     Although the federal governments attitudes and actions towards blacks and Native Americans civil rights in the 19th century were very different they also had lots of similarities. Both blacks and Native Americans were treated poorly and did not have many rights. Blacks were slaves and Indians (Native Americans) were fighting to stay alive.

The documentary America the Story of Us: Bust summarizes the transition from the prosperous and roaring 20s to the struggling Depression. Focusing on events and causes leading to the Depression as well as its effect on the American population during the time, the film gives an overlook of one of the most unfortunate times in American history.

James W. Loewen dedicated his book to all American history teachers who teach against their textbooks, but it’s a read for Students who have taken a course in American History. Intended to expose the lies teachers and textbooks have taught students about American History, Loewen talks about what most students do know versus what is the real truth. It lets students know how textbooks leaves out info, which in turn downplays many events in history. This is why students think history is boring, it is filled with facts instead of the truth, which would keep students interested and emotionally invested. Textbooks in schools ideally cover up the truth of history and only gives limited facts, instead of telling the truth and allowing students to have

Wiesel often uses references to history in order to ground his claim in ideas proven to be true; however, the historical facts are not always well known by global citizens. In the text, he brokenheartedly highlights a moment in American history not often taught in classrooms: "Sixty years ago, its human cargo--nearly 1,000 Jews--was turned back to Nazi Germany. And that happened after the Kristallnacht...And that ship, which was already in the shores of the United States, was sent back." What is the effect of the facts presented? Why isn't this fact common knowledge in American history? What does the effect on the audience show about their beliefs? How does the combination of the fact and the emotive sentence, "I don't understand," further

I believe the american dream is still possible. Everyone want to follow their dream for for example

The textbook, Portrait of America: Volume 2, 10th Edition, organized by co-authors, Stephen B. Oates and Charles J. Errico, is supplied with various historical topics written by different, credible authors. The textbook is, indeed, worth the time to read and understand. The authors express historical people and events many people have heard of, and expands the reader’s mind with personal stories and unconventional facts, one has not heard of. Most textbooks offer concise information about a person or event; Portrait of America authors take an unorthodox approach by stating information as well as revealing their own perspective on the topic. Such a technique as this is unfamiliar to the average student. Though an unconventional method, the authors are most effective at distributing information to the reader. Topics covered such as presidents, women, and events that changed America hold significance to the theory, Portrait of America authors take an idiosyncratic yet superb approach to delivering information to the reader.

) The United Sates is a democracy which means it is run by the people for the people. “For a country to be considered democratic, the views of the public must affect the course of government” (Greer 206). This means that if the government wants to change something we must all vote on it, or are at least all be given the chance to vote on it. When asked what it means that the government must have the publics support in order to get their decisions implemented it means just that. In order for anything to change in the laws for the United Sates the citizens must vote on it. Also for the people wanting to pass the law to have a better fighting chance they will need to show the public what this law will do for them and how it will help.

My desire to partake in AP US History, is not solely for the understanding of the past and what it entails, although that is an important reason, but to better understand the present and the situations we find ourselves from this day and onward. I am a firm believer that there is much to learn from the past, and many times in recent years I have come to the realization that I am barely qualified to talk about the events of the past, let alone some of the complex issues we face today. For me, AP US History would not only help me better understand our great nation and where it came from, but also be able to analyze and understand problems by being able to come to accurate and meaningful conclusions. I believe that to truly understand our present issues, we should have some semblance to the events which molded and shaped the current world.

In Erika Lee’s novel titled At America’s Gates, she takes a close examination of the Chinese people and how various immigration laws affected their lives beyond a legal aspect in the late 19th century and early 20th century. She explains how Chinese immigration and exclusion laws influenced not only the Chinese, but also the United States as a whole. A country that once openly welcomed foreigners without restrictions became one that sought to control immigration through standards of race, class, and gender for the first time in its history.

Matthew Christopher Is a photographer that travels all over the world and takes pictures of abandoned building as crazy as this might sound his reasoning behind it is really quite amazing and something I would have never thought of. Matthew starts the talk by telling and showing pictures to the group about some of the places all over the world from china to the U.K and yes even the U.S.A. He then tells us that his second book just came out and this would be the only stop on the west coast he makes which I feel is a great experience for everyone that attended. We were also told of a website he has and post pictures and talks about he places he’s been it is called abandoned America and has been up and running for 10 years now.

September of 1620, the year I, George Soule, left England on the Mayflower. All anybody wanted to do was start a new life! So what we did was set sail to the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. There were 102 passengers on the ship. About 40 people were separatists, or Saints. Today we call them Pilgrims. They wanted to start a new church in the new world. The puritans left England because we wanted to practice religious freedom.

She relates the making of a story to human’s love for the planet. When a person loves, they are also putting themselves in the road to get hit by heartbreak. Really this is easy to understand if the idea was characterized by a lover. A person will oopen themselves up to someone because of love, but they are also opening themselves up to the risk of no longer being loved, sometimes having harsh situations leading up to this point. Teenagers and young adults all experience this scenario. An interesting point that Kathleen Moor made is that when a person is in love, thye pay attention to their lover. This makes me think of those who I love and who are important to me. A common saying is “family comes first”, which is something I believe in because they are people I love the most and if something were to come up, I would be there for them through anything.
