City bosses were admired by immigrants and poor citizens because they provided jobs for these individuals. Many immigrants struggled when coming to America because they did not know the language. This limited the places where they could work. So when city bosses offered them jobs, they were excited at the opportunity to make money in order to support their family.
Introduction
The background of the system of the preschool education which we know today was made by Patty Smith Hill, a famous American activist in the sphere of education and nursing. Being a daughter of the Presbyterian priest, she was brought up by the principles of mutual benefit and the importance of education. The approach which Patty Smith Hill introduced to the educational system can be called as reformative and innovative.
The Life and Work of Patty Smith Hill
Patty Smith Hill was born on 27 March 1868 in the State of Kentucky in the family of the Presbyterian priest who was the founder of the Bellewood Female Seminary (Explore the laureate n.d.). Her father was strict and exacting; he taught Patty and her brothers and sisters to be dedicated to labor and learning. “Her mother, Martha, received college-level private tutoring at Centre College. Though earned, she never received a formal degree because she was a woman”
It should be noted that the equality of rights and duties of children was encouraged by the parents. The home commitments of boys and girls in the family were the same regardless of the gender. Undoubtedly, such progressive up-bringing of children influenced their future destinies. The mother strongly believed that the childhood is the period when the person should enjoy the pleasures in life if they did not contrast to the moral and ethical norms.
She encouraged her children playing various games to develop their independent thinking (Explore the laureate n.d.). “Even as Dr. Hill moved his family to serve different colleges throughout the United States, Mrs. Hill established extensive play areas at each new home”.
In 1887 Patty Smith Hill graduated from Louisville Collegiate Institute where she obtained her professional education (Explore the laureate n.d.). “The greatest influence on early childhood education of this time was Fredrich Fröbel, who started the first Kindergarten in Germany”.
Later, she became an assistant and a student at the Louisville Kindergarten Training School (Explore the laureate n.d.). It was the start of her brilliant career in education. After working as an assistant for some time, she became the supervisor at the Louisville Kindergarten Training School where she discovered she had talent teaching infants.
She had been working as a principle at the Louisville Kindergarten Training Schools for 12 years and “studied during the summer months with Hall, Dewey, Colonel Francis W. Parker, and Luther Gulick, the father of the U.S. playground movement” (Explore the laureate par.5). Later, Patty S. Hill joined Teachers College at Columbia University from which she retired in 1935. Patty Smith Hill died on 25 May 1946.
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland remained officially neutral throughout the American Civil War (1861–1865). It legally recognized the belligerent status of the Confederate States of America (CSA) but never recognized it as a nation and neither signed a treaty with it nor ever exchanged ambassadors. Over 90 percent of Confederate trade with Britain ended, causing a severe shortage of cotton by 1862. Britain financed blockade runners that sent munitions and luxuries to Confederate ports in return for cotton and tobacco. Top British officials debated offering to mediate in the first 18 months, which the Confederacy wanted but the United States strongly rejected.
The British elite tended to support the Confederacy, but ordinary people tended to support the United States, the Union or "the North". Large-scale trade continued between Britain and the US. The US shipped grain to Britain, and Britain sent manufactured items and munitions to the US. Immigration continued into the US, with many Britons volunteering for its army.[quantify] British trade with the Confederacy fell over 90% from the prewar period, with a small amount of cotton going to Britain and some munitions and luxury goods slipped in by numerous small blockade runners. They were operated and funded by British private interests. They were legal under international law and caused no dispute between the US and Britain.[1]
The Confederate strategy for securing independence was based largely on the hope of military intervention by Britain and France. That never happened because the US threatened war, which would have cut off much of Britain's food supply. A serious diplomatic dispute erupted over the "Trent Affair" in late 1861 but was resolved peacefully after five weeks.
