races, mostly the African American. In the "Gilded
Age Advice " some of the women were not in a cult. Some of them were
college educators. The women believe that the society biggest disorder was
the alcohol. In the late 19th century, the African American experienced a
great amount of growth with the restrictions. During that period, they were
freed from slavery, and had started enjoying greater rights. Like having the
rights to vote. They could participate in things. And they could buy their own
land and used the other accommodations. What a change!
