The Moon Landing Effects

The Edmund Fitzgerald was launched June 8, 1958 at River Rouge, Michigan. According the article called Edmund Fitzgerald, “At 729 feet and 13,632 gross tons she was the largest ship on the Great Lakes, for thirteen years, until 1971.” The Fitzgerald and the Arthur M. Anderson, another freighter on Lake Superior, traveled about 10 to 15 miles apart. The Fitzgerald was a faster ship and took the lead, A storm was upgraded early in the morning on November 10. The conditions were bad, “With winds gusting to 50 knots and the seas 12 to 16 feet”. I think the Edmund Fitzgerald sank because of the Three Sisters.

The death Eugene Williams, one of the majors point of the Chicago Race Riots of 1919, it was one of the things that actually started to make the majority of African-Americans act. Eugene was hit and killed by a thrown rock by a white male on the breakwater, even after his identity was established he wasn’t arrested. Even to make matters worse one of the males accompanying him was arrested instead in the chaos. Of course, many people fought but the majority of the race moved out of the south, the southern states passed new constitutions and laws that dehumanized African-Americans and made them into slaves, they even had to flee from the Ku Klux Klan. This led to The Great Migration, which changed Chicago politically and culturally.

Dick Rowland (African American) was being tried for attack and attempted rape of a white woman named Sarah page. On the day of May 31, of 1921, Ms. Page opened the elevator and Mr. Rowland went to enter the elevator. He tripped because the elevator did not stop moving the way it should have, and so he grabbed what there was so he did not fall; and that happened to be Ms. Page’s arm. She let out a sharp scream and a clerk from not too far away Saw Mr. Rowland run out of the building and Later he was tried and as some white believe he did try to rape her as on the other hand African Americans did not believe in what was said what so ever.

The Civil War and Reconstruction period, Gilded Age, Imperialism, and World War I all brought challenges, expansion, and transformation to this nation and it’s people. These periods would change the nation, “In the years following the Civil War, formed and their white allies, North and South, would seek to redefine the meaning and boundaries of American freedom” (Give Me Liberty 555). The Civil War split apart the nation due to slavery differences between the North and South. The historical narrative from 1865 through World War I involves the challenges faced with inequality and violence resulting in the transformation of geographical space, cultural landscape, and political institutions.

John lewis can be named many things. Leader of marches and protests during the movement, amazing person and one of the most hard working people alive today. Yes he is all of those things.

It was spring of 1963 the day of the March on Washington. I think the March on Washington had a huge impact because this was the year that 34 year old Martin Luther King Jr. made his now famous "I have a dream" speech. This speech made him a major civil rights leader, and also became the nation 's most famous orators. Also this March helped the bill of right pass. In 1964. President Johnson signed the civil rights act. It banned employment, discrimination, and segregation in public places, and soon signed the Voting Act in 1965. Both bills together outlawed

Now before the Civil Rights Movement, some causes were going on. The first was discrimination, like the Jim Crow laws, having people be complete opposites with each other and be rude towards each other. Next was segregation everything was different like the, water fountains, sections of the bus, they even had different school, colored schools, and white schools. The last cause in my opinion, this is the most sad of them all the violence, the African Americans were getting their houses caught on fire by the mischievous whites, getting viciously beat by the whites sometimes even killed like getting run over by a car, sheriff 's releasing their demon dogs on African Americans as well.

On 9/11 that was the day the terrorist had hijacked and rammed jetliners into each New York world center. The effect it had on people was that people where feeling Pain, sadness, and hurt. They felt hurt because their family was in the crashes. People were breaking down and crying. Young people where jumping out of the window. Other people were just scared to see this happen. The government had to response because if they didn’t the terrorist will just keep on doing this and hurting innocent people. The government response was “close terrorist training camp. Hand over leaders of the al- Qaeda network and return all foreign nationals.” It was just not America that suffered on 9/11 the entire civilized word was transformed

The war all began because of the communist party that began to rise in Northern Vietnam. The U.S. helped Southern Vietnam fight against the Viet Cong. They also fight against Northern Vietnam to stop communism. American men were also drafted,which heavily impacted families in the U.S. Through research and close examination of events related to the Vietnam War, a person can learn about the mass bloodshed of the people involved and not involved.

Apollo 16 the fifth mission to land people on the moon to earth. Apollo launched at 12:54 EST on April 16,1972. The mission had gotten early complications, which were command and service module problems. The apollo spacecraft had a lot to do with the mission as well, it was built almost the same as Apollo 15 but just made to carry out greater ranges. At the beginning of day three, the spacecraft was about 157,000 nautical miles (291,000 km) away from the Earth. Since they had these complications, Apollo 16 was terminated.

The early 1900s was an empowering time frame for the American people where we advanced as a nation and it was common for opinions from all over America were heard. To kick off the 19th century, our nation entered the First World War. We came across many great advances, like new jobs, new technologies, and the idea of patriotism, but unfortunately, we also came across many problems, where our country, the Government, and our people, had to deal with situations that have never been dealt with before. We had to make new laws and acts to prevent some of the new problems that were happening because of the new war era, and also had to be constantly reminded to follow the constitution we fought so hard to create. Although, we overcame and fixed many

At 11:40 pm on April 14, 1912, on her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York, the RMS Titanic struck the iceberg that would ultimately lead to the sinking of the ship less than 3 hours later.
