This document summarizes migration patterns in the United States in the early 20th century, including movements from rural to urban areas and the migration of African Americans from the South to other regions. It notes that after the Civil War, many Southerners did not migrate west but moved to cities for economic opportunities through industries like mills and railroads. African Americans faced discrimination in the South and also moved north for jobs. Immigration to South Carolina was limited compared to other states due to economic conditions. Immigrants who did come made contributions through establishing businesses.
This is the last of a series of lectures on African American history from the Civil War to the 1st WW. It covers the era of the Great Migration, focusing on their living conditions in the South and reasons that lead them to head of the North in such great numbers. The quiz with results is included.
One of the central stories of American history has been the settleme.pdfmalavshah9013
One of the central stories of American history has been the settlement of the West. What push
and pull factors led millions of Americans and immigrants to pour into the West in the decades
after the Civil War? What impact did western settlement by whites have on Indians in the
region? What problems did westerners face once they got there? Why did so many westerners
see the People’s/Populist Party as an answer to those problems? How would you rate the
Populists’ success?
Solution
The railroads created the first great concentrations of capital, spawned the first massive
corporations, made the first of the vast fortunes that would define the “Gilded Age,” unleashed
labor demands that united thousands of farmers and immigrants, and linked many towns and
cities. National railroad mileage tripled in the twenty years after the outbreak of the Civil War,
and tripled again over the four decades that followed. Railroads impelled the creation of uniform
time zones across the country, gave industrialists access to remote markets, and opened the
American west. Railroad companies were the nation’s largest businesses. Their vast national
operations demanded the creation of innovative new corporate organization, advanced
management techniques, and vast sums of capital. Their huge expenditures spurred countless
industries and attracted droves of laborers. And as they crisscrossed the nation, they created a
national market, a truly national economy, and, seemingly, a new national culture.3
The railroads were not natural creations. Their vast capital requirements required the use of
incorporation, a legal innovation that protected shareholders from losses. Enormous amounts of
government support followed. Federal, state, and local governments offered unrivaled handouts
to create the national rail networks.
Lincoln’s Republican Party—which dominated government policy during the Civil War and
Reconstruction—passed legislation granting vast subsidies. Hundreds of millions of acres of land
and millions of dollars’ worth of government bonds were freely given to build the great
transcontinental railroads and the innumerable trunk lines that quickly annihilated the vast
geographic barriers that had so long sheltered American cities from one another
As railroad construction drove economic development, new means of production spawned new
systems of labor. Many wage earners had traditionally seen factory work as a temporary
stepping-stone to attaining their own small businesses or farms. After the war, however, new
technology and greater mechanization meant fewer and fewer workers could legitimately aspire
to economic independence. Stronger and more organized labor unions formed to fight for a
growing, more-permanent working class. At the same time, the growing scale of economic
enterprises increasingly disconnected owners from their employees and day-to-day business
operations. To handle their vast new operations, owners turned to managers. Educated
bureaucrats swelled t.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

1. Early 20th
Century
Migration
8.5-7—Compare migration
patterns of South
Carolinians to such patterns
throughout the United
States, including the
movement from rural to
urban areas and the
migration of African
Americans from the South
to the North, Midwest, and
West.
2. Post Civil War
• Westward expansion continued
• Moves from region to region
• Immigration to the US
• Most of SC did not move west (why?)
• Why move out west?
– Free land offered out west [Homestead Act] (3:16)
– Economic opportunities through the railroad
• Chinese and European immigrants worked the
transcontinental RR
3. From Farms to Mills
• African Americans moved to rural areas in SC;
to factory jobs in the Northeast & Midwest.
• They were not allowed to work in mills in SC
• Social discrimination (Jim Crow Laws) also
pushed them from SC
• Agricultural depression and boll weevil
destruction of cotton pushed many to mill
jobs; both white and black
4. The following chart shows the states which gained the greatest percentage of their population
between the 1920 and 1970s censuses.
5. Immigration to SC
• Foreign immigration did not come to SC in
large numbers
• Due to SC’s depressed economic
conditions, lack of land, & lack of industrial
jobs
• Those who did come made great contributions
to SC by establishing businesses
6. North & Midwest Immigration
• Most immigrants were too poor to move past the port cities
where they arrived
• Ethnic neighborhoods established
• Churches, schools, businesses, & newspapers reflected the
ethnicity of Little Italy, Greektown, & Polonia
• SC neighborhoods & towns were divided by race, not so much
ethnicity
• Many helped ethnic new arrivals-played a huge part in politics
• Immigrants gave their votes to neighborhood & ward bosses
in gratitude for their help
• Many political bosses were corrupt & bribed city contractors
• The power that immigrants groups gave to this urban political
machine allowed the bosses to solve urban problems
• Tillman in SC was like the southern version of a northern boss
8. Restrictions on Immigration
• Racial hostilities led to restrictions on immigration
• “nativism”: A sociopolitical policy, especially in the United States in
the 19th century, favoring the interests of established inhabitants
over those of immigrants.
• Resentment focused on immigrants from Southern & Eastern
Europe (Italians, Poles, Russians, Eastern European Jews) as the
number of these immigrants grew & differences between them &
the already established Irish, Germans, & native Americans were
more obvious
• Immigration systems in the form of a
quota system did not pass Congress
until the 1920’s
• Northern nativism =
anti-African American prejudices in SC
12. National Identity
• Native white people had an inherent
superiority & “100% Americanism”
• Idea of Social Darwinism gave an intellectual
justification for white supremacy (1:56)
• Took till late 20th century to recognize the
contributions they had made to strengthen
the democracy
•
