As mentioned previously, Angelina Grimké belonged to one of Charleston’s premier families; accordingly, she undoubtedly participated in a number of high society events, balls parties, picnics, teas, and other traditional festivities throughout her young adulthood. However, after departing from Charleston in 1829, Angelina joined her older sister Sarah in Philadelphia and eventually became a member of the Quaker church in 1831. Angelina’s involvement in the Society of Friends undoubtedly impacted her mannerisms and style of clothing throughout the 1830s. Because my impression highlights Angelina’s public career during the 1830s, I will attempt to develop a costume that reflects her Quaker background and faithful membership in the Society of Friends. Nineteenth-century Victorian dress emerged simultaneously with the 1837 accession of Queen Victoria, and involved a plethora of differing styles and aesthetics.
"All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveler is unaware." Martin Buber Even though Christopher Columbus Day is an important day in the discovery of the Indigenous people in the Americas by Europeans, Columbus never actually set foot in the United States.

Schwab and Chicago railroad magnate John Whitefield Bunn. The World’s Fair of London in 1851 called the Crystal Palace Exhibition was extremely successful in bringing crowds from all sorts of class lines to show off the exposition. This was basically Chicago’s turn to fulfill the best and score major points in the world’s view of exposure to the iconic features of the end of the

The Civic of Christmas When most people think of Christmastime, they picture Santa Claus, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, The Nutcracker, and snow-covered hills perfect for sledding. At face value, these age-old holiday observances are just ways of celebrating the holiday season, or traditions that have been passed down from generation to generation. However, upon further examination, aspects of the holiday season have had deep-rooted impacts on our society. During the turn-of-the-twentieth-century Progressive Era, practiced rhetoricians took strategic advantage of the opportunity to connect the emotional appeals of the holiday season with the widespread social activism that unfurled across the nation. The landmark
“The impression I had was that we were leaving the West and entering the East” (Bram Stoker ) This is one of the opening statements with which Stoker’s main character, Jonathan Harker, starts his description of the landscape he encounters while traveling across the continent towards Transylvania.

In addition, Stoker grew up in an environment where the "Problem of women 's emancipation in nineteenth century Britain was...recognition for their achievements" (Jihang 49).
