1800

Mountain Men came to exist throughout the 1800’s, but were at their peak between 1830 to 1850 mainly because of the Fur Trade. There was never a large number of mountain men to exist. Who can blame them? Living this sort of lifestyle was never easy; even for those who have acquired the knowledge needed to survive. They faced many obstacles while traveling from place to place such as extreme temperatures, starvation, and attacks from Indians and Grizzly Bears. They played a large role in the fur…

People in the U.S have been discriminated against for a long time. Until the late 1800s, the inhabitants of the U.S have generally been Caucasians. Despite being a nation of immigrants, when people of different races such as Asian, Hispanics, or anything that isn’t Caucasians is involved, they are most likely going to be discriminated against simply for being different during those time. Presently, most people have come to understand more about the different sorts of race and ethnicity but not…

In the year 1622, the colony of Virginia (present day state of Virginia), the United States had its very first public execution. For a majority of the country Capital Punishment is one of the best ways to punish a criminal. Capital Punishment is currently a major issue in this country since the very beginning, and I personally believe that it is a major issue; in the factor that it is not used more often in today’s world full of criminals that commit heinous crimes are in need of Capital…

For the most part, the scale of distinct social classes can be (and were by the classes themselves) distinguished by inequalities in such areas as authority, wealth, working and living conditions, life-styles (Cody, 2002). In light of this, the mid 1800 's in the ever-changing United States was a time of social identification. To clarify, groups of individuals began to categorize themselves in a wide scale reform. As a matter of fact, the most common terminology would be to put it simply as…

us black women during the past centuries to overcome sexism, racism, and adversities that were set against us. But although these movements helped the black woman it did not abolish the racism altogether. Black women have come a long way since the 1800s.

In the 1800’s, more land was conquered in North America by the United States which led to plantation growth in the South. This led to the demand of more people to work on the expanded fields from the South, so they utilized the triangular trade system to benefit themselves. However, slavery was a foreign and unacceptable practice to the North since they were more industrialized. This incited a political development called abolitionism in the North which impacted the subjugated African Americans…

On top of working in bad conditions with dangerous machines the working children were often mistreated by their supervisors. “Church and labor groups, teachers, and many other people were outraged by such cruelty.” In the late 1800’s “twenty eight states had passed laws regulating child labor.” With many attempts to end child labor with a national child labor law, the United States was unsuccessful because the Supreme Court declared it unconstitutional. “In 1924,…

Once, women were looked down upon. Not only were their rights neglected, but so were their lifestyles. For many years, it was nearly impossible for a women to have any self-confidence whatsoever without being judged by the opposite sex, or even the government.

Women were not only forced to be uneducated, but to practically “wear the pants” in the relationship by doing nothing short of the…

higher education. The possibility to combine family file with a career in science was not possible until the last 60 years until the 1950s countries like Italy or Germany had laws in place which prohibited for female teachers to be married.
