Rundown since 10/24
Sickness has derailed updates for the last 8 school days. But below is what has taken place each day.
10/24-We talked about the Chinese Exclusion Act and how America chose to kick the Chinese out.
10/25-We finished the Chinese Exclusion and Students had to do a DBQ paragraph using the documents.
10/26-I began talking about business leaders. We looked briefly at how Rockefeller created an empire. The main part was by taking out his competitors. We also looked at how these individuals were both "Robber Barons" and "Captains of Industry"
10/29-Mr Whitman taught about monopolies and big business and how they were able to take over industries. Vertical and Horizontal Integration were methods to increase their wealth. Rockefeller's and Carnegie's gained enormous wealth by controlling everything it took to make empires.
10/30-We started to look at how workers were the ones making these wealthy men so much money. It was their hard labor and cheap pay that helped. We looked at how workers finally began to stand up for themselves. We watched a clip from the homestead strike at the end of class.
10/31-We finished looking at the Pullman strike after the Homestead strike. Both of these strikes resulted in dead workers. Despite these strategies it would pave the way for future progress. The Coal strike of 1902 was the homework to finish up. It showed just in 10 years how American strikers went from dying and getting fired, to making some progress.
11/1-In class we looked at Booker T Washington and WEB DuBois and how they paved African American rights through education. They also garnered massive fame in promoting equality and earning equality. We had a quickwrite on them as well and then read some of there viewpoints.
11/2-I was out, Students looked at lynchings and the effort to bring that to the attention of America, and the court case of Plessy vs Ferguson that will begin separate but equal in America.
