History

First, there is the idea that all "men" are created free and equal.  This was meant to show that monarchy and hierarchy did not make sense.

Second, there was the idea that all men were given certain "unalienable rights" by God.  In the Declaration, these rights are enumerated as the rights to "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

Third, there was the idea that government had to rule with the consent of the people.

Finally, there was the idea that any government that did not rule by the consent of the governed and protect the rights of the people was liable to be overthrown by rebellion.

These ideas were taken directly from the writings of Enlightenment thinkers like John Locke.  By using these ideas that were already quite well-known in Europe, the colonists were able to justify their rebellion against England.

That took awhile...

Which invention during the 19th and early 20th century do you think had the greatest impact on the daily life of Americans? Why?
ANEK [815]
Where would we be without electricity—or the light bulb? Probably sitting in the soft glow of our kerosene lantern wondering why the toaster isn’t working. Clearly, the advent of electricity in the waning years of the nineteenth century had an enormous impact on society, for it not only reduced the fire danger by replacing gas-fed street lamps with non flammable electric light bulbs, but paved the way for everything from the television and the radio to the refrigerator<span> and the curling iron. Of course, it also brought us the electric chair, but that’s another story.</span>

From what you have learned about the U.S. reaction to the Irish diaspora, what similar effects do you think Australia and Canada
Vitek1552 [10]

From 1841-1850, 1.3 million people moved  overseas, the greatest part around 70% went to the  USA, the rest of them shipped to Australia and only 2% to  Canada.  A lot of people died because of different diseases during the trip and the conditions were terrible. In the USA, quarantine centers were established for arriving ships, where sick emigrants recovered. The emigration continued until the  First World War. Canada and Australia reacted in a different way, because the amount of emigrants was much lower, the greatest part of emigrants decided to move to the  USA. Emigrants had the poorest jobs and bad conditions for life in the USA.
