New Deal For ME!!
As being a white woman life has gotten a little easier for me because of the new deal. I have gotten the right to vote, better pay, and a lot more freedom. Some of us have become flappers while others have become plumbers(Lilia). But on the other end of the stick were are looked at differently because of the things we do in public such as drinking, smoking, and dancing with our clothes half-way off.

Some anti-German propaganda was a German soldier killing an innocent family. Another was a German soldier killing babies. And last of all was Germans killing babies and sticking them on their bayonents. So of the propaganda for today's war is the use of political and war cartoons in the newspapers, on the internet, and in magazines.

The progressive movement tried to solve equality of wages for women. The problem was that wages of women was not equal to the wages of men.Women worked just as hard and had more things to do then the men had to do. Progressive leaders tried to solve the problem by helping to create the womens rights movement and caused to much drama. Even to this day women do not get paid as much as men for the same jobs they do for some areas of work. They don't get treated as fairly either which is still in certain areas of work as well. The progressivim movement leaders tried to help but did not do such a great job.

July 8, 1839 John Davison Rockefeller is born in Richford, upstate New York, to William Avery Rockefeller, a travelling peddler of novelties and "cures," and Eliza Davison Rockefeller, a devout Baptist. Under pressure from his father, John D. Rockefeller drops out of high school two months shy of commencement. He enters a professional school, where he studies double-entry bookkeeping, penmanship, banking, and commercial law. At 16, Rockefeller gets his first job, working for Hewitt & Tuttle, commission merchants and produce shippers Civil War begins and Rockefeller, like some other northern businessmen, hires substitutes to avoid fighting. The war at first disrupts industry, but ultimately it will accelerate economic development in the North, contributing to Rockefeller's meteoric ascent. Rockefeller gets involved in the oil business Rockefeller buys out his partners and founds Rockefeller & Andrew, Cleveland's largest refinery in the time being. John Rockefeller strikes a major deal with a railroad, guaranteeing a certain volume of shipments in exchange for rebates. The first of many, this deal was made with Jay Gould, owner of the Erie Railroad. The Rockefellers move to Euclid Avenue, Cleveland's "Millionaires' Row." Rockefeller founds Standard Oil of Ohio with $1 million in capital, the largest corporation in the country. The new company controls 10% of U.S. petroleum refining. At 38, Rockefeller -- still relatively unknown to the public -- controls almost 90% of the oil refined in the United States. Rockefeller is numbered among the country's twenty richest men. Standard Oil moves into new headquarters at 26 Broadway in New York. The address will become synonymous with Rockefeller's business empire.Standard Oil expands into the overseas markets of Western Europe and Asia, selling more oil abroad than in the U.S. The American dream is to be able to be poor and end up rich.

Reconstruction was and is considered to be a failure because in the end it did not help the free blacks. It was considered to be the governments way of helping but failed at its goal. Still the black free men did not have any land, any money, or had any major rights. So in total all Reconstruction did was help rebuild land.

The Civil War was caused by many different reasons such as whether slaves should be free. Who should get the new territory and what it would be used for. The South wanted to be treated better and many different stupid leaders. Of course there are a lot of reasons yet to be named on what was the cause of the Civil War. But these are so of the important reasons.

John Brown
John Brown was crazy. He believed that God told him (just like many other people in history) to free the slaves. And he decided to go on a violent crusade he killed and chopped of the heads off of five slaveholders. As said before this guy was nuts. On October 16.1859, he led 21 men on a raid at the federal arsenal at Harpers ferry, Virginia. Within 36 hours of the attack most of Brown's men had been killed or captured. John Brown was latered captured himself and hanged. The meaning of this is that John Brown took a stand for something he belived in. He provided a spark before the Civil War started.
