19th century:
group 3:
education- more women became teachers during the late 1800's. john Dewey helped reform the focus to the students at school he also invented the Dewey decimal system. political ideals in the 19th century also shaped a new support for the education of women. government wanted the women to have eduction for themselves, then go on and teach their sons and daughters. this was a time period when education became more important. for the education there were many pros and many critics. many women were expected to be educated for domestic work by their mothers after leaving any elementary schooling they may have had. public schools took a huge growth spurt during the 19th century. immigrants also started attending public schools.
education changes- throughout history the percentage of students graduating has inclined and in the nearest 20th century it has really spiked.
laws and restrictions on africans after reconstruction- during the reconstruction era africans were supposed to be treated equally but they still weren't. they still had less right than whites even after the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth amendments which were made to help give them rights. (know the 13th, 14th, and 15 amendments)
gaining land- blacks did have issues getting their own land, after reconstruction they didnt have the money to get the land because they were slaves and didnt get paid to be a slave, and the land they needed was already taken so they got stuck with land that wasnt very good for their crops.
Ku Klux Klan- the KKK would kill a Africans livestock, and would attach any African that owned land and would force them to work for their previous white landlords. they were very bad people. they were white supremacists and hated the blacks.
civil war- many people died. even tho the slaves didnt get their freedom away the people that died did die with a purpose the slaves did get their freedoms just not right away.
entertainment (1800-1900)- Back in the late 1800's a big thing that was developing was show films. vacationing was starting to become a common thing. trains were a big addition to this. america had a lot of money during this time so they spent it going to baseball games and movies and vacations etc. americans were also spending a lot of money on the circus, the circus was very elaborate during that time. the circus was great entertainment for families. wild west shows were starting to merge during this time (buffalo bill)
