At the end of the French and Indian War the British government signed treaties with the Indians in the Ohio territory to restrict the American colonists from moving into there land. The American colonists ignored this British treaty, and started settling in the Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee areas. The British government, unlike the American government in the following century (which very seldom honored the treaties they signed with the Western tribes), tried to honor their treaties with he Indians and keep the Americans out. This brought the Americans and British into confrontation and was one of the main factors that led to the Revolution.
In the era of 1990s, the Democratic Party made major attempts to court African American voters believing that the strength of religious values within the African American community. Unfortunately, it did not increase African American support for the Republican Party. Few of African Americans voted for George W. Bush and other national Republican candidates in the 2004 elections. although he got a higher percentage of black voters than had any GOP candidate.
Republican candidates mostly ignored black voters and even exploited racial tensions by the '70s and into the '80s and '90s.
Thomas Edge says that the election of President Barack Obama noticed a new type of Southern strategy emerge among conservative voters.
There are three most important points behind this diversion.
First, a nation that has the ability to elect a Black president is completely free of racism. Second, attempts to continue the remedies after the civil rights movement will only result in more racial discord, demagoguery, and racism against White Americans. Third, these tactics have been used side-by-side with the veiled racism and coded language of the original Southern Strategy.
More technology and innovation lead to faster and more efficient production, leading to more profits for companies and more money for the growing economy.
By the beginning of the 17th century, the Pilgrims used to celebrate Thanksgiving after their harvests in the New World. At that time, the celebration took three days of praying as a way of thanking God.
The "First Thanksgiving" was celebrated in October 1621 when the Pilgrims got their first harvest in their new lands in America. Not only the Pilgrims but also the Native Americans attended the festival.
From 1789 Thanksgiving has been celebrated intermittently in the US until President A. Lincoln declared "Thanksgiving" a national holiday which would take place on the fourth Thursday of November.
