History

Beginning at the end of the nineteenth century, immigration into the United States rocketed to never-before-seen heights. Many of these new immigrants were coming from eastern and southern Europe and for many English-speaking, native-born Americans of northern European descent the growing diversity of new languages, customs, and religions triggered anxiety and racial animosity.

In reaction, some embraced nativism, prizing white Americans with older family trees over more recent immigrants and rejecting outside influences in favor of their own local customs. Nativists also stoked a sense of fear over the perceived foreign threat, pointing to the anarchist assassinations of the Spanish prime minister in 1897, the Italian king in 1900, and even President William McKinley in 1901 as proof. Following the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia in November 1917, the sense of an inevitable foreign or communist threat grew among those already predisposed to distrust immigrants.

The sense of fear and anxiety over the rising tide of immigration came to a head with the trial of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti. Sacco and Vanzetti were Italian immigrants who were accused of participating in a robbery and murder in Braintree, Massachusetts, in 1920. There was no direct evidence linking them to the crime, but—in addition to being immigrants—both men were anarchists who favored the destruction of the American market-based, capitalistic society through violence. At their trial, the district attorney emphasized Sacco and Vanzetti’s radical views, and the jury found them guilty on July 14, 1921.

Despite subsequent motions and appeals based on ballistics testing, recanted testimony, and an ex-convict’s confession, both men were executed on August 23, 1927.

Ghella [55]

Answer:

I believe that the painting is an appropriate way to memorialize what happened to the Cherokee people. This is because it shows what it was really like and shows the rawness and pain of what was happening, which is important for future generations to learn from, so it never happens again.

The Compromise of 1850 included the Fugitive Slave Act, which became largely disputed within the northern free states.

Can you tell me a paragraph in Spanish about world history
ElenaW [278]
Historia del mundo es el mejor. Cuando se estudian los seres humanos aprendemos sobre nuestros antepasados y cómo nos muestran lecciones de hoy. Por ejemplo los seres humanos aprendimos, en el racismo del Holocausto es una cosa muy mala. Enterándose de esto los americanos dejó los campos y comenzó a liberar a los presos. En la revolución americana personas believd thath podríamos tener libertad de la britsh. Luchamos en nuestra revolución y ha rechazado los. También mostramos otras lecciones de los countrys. Como Gran Bretaña adoptó nuestra forma de gobierno y se hicieron amigos con nosotros. España de agianst México luchado por la independencia. Cuando nos tenían esclavos hemos luchado durante la revolución para liberarlos. Mi punto es que muchas valiosas lecciones sobre la historia nos han ayudado a crecer y evolucionar a lo que estamos ahora
