What is the 19th amendment?

The 19th amendment ratified that all women have the right to vote. This made a major impact in women’s lives because of the hard work they , such as protesting that took more than decades. They wrote to the congress, they marched all over and petitioned for so long. The congress finally passed the law on June 4, 1919.

This law was then ratified on August 18, 1920. Millions of women gratefully exercised their right to vote for the first time in many, many years.

They finally had the same rights, responsibilities as men and a citizen.

Creationism Vs. Darwinsim What is evolution? Evolution explains that what we see today is different from what happened in the past. People who were evolutionists, were just against god thinking that he can't make multiple copies of species, like humans. Faith is risen by God’s words. No one can really explain or have evidence that will prove if God really exists. Darwin’s arguments against God is a failure because he is not making true statements. He could not explain in his words and in reality. There is a difference between basing something on data and a difference between belief. We would be undermining religious faith if we allowed teaching of some sort. This is disrespectful. We are pushing to pass a law that says that any speech on evolution should be prohibited in any way. We shall not trust no Darwin with the universe. God is the one who created the universe and humans.

-Isaac Williams Aman Mundra

In 1925 a substitute high school teacher was accused of teaching evolution, teaching evolution is illegal because of the Tennessee's Butler Act. This act was told that teachers couldn't teach the evolution of man because of the Bible account. This is wrong.

People and children should know their perspective on how we, as people have evolved from the past to the future. Everyone should know the truth and the real reason. God is not the one who has created us, humans and animals. We are here because of evolution. Not God. -Hellen Jones

The Jazz Age In the 1920’s, jazz became a huge hit. Jazz was created by the African Americans. Huge advances were made in the 1920’s. Jazz were originated in the New Orleans in the early 1900’s. When more job opportunities came in the North, African and American and musicians moved to Chicago. They found jobs in cabarets, ballrooms and dances.

In 1922, an indie company called Gennett Records in Richmond, Indian, recorded kazz groups that performed in Chicago. One of the first groups that they recorded was called the New Orleans Rhythm Kings.

Then in 1923, the group, King Oliver’s Creole Jazz Band. After these groups, the company became popular bringing in more and more groups into record. Louis Armstrong and sidney Bechet changed music’s taste. The music has changed over all and so has jazz. The jazz has made a muge effect on the people even after all the arguments. Jazz will always be

Urban Vs. Rural Large amounts of Americans lives in the city area than the urban for the first time ever.

Statistically speaking, it happens so that three-fourths of the people worked in places other than the farm itself. Our city life included access to the movies, dances, dating, jazz, alcohol. We enjoy life up here. Its quite lovely. We are more genuinely classy people. We are more social than the rural people.. Our lifestyles are full of wonder and surprises everyday. We are very open people. We allow anything that will benefit us as people.

In the urban life, in the 1920’s, it is very small. We don't have any connections to alcohol, jazz, drinking, etc. we are people of independence, hard working, and religious. We are no fool.

We conserve our own moral values. We are people who trust no one. We don't communicate with them urban people. We always go to church and pray to the lord that has made out presents to this universe. We shall all get the same opportunities as the urban people and the same treatment. Where we live shall not be a label for who we are.

So What if We Drink?!

My name is Rae Besslem, I am a US citizen, husband, and a father of four kids. Some may think of me as a dewdropper, but its frog’s eyebrows. Just because the sale of alcohol is illegal, doesn’t mean I can’t drink. I lap all day and all week long. My wife gets really angry at me when I lap. I don’t see what the problem is alcohol makes me very happy. The government shouldn’t get to choose what we can’t and can put into our bodies. If we drink, it’s not like we’re affecting THEM. We may be affecting the ones around us and the ones who love and care but we’re not doing any harm to the government. I shall be able to buy and drink alcohol whenever I shall want.

Val Ramos

So What if We Don’t?

“I have tolerated my husband’s drinking and the beatings and abuse that fallow for many years. he would come home from the pub late at night smelling like vomit and and singing drinking songs at the top of his lungs. Before Prohibition, Most nights he would drink all the money in his pockets away, I had to chastise him every day and try to convince him to bring money home for our family.

Ever since Prohibition was passed we have had a good relationship, our children are looking healthier and they have better grades in school. I believe that alcohol was ritefully banned, without alcohol in their blood husbands, and wives have become peaceable and are better influences on the future generation.”

- Mrs. Besslem, a dedicated wife and mother Grace Hall

Betty Johnson Talks Women’s Rights Q:What is it like being treated like you are much less than men?

A: It is horrible. It feels like you don’t have a purpose in this life besides tending to the children, cooking meals, looking after the children, and keeping a smile when your husband gets home.

Q: What should be done to change that?

A: First, we should get as many women as possible to support us. Stop doing what we are expected to do and rebel.

Q: Do you feel that that changing things now will make a difference for women in future generations?

A: Yes, we cannot give up. We must keep fighting until we are treated equally.

Q: Why is it that women are looked as weaker than men?

A: I don’t know, I don’t really understand why men think that women aren’t capable of what men can do. Some women may be a little small, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have a strong voice, or opinion.

Q: What else do you think should be done?

A: I think that men should start listening to our opinions on certain things. They think that we don’t know what goes on.

We have voices too, we opinionate, we have personalities. It’s time that we all get heard.

Val Ramos

The Klu Klux Klan is Bad For America The Klu Klux Klan was founded in 1866 by an ex-Confederate soldiers and other Southerners after the Civil War. The KKK stated during the reconstruction at the end of the Civil War.It is made up of white Christians who believe that America should live the “American Dream” and only the “American” way. They don’t like how other cultures come in to the United States. That is the main reason why they kill/hurt people that are not their race or religion. Their primary targets are the African Americans, other religions, and foreigners.

The second KKK in 1915, was refounded in Atlanta, Georgia. In the 1920s, they went to many states to try to convince people to give them their vote. They also tried to dominate local and state politics. In some states, like Colorado and Indiana, they placed enough Klansmen(KKK members) in positions of power to effectively control state government. In 1925, the clan started a huge march in Washington D.C.. Over four million members attended.

The reason for using very creepy costumes is because they mean to look terrifying and to hide their identities. They make their own masks, robes, and conical hats. They go out during the night and burn crosses outside and local groups took part in attacks on private houses, mostly occurred in the South.

The second Klan is a fraternal organization, which is known as a brotherhood or a secret society. In the mid-1920s, there was 15% of the eligible poopulation and from 4-5 million men in the klan. The KKK mostly attacked and held parades.
