Nevada became the 36th state on October 31, 1864, after telegraphing the Constitution of Nevada to the Congress days before the November 8 presidential election (the largest and costliest transmission ever by telegraph). Statehood was rushed to help ensure three electoral votes for Abraham Lincoln's reelection and add to the Republican congressional majorities.[1]
Nevada's harsh but rich environment shaped its history and culture. Before 1858 small Mormon settlements along the border of Utah sustained their communities through faith, but the secular western section stumbled along until the great silver strikes beginning in 1858 created boom towns and fabulous fortunes. After the beginning of the 20th century, profits declined while Progressive reformers sought to curb rampaging capitalism
and its attendant miseries. They imagined a civilized Nevada of
universities, lofty idealism, and social reform. But an economic bust
during the 1910s and disillusionment from failures at social reform and a
population decline of nearly one-fourth meant that by 1920 Nevada had degenerated into a "beautiful desert of buried hopes."[2] The boom returned when big time gambling arrived in 1931, and with good transportation (especially to California metropolitan areas), the nation's easiest divorce laws,
and a speculative get-rich-quick spirit, Nevada had a boom-and-bust
economy that was mostly boom until the worldwide financial crisis of
2008 revealed extravagant speculation in housing and casinos on an epic
scale

Excavation in archeology is the controlled exploration of what lies under the surface. It is usually carried out in an ordered way in gridded trenches with a shovel and trowel. It is often slow and tedious work which involves digging down a centimeter at a time, but can be back breaking and difficult toil, sometimes shoveling through meters of densely packed soil. Either way, the purpose is basically the same, to uncover and reveal the type of human activities that took place at particular site over time.

The Vietnam War was a very unpopular war, and many U.S. citizens did not approve of the war. Despite this, the U.S, Government remained in the war even though there was absolutely no way the U.S. was going to win the war. The U.S. had no reason to be involved in the Vietnam War but remained in the war anyway. Thousands of soldiers were slaughtered daily for no purpose whatsoever, and people were very sick of it. Tensions were further increased when The New York Times and Washington Post published leaked top-secret documents that made it evident that the Government had been lying about Vietnam for almost two decades, obfuscating public knowledge of the war to stay in it. Riots and protests erupted in the street and citizens of all ages, race, and gender fought to end the pointless war.
