Robert Peary led an expedition that was the first to reach the North Pole (in April, 1909).
Nellie Taft (the president's wife) suffered a stroke in May, 1909. She recovered but it took many months.

In May, 1911, the Supreme Court ordered the dissolution of the Standard Oil Company for violating the Sherman Antitrust Act. The company was required to split into smaller corporations. The American Tobacco Company was similarly ordered to dissolve for antitrust violations later in that same month.
In January, 1912, New Mexico became the 47th state of the United States, and in February, 1912, Arizona became the 48th state.

Answer:
Differences between African Americans and European Americans were examined to find how ethnic identity salience was enacted in interethnic conversations, A sample of 126 African Americans and 78 European Americans was recruited from the community using a snowball sampling method. First, different factor structures for the two groups indicated that African Americans conceptualize sociocultural and political identity as separate constructs while European Americans express a singular and social definition of ethnic identity and experience less identity salience than African Americans. Secondly, although our sample is small, those who used the label “African American” expressed greater political ethnic identity salience than those who used the label “Black”. This finding is consistent with others' research indicating a continuing trend toward a positive political posture for African Americans. Third, ethnic identity was found to be negatively related to interethnic communication satisfaction for European Americans. Stronger European American ethnic identity was related to less satisfying interethnic conversational outcomes in less intimate relationships. Ethnic identity salience showed no significant relationship to interethnic conversational outcomes for European Americans communicating with friends nor for African Americans no matter the relational distance.
