"Two Important Laws That Changed America"

                                                                                                               

Vote

             The 15th amendment was known as a grant for black men to vote. This  law ensured that if you are any race you are able to vote. This law was ratified on February 3 and in the year of 1870, however it had to be in the year of 1965 that some African American men were registered to vote in the south. New York ratified this amendment on April 14, 1869, rescinded on January 5, 1870, rescinded the rescission on March 30, 1870.

             The 19th Amendment was the women's rights suffrage. Back in the days women were not aloud to vote

which was wrong. Anyways they had a convention in Seneca Falls, N. Y. in 1848 were feminist attended.This amendment was ratified August 18,1920. One of the feminist was Susan B. Anthony she died before the law was ratified. If you think about it that wasn't many years back when women got their freedom. We should 

say thanks to the feminist who fought for  women's  rights.

          

         These two laws sought to address both economic and social problem because it has  to do with voting.  They both have to do with people fighting for their rights. The people had the rights to speak. They made  our world today. The 15th amendment gave former slaves get  to vote. The 19th Amendment gave all women to vote and also gain respect. Without the ratifications and work for these laws our world wouldn't be how it  is  today.

"A Splendid Little War"

             

                                                                Spanish American War

                                 

           If  I lived in Europe I wouldn't be convinced that the U.S became a great world power by defeating Spain because they did it in a mean way. However they gained more countries. Also the U.S gained independence and put themselves in Cuban affairs. My opinion is that they gained power in a very serious way and showed people to not mes with them. Also could be a warning to other countries with a lot of  land.

          

          Yes,I  think that newspapers and television can stir so much feeling or even make war because a journalist can do or say lots of things to make their story good. Also to cause war and can twist up peoples words to each other. They do foolish things to see some action and to write another good story. The can be called instigators.

                                                                  Japan's Disaster

        

          I'm sure we have all heard about japans devastating tsunami and earthquake. It has been last weeks Friday that this happened. Already 3,400 people have been confirmed dead on last Tuesday morning and 7,000 still missing however,half a million of people are in shelters due to their homelessness. Some people like Sandra Bullock and Demi Lovato donated $1 million each to Japan. The military and many of people are helping to find people and the United States is shipping food there and basically helping the people. CNN stated that the nuclear plant did not worsen on Friday. Also they found Milk and spinach in it.  I hope Japan recovers and many people can be found. If people do what Demi and Sandra did  than the country can recover faster so please help. I send my regards to them and hopes to the people. I also posted some videos too, they are very interesting.
