Module 6, Woodrow Wilson Requests War (April 2, 1917)

 In 1917, Mr. Wilson made a speech for America's entry into World War 1. In that case it was a very 

serious matter and had to be made immediately. It was war in all nations. American lives are being 

taken in ways which it had stirred us very deeply to learn of. There were no discrimination. The  

challenge is to all mankind. Each nation must decide for itself how it will meet it. Our motive will not 

be revenged or the victorious  assertion, but only the vindication of right, of which we are only a single champion. 

The congress declare the recent course of the imperial Germany government to be in fact nothing less than 

war against the government and people of the United States. The world must be safe for democracy. We 

desire no conquest, no dominion. We shall be satisfied when those rights have been made as secure the 

faith and the freedom of nations can make them.  It will be all the easier for us to conduct ourselves as 

belligerents in a high spirit of right and fairness because we act without animus.  Now let's get into 

World War 1, they had more for reaching consequences than any other preceding war. Economically, 

the United States to become the world's leading creditor and industrial power. World War 1, killed more

people. More than a million soldiers, and sailors and flyers and more than 5 million civilians, involved 

more countries (28 nations) than any previous war in history.

    Nice reflection, Ahmari! Woodrow Wilson is an interesting person to talk about it in terms of World War I. I would say specifically find his speeches interesting. speeches. I disagree with Wilson on the majority of his principles. The sacrifice of man, both soldiers and civilians during this war as you pointed out was great. However, I cannot discount his ability as a well-spoken speaker and presenter. I think more people should really study the Wilson and how he forms his speeches.

    I really enjoyed your post Aahmari! You included how reading the information made you feel which was a nice touch. I also like how you included numbers into the post. Reading how many lives were taken during World War I is tough. It makes you think about how old were some of those people. A lot of younger men were sent off into this war and it makes those number even harder to read.

    Great way of breaking the content into pieces it’ll be more easier to understand. Most facts in there were important enough to help the reader identity how important and significant this war was.

Module 2 Reflection: Mississippi Black Code, 1865

Image
 South Carolina and Mississippi passed laws known as Black Codes to regulate black behavior and  impose social and economic control. Mississippi Black code was Immediately passed by southern state  legislatures. Also, outlined legal rights and aimed at creating a subservient labor force. About 2,000  African Americans held public office and 16 elected to US congress and 600 elected to state legislatures.  The American Dream is a national ethos of the United States, in which freedom includes the opportunity  for prosperity and success, as well as an upward social mobility for the family and children. Whites?  Freedom did not = equality. African Americans, escaping the injustices of slavery. While they granted  some rights to African Americans, like the right to own property, to marry, or to make contracts, they also  denied other fundamental rights. I don't think it's valid, because its true African Americans are free, but  people are still getting treated wrong. I feel like Afr

Module 7, Women's Suffrage Movement

Image
 American women had the highest female literacy rate in the world. In the 1820s and for decades to come  married women could not own property, make contracts, bring suits, or sit on juries. Elizabeth Cady  Stanton and others organized the first women's rights convention in history in Seneca Falls, New York, in  1848. Women have had to overcome the oldest form of exploitations and subordination. In the fight for  women's suffrage, most of the earliest activists found their way to the cause through the abolition  movement  of the 1830s. In 1840, when Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton attended the world Anti- Slavery Convention in London, they were forced into the gallery along with all the women who attended.  Their indignation led them eight years later, to organize the first U.S. women's rights convention at  Seneca, Falls, NY. In the early years of the women's rights movement, the agenda included much more  than just the right to vote. Their broad goals included equal ac
