THE WEST

THIS MARKING PERIOD IN MRS. GARBER CLASS WE DISCUSSED WAS ABOUT THE WEST. IN THE WEST THERE WAS FARMING, RANCHING, AND MINING. DID YOU KNOW THERE WAS UNPREDICTABILITY OF RAINFALL OF THE PLAIN? IT HAD LARER FARMS THAN MANY OTHERS. THEY ALSO HAD MORE EFFICIENT PLOWS, GAIN SPREADERS, STEAM POWERED THRESHERS, AND COMHUSKERS AND COMBINDERS.

NOW THE DEPARTMENT OF ARGRICULTURE WAS ABOUT CROP ROTATION, HYBRIDIZATION AND PRESERVATION OF WATER AND THE TOPSOIL. IN THE WEST THERE WERE ALSO FARMS CALLED BONANZA FARMS. THOSE FARMS WERE VERY HUGE THAT WAS RAN BY BIG BUSINESS AND THEY ARE ALSO OPERARED BY PROFESSIONAL MANGERS. THE FARMERS ARE SPECIALIZE IN CASH CROPS . THAT WAS AMAZING BECAUSE IN THE WEST MANY PEOPLE WERE TO THEIR SELF. IT WAS ONLY ABOUT THEIR BUSINESS AND CROPS.

IN THE WEST THEY HAD IMPACT OF MACHINERY THAT WAS DEBT AND SPECIALIZATION.

NOW TO RANCHING AND MINING WAS VERY IMPORTANT IN THE WEST. IN 1849 THE CALIFORNIA GOLD RUSH WAS STARTED AND THE REALITIES OF MINING IN THE WEST. THERE WAS PIKE PEAK'S, AND COMSTOCK LODE. THERE MULTIETHNIC MINING COMMUNITIES WERE FULL OF ALL COLORS. FOR EXAMPLE, BLACKS, ASIANS, AND WOMEN. THEYV HAD LARGE ROLES OF CORPORATIONS.

CATTLE RANCHING HAD ANIMALS AND OTHER TYPE OF THINGS. THERE WAS DESTRUCTION OF BUFFALO AND REMOVAL OF THE NATIVE AMERICANS. THEY ALSO INDUSTRALIZE THEIR RANCHING AREAS BECAUSE OF LONG DRIVES, RAILROADS, AND BARBED WIRE. THE RAILROADS AND LONG DRIVES WERE FOR THE TRANSPORTION. THEY ALSO USED THE BIG HORSES. UP UNTIL THIS DAY YOU WILL SEE STATE TROOPERS ON THE BIG HORSES BUT ONLY WHEN ITS NICE OUTSIDE. BUT THE BARBED WIRE IS TO PROTECT THEIR CROPS, CATTLES, AND TO KEEP THE THEIVES OUT.

BUT PEOPLE IN THE WEST DIDN'T RELLY STRUGGLE AT ALL. IF YOU ASK ME I THINK THEY DID GOOD . ALL THEY NEEDED WAS THEIR FARMS, RANCH, AND MINING. DO YOU PEOPLE AGREE WITH ME, LEAVE ME A COMMENT SO YOU CAN COMPARE MY OPINION WITH YOURS.

SOUTHERN DEFIANCE

IN MRS.GARBER LAST HISTORY CLASS, WE LEARNED SOUTHERN DEFIANCE. THEY HAD ESTABLISHMENT OF BLACK CODES SUCH AS CURFEWS LABOR CONTACTS AND VAGRANCY LAWS. THERE WAS SO MUCH VIOLENCE BECAUSE OF THE KU KLUX KLANS. THEY ARE KNIGHTS OF THE WHITE CAMELLA.

IN 1866 THERE WERE RIOTS IN NEW ORLEANS AND THE RADICAL REPUBLICAN PLANS FOR RECONSTRUCTION. IT WAS CONGRESS VS JOHNSON. THE CIVIL RIGHTS WAS IN 1866. VETOS WERE GETTING OVERRIDE.

BUT YOU KNOW THE FOURTEENTH AMENDMENT STATES CITIZENSHIP CLAUSE, EQUAL PROTECTION CLAUSE AND DUE TO PROCESS CLAUSE.

THEY HAD REMOVAL OF FORMER CONFEDERATES FROM CONGRESS. BUT NOW THERE IS A RADICAL REPUBLICAN PLAN. ITS PART TWO. THE STATEHOOD HAD THE MILITARY RECONSTRUCTION ACT OF 1867. FIVE MILITARY TERRTORIES WERE RULED BY THE NORTHERN GENERALS. FINALLY BLACKS WERE ALLOW TO VOTE AND FORMER CONFEDERATES WERE NOT ALLOWED TO VOTE.

YOU KNOW NEW STATES HAD CONSTITUTION. THEY ALL HAD EQUAL RIGHTS, AFRICAN AMERICANS WERE ALLOW TO VOTE AND THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1867 HAD UNCONSTITUTIONAL. THERE WERE RATIFICATION OF THE THIRTEENTH, FOURTEENTH, AND FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT.

THEN NEXT WE HAD RECONSRTUCTION IN SOUTH AFRICA. THEY HAD RECONCILIATION COUNSELS AND RECONSTRUTION HAD DEVELOPMENT IN PROGRAM.

NOW EDUCATION PRIORITY WERE SCHOOLS AND SCHOOL LUNCHES. THEY ALSO HAD REDISTRIBUTION OF LAND AND WEALTH.

THEY HAD ENTREPRENURSHIP PROGRAMS, MEDICAL CARE, WATER, ELECTRICITY, PRIVATIZATION, GRADUATED INCOME TAX AND INCREASED INTERNATIONAL TRADE.

UNITED STATES VS SOUTH AFRICA

So far in miss garbers history class we learned about the conflicts of the United states and South Africa. The conflicts of the United States was the Civil war, and in South Africa it was Apartheid. Apartheid means seperateness in afrikans.

The United States and South Africa had a length of conflicts. South Africas conflicts lasted for 40 years, and The U.S. lasted for 4 years.Both had a history of colonization slavery and segregation.
They both had racial factors and other racial issues. The united States had enslavement and forced migration af Africans. South Africans were colonized by the British and Dutch. The united States mistreated the migrant workers in Poland, Italy, Thailand, and Ireland. South Africa mistreated migrant workers in India.

South Africa has land ownership as well as the United States. South Africas ownership was De Jure White, United States was De Sacta White. In the United States the War ended with a treaty. This treaty was signed by the confederates and the union stating that they would become one union in peace. The Apartheid was settled with a reform.

The results of these battles changed the lives of many. In the United states the slaves were now free. Although they were free they were mostly still segregated, and living under extreme regulations. In South Africa the Apartheid made situations much worse. The reform made many African Americans not like White Africans and the fact that they still wanted to be separate.
