If we think as if today, immigrants (hispanics) are kind of like slaves because they work for others except that they aren’t no one's property like the African Americans were to others. Throughout 2016 and 2017, there has been many racism towards hispanics and African Americans like there was in the 1800s when it expanded more and more.

In 1848, womens didn’t have the right to vote because men thought they were smarter and stronger than women's. It’s the belief that men and women should have equal rights because women get discriminated for their acts. All of the women were seeing more like homemakers that they had to worry about the kids and stuffs around the house like cleaning, shopping for food, and wait for the husband to come home and serve him.

He wants to kick all immigrants out of the U.S because he says they only came here for bad. He hasn’t kicked only hispanics out but also others like the Muslims; he has discriminated them as well for terrorism. If we see the case for women’s rights, it still happens. Many women around the world are still being abused by men in many ways. Many of the men still think the same that women are much weaker than men. Yes, maybe women weren’t made with the equality of strength that men have but because of that, it doesn’t give them the right to still be discriminated and put aside in many other things. It is proved that worldwide in many countries, women are paid less than men. Women are still suffering and fighting for equal rights around the world. As we all know, the president has made some stuffs clear about women’s rights as well. He has discriminated them badly as well as gay couples.

Inventions such as the cotton gin and the steel plow boomed the need for slave labor in the South, so much that their population in that area increased from ⅓ to ½ from the 1840s to the 1860s. The call for freedom for all African Americans loomed with slave rebellions and the abolition movement. However, Southerners and its slave owners vowed to keep their slaves, needing a workforce to labor on their cash crop plantations, that made up the vast majority of their economics.
