Settlement movement

Jane Addams and the Hull House: The Hull House was opened in 1889, which was settlement house run by Jane Addams and Ellen Gates Starr. It was located on the Near West Side of Chicago. The Hull House was important because it was located in a poor area yet it provided services which included kindergarten, music school, and the Hull House even had a theater and gymnasium in it. Jane Addams, not necessarily the Hull House, was mentioned in the book. Jane had attended the World’s Fair. (WHAT ELSE)

The Russian Pogroms of 1881 were a series of devastating events in Eastern European Jewish history. The 1881 pogroms immediately followed the assassination of Czar Alexander II. Due to industrialization, the Russian government plunged into turmoil, and the masses were living impoverished and discontented lives. The assassins were a radical group called Narodnaya Volya, consisting entirely of Atheists, only one who was born Jewish. Anti-Semitic groups claimed the Jews were the ones who killed Czar

Lamed Shapiro’s “The Cross” tells the story, in vivid and disturbing detail, of a Russian Jewish man who is attacked in a pogrom, alongside his estranged mother, and is branded on the forehead with a cross by his attacker. Blume Lempel’s “Images on a Blank Canvas” tells another story, in equally vivid and disturbing detail, of a woman mourning the death of her friend, a prostitute who committed suicide. In these two stories, there is one striking similarity: The survivor is portrayed by the non-survivor

*Title Here* The English settlement of Jamestown was established in May of 1607. From then on to 1610 almost 200 of the settlers had died. So many settlers died in such little time because of disease, Native American attacks, and starvation. In the early Jamestown settlement disease was the primary causes of settler deaths. “[D]isease in the early years to Jamestown’s position at the salt/freshwater transition, where filth introduced into the river tended to fester rather than flush away.” -Dennis

Imagine being a settler in an unknown land. No food, a lack of water, and disease spreading like wildfire. Fear of death was great. When English settlers began arriving on the James River in the Chesapeake Bay region of Virginia in the Spring of 1607, no one had a clue of the terrible future that awaited for most of them. The background of early Jamestown leads me to ask the question, why was mortality rate so high in early Jamestown between the years of 1607 and 1611? The conclusion for this is

birth, I was also given a special name that only my closest family members would know: Matoaka, which means “Little Snow Feather,” but my public name was “Pocahontas.” Faith: How did your people react when the Englishmen came in 1607 to start the settlement of Jamestown? Pocahontas: I was twelve when this was happening, and we were all very curious, yet untrusting and even fearful of the strange men with light skin and metal clothes. We didn’t exactly know why they had come, how long they were staying

“How will your family react, if they find out how you spend your nights here?” said Gil. Isn’t it true that as a free individual, Nimr has every right to pursue the sexual orientation that makes him feel most comfortable? Isn’t it true that Abir should choose the man she is in love with and not the man chosen by her family? Isn’t it true that Gil’s discovery of Nabil’s cache of guns is only one small step towards preventing a shooting war between Israelis and West Bank Palestinians and regrettably

aware of the dichotomy between fact and fiction. This is brilliantly explained in David A. Price's, Love and Hate in Jamestown. Price describes a more robust account of events that really did take place in the poorly run, miserable, yet evolving settlement of Jamestown, Virginia; and engulfs and edifies the story marketed by

territorial expansion. Jamestown began the tenuous, often violent, mingling of different peoples that came to embody the American experience.” Dr. James Horn A Land As God Made It. In the 1400’s Europe had very little land for agriculture and settlement. The Europeans desired riches such as gold, luxury food items, land, and timber. None of these products could be produced in Europe so they had to find these resources elsewhere. This led to a lot of importing and trading with
