History is always being created, but never changed or altered. Although something may have happened yesterday, today, it is now considered historic. The irony here is that whether it happened a few hours ago, yesterday, last week, or many years ago, it is still considered historic because it is now in the past. As stated by Dr. Drake in many lectures, “history does not necessarily repeat itself, but it does rhyme.” From 1865 to the 2000s, different areas of history have a stronger rhyming scheme than others.…

The five most revolutionary changes that took place between 1865 and 1920 are: The women’s suffrage, African-Americans gaining civil liberties, mass immigration, progressivism, and World War I.
