As more immigrants arrived in American cities in the late 19th century, urban populations skyrocketed. This posed major challenges for city governments, including providing adequate housing, transportation, water, sanitation, crime prevention, and fire protection for the growing populations. Common problems included overcrowded tenement housing, lack of indoor plumbing and clean water, piles of horse manure in the streets, increased crime rates, and destructive fires due to buildings being close together and made of wood. Cities struggled to establish effective police, fire, and sanitation services to address the problems that arose from rapid urban growth and industrialization.

Urbanization
As cities grew rapidly in the late 19th century due to immigration and industrialization, overcrowding and unsanitary conditions became major problems. Lack of proper housing, transportation, water, sewage and waste removal led to the spread of disease. Jacob Riis' 1890 book "How The Other Half Lives" documented these terrible living conditions in New York City tenements through photographs and drawings, helping to spark reforms to improve urban planning, housing, and public services.
ch 19
This document discusses many aspects of urban life in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the United States, including industrial specialization, transportation innovations, population growth and migration patterns, housing and living conditions, social reform movements, and the development of new forms of entertainment like motion pictures, newspapers, and radio. Cultural diversity increased in urban areas as people from different backgrounds immigrated and settled in cities.
Unit 6 notes 2
This document summarizes urbanization and urban problems in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Rapid urbanization led to overcrowded housing, increased crime, and problems with infrastructure like sanitation, water, and fire safety. New technologies allowed for mass migration from farms to cities. Social reformers worked to address these issues through policies, organizations like settlement houses, and drawing attention to problems through photographs of urban poverty.
Immigration & Urbanization
During the late 19th century, many immigrants came to the United States for economic opportunities and religious freedom. New immigrants came from southern and eastern Europe, tended to be unskilled or poor, and settled in cities. They faced both push factors like famine and war in their home countries, as well as pull factors like available jobs. Ellis Island processed immigrants arriving in New York, while Angel Island processed Asian immigrants arriving in San Francisco with more scrutiny. Americanization efforts aimed to assimilate immigrants by teaching them English and American customs, but nativism and laws like the Chinese Exclusion Act also increased. Rapid urbanization and industrialization changed American society and culture.

The document compares the development of Atlanta and Birmingham after the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s. Atlanta had a more racially diverse population and business community that grudgingly complied with desegregation earlier. Birmingham had a segregated power structure dominated by industrial leaders that resisted integration and encouraged racial tensions. As a result, Atlanta's economy and population grew rapidly while Birmingham declined, with Atlanta becoming a model of Southern progressiveness in comparison.
Immigration and urbanization
Between the late 19th and early 20th centuries, millions of immigrants from Europe, Asia, the Caribbean, and Mexico arrived in the United States, primarily settling in urban areas. They came for opportunities for work and to escape difficult conditions abroad. Immigrants faced harsh processing at arrival points like Ellis Island and Angel Island before trying to assimilate into American culture or creating ethnic enclaves. Rapid urbanization strained infrastructure and led to overcrowding, disease, and other problems as cities struggled to provide services for the large influx of newcomers. Political machines also exploited immigrants and the poor through corruption and graft.

The document summarizes developments in the post-Civil War South, West, and urban areas of America between 1860-1910. It discusses the rise of sharecropping and tenant farming in the South, expansion of the railroads, and continued economic dominance of cotton. In the West, it outlines the migration of settlers including African Americans, conflicts with Native Americans, the cattle industry, rise of farming, and the closing of the frontier by 1890. It also summarizes the massive growth of U.S. cities, challenges of urbanization, the influx of immigrants, growth of popular culture such as newspapers and sports, spread of public education and social philosophies like Social Darwinism during this time period.
Assignment 3
New York City has experienced periods of both prosperity and poverty throughout its history. During times of economic hardship in the 19th century, many New Yorkers lived in extreme poverty on the streets with disease and lack of resources. However, New York also saw growth as a center of trade and industry, making it the richest city through technological advances. Immigrants from Europe helped expand New York's population and workforce in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, though their arrival also led some native-born citizens to fear loss of American culture and identity.

U.S.2.Immigration And Urbanization (1865 1914)
Between 1880 and 1920, large numbers of southern and eastern European immigrants arrived in the United States, settling primarily in cities. They fled conflicts and economic hardships in their home countries and were drawn by the prospect of employment and land ownership in America. Upon arrival, immigrants faced difficult living and working conditions as they assimilated into urban society and culture. Cities saw rising populations, new forms of transportation and architecture, and changes to public health and consumerism as a result of immigration and industrialization during this period.
A c 9 us chapter 9
The document provides an overview of the Progressive Era in the early 20th century in the United States. It discusses the origins of progressivism and goals of reformers to protect social welfare, promote moral improvement, create economic reform, and foster efficiency. Some key reforms discussed include regulating big business, protecting working children, limiting women's work hours, election reforms, and the direct election of senators. Teddy Roosevelt's "Square Deal" platform is also summarized, including his trustbusting efforts and environmental conservation accomplishments.
Urbanization
Skyscrapers were invented in the US in the 1870s in major cities like Chicago and New York. They were made of structural iron and steel instead of masonry. Builders faced challenges with safety, wind resistance, ventilation, and transportation within tall buildings. By the late 19th century, skyscrapers were understood to be steel-framed structures. Between 1902-1931, New York competed to build the tallest building, though height became controversial. Downsides of skyscrapers included overcrowding, lack of sunlight, and impersonal cities. Urbanization and immigration overwhelmed housing, leading to widespread slums with unsanitary multi-family dwellings and disease.

The youth culture of the 1920s in America changed inevitably due to influences from World War I and changes in home life. Young people, especially women, disregarded Victorian traditions by drinking alcohol, having sex, adopting new fashions, and participating in risqué activities. This wild youth culture revolutionized gender roles as women gained more freedom and independence through influences like alcohol, cars, changing views of sex, and new media, much to the dismay of older generations.
APUSH 1870-1900: cities, immigration, and labor unions
The document summarizes changes in American cities between 1870-1900, including rapid industrialization, immigration, and population growth. Millions of immigrants arrived from Europe during this period, and the urban population increased over 700% as people moved from rural to urban areas. New York, Chicago, and other major cities saw growing overcrowding and poor living conditions in tenement housing and slums. Reformers like Jacob Riis documented these issues to promote social reform.
Industrialization power point(1)
During the Industrial Revolution, new industries like railroads, steel, oil, and automobiles transformed the US economy. Inventions such as the telephone and light bulb further modernized society. However, rapid industrialization also led to poor working conditions, long hours, and unsafe factories. New laws like the Sherman Anti-Trust Act and 19th Amendment were passed to address these issues and protect workers' and women's rights, but racism and segregation persisted through the Jim Crow era.
The Chapter 17 Ppt Aligned
The document discusses the growth of cities in the United States during the late 19th century due to large waves of immigration. Millions of immigrants from Europe and Asia flocked to cities, causing overcrowding and poor living conditions in urban tenement housing and slums. Corrupt political machines also exploited new immigrant groups for power. Reformers established settlement houses to help immigrants adapt to American culture and life in cities. New technologies like steel-framed buildings, elevators, and railroads enabled the growth of skyscrapers in cities and the development of planned industrial towns by companies.
Work Life & Leisure Part 1
The document summarizes the urbanization of London from the 18th century to the early 20th century. It describes how London grew rapidly due to industrialization and colonial expansion, reaching a population of 4 million by 1880. This growth led to overcrowding, poverty, and crime in the city. Efforts were later made to address issues like public health, housing, transportation, and workers' rights through actions like building new housing, establishing parks, developing the underground railway system, and passing legislation on child labor and working hours. The urbanization of London significantly impacted society and led to changes in families, gender roles, and the rise of social movements.

New York City: The Crossroad of World Trade
1) New York City struggled to remain the economic and cultural center of America but was able to capitalize on developments in other cities. The merger of AOL and Time Warner helped keep New York's headquarters and status.
2) Chicago grew rapidly in the late 19th century, pioneering skyscrapers and urban design. The 1893 World's Fair transformed the city's landscape and civic identity.
3) New York's population exploded in the early and mid-19th century due to immigration and the Erie Canal, leading to overcrowding and slum conditions. Tensions rose during economic crises and the Civil War draft.
Festivals of US
The document discusses several famous festivals in the United States, including the Kutztown Folk Festival in Pennsylvania, New Orleans Mardi Gras, the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta in New Mexico, Burning Man in Nevada, Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in California, Groundhog Day celebrations in Pennsylvania, Electric Zoo in New York City, Lollapalooza in Chicago, Art Basel Miami Beach in Florida, and South by Southwest in Texas. These festivals celebrate various themes like folk traditions, Mardi Gras, hot air balloons, community and art, music, predicting the end of winter, electronic music, alternative rock, modern art, and music, film, and interactive
The Hoover Years
The document summarizes the economic conditions of the Great Depression in the United States during the presidency of Herbert Hoover from 1929 to 1932. It describes high unemployment rates, declining farm incomes, drought, homelessness, hunger, and the formation of shantytowns. Hoover's policies of voluntary cooperation, increased taxes and loans are assessed as inadequate to address the crisis. His refusal of direct relief and violent response to the Bonus Army hardened public opposition to his leadership.
Urbanization 141
Urbanization has led to challenges for traditional city centers as digital economies allow more dispersed workforces. While some predict growth of mega-cities, others argue this will lead to problems and that a future with vibrant smaller cities and suburbs is more likely to emerge. Cities concentrate wealth but also inequality, and very large populations do not always correlate with stronger economies. Developing a distributed model of urban planning may be preferable to focus on mega-cities.
The Hoover Era
The Great Depression had devastating impacts across the United States in the early 1930s. Unemployment reached as high as 80% in some industrial cities. A drought hit the Plains in 1930, killing many farmers and livestock and forcing over 2.5 million people to relocate west. Herbert Hoover's policies as president failed to adequately address the crisis - his emphasis on voluntary cooperation proved insufficient, and his rejection of direct relief exacerbated widespread homelessness, hunger, and suffering. By 1932, Hoover's popularity had plummeted and he lost re-election in a landslide.

Life at turn of century
By the turn of the 20th century, four out of ten Americans lived in cities where skyscrapers and electric rail systems were emerging to accommodate rapid urbanization. Racial discrimination was also widespread and legalized through Jim Crow laws and Plessy v. Ferguson, while new technologies like airplanes, movies, and mass media began connecting and entertaining the nation.
Bridge to the 20 th century & gilded age
This document summarizes the settlement of the American West between the 1860s-1890s and the clashes that ensued with Native Americans. It describes how settlers pushed westward due to manifest destiny and incentives like the Homestead Act. The construction of the transcontinental railroad and arrival of settlers led to numerous conflicts with tribes as they resisted losing their lands, such as at the Sand Creek and Wounded Knee massacres. Ultimately the Native Americans were defeated and forced onto reservations as the government sought to assimilate them through policies like the Dawes Act.
The gilded age
The document summarizes political and social changes in the United States during the Gilded Age from 1876-1900. Millions of immigrants arrived from Europe and Asia, fleeing poverty and persecution. They faced difficult journeys and were processed through stations like Ellis Island. Nativist groups opposed immigration, leading to restrictions like the Chinese Exclusion Act. Political machines controlled cities by providing jobs and services to immigrants in exchange for votes. Corruption was rampant, as seen with Tammany Hall and the Tweed Ring. The Gilded Age was a period of vast wealth inequality and the growth of "robber barons" but also the beginning of reforms like civil service laws.
Urbanization & political machine 2011
The document discusses several topics related to immigration and urbanization in the late 19th century United States, including the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 that banned Chinese immigration, concerns around job competition from immigrants, the growth of cities and problems with infrastructure, housing, and public health, as well as political machines that controlled cities through patronage and corruption. Settlement houses provided services to new immigrants in urban areas. The document also briefly mentions women's suffrage movements and civil rights leaders Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. Du Bois who disagreed on strategies for racial equality.
Chapter 20 - Towards An Urban America
The document summarizes key aspects of immigration to the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It describes the differences between old and new immigrants, challenges faced by new immigrants from Europe and Asia, and the nativist movement opposing increased immigration. It also discusses the growth of cities and urbanization, as immigrants comprised the majority of city populations, living and working in poor conditions.

Solo tech presentation for nagw
As a solo web worker, it is important to balance multiple responsibilities while keeping costs low. To do so, one should evaluate their whole technical environment, understand cloud services, practice good file management, develop websites, host websites and intranets, provide tech help to clients, manage remote computers, and provide training. However, it is not possible to do all of these things well while also being cheap, good, and fast - so solo workers must pick any two.

Revolution in England
The document summarizes the revolution in England that established parliamentary rule over absolute monarchy. It began when King John faced a rebellion from nobles in 1215, forcing him to agree to the Magna Carta which established basic legal rights and limited royal power. This led to the development of institutions like common law, due process, habeas corpus and an increasingly powerful Parliament that sought to restrict monarchs' authority. This conflict continued until the Glorious Revolution of 1688 established England as a constitutional monarchy with Parliament drafting the Bill of Rights to define the powers of monarch and parliament. A cabinet system developed where government ministers answered to Parliament rather than the monarch, establishing the prime minister as head of the ruling party.
Biodiversity Vertebratesvs Invertebrates
Vertebrates are animals that have backbones, including fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. They are characterized by having a backbone, muscular system, central nervous system, and endoskeleton. Invertebrates make up 97% of animal species but do not have backbones, instead using specialized cells to move. Examples of invertebrates include sponges, jellyfish, worms, insects, starfish, and snails.
Money & Politics
In the United States, billions of dollars are spent on political campaigns each election cycle, with an estimated $2 billion spent in the 2004 presidential election and $1 billion in Senate and House races. This money comes from private contributors, including wealthy individuals and political action committees, as well as public funds and is used to pay for television ads, staff salaries, polling, mailings, and other campaign expenses in the goal of getting candidates elected.

This document discusses OpenID, which is an open standard that allows users to log into multiple websites using a single digital identity. Some key points:
- OpenID allows for simplified sign-ins by using an identity provider like AOL, Yahoo, or Google instead of creating multiple usernames and passwords.
- Benefits include single sign-on access across sites, easy signup, and decentralization. However, there are also security, privacy, and usability challenges to consider.
- The author implements OpenID on their own site using their MyOpenID or OpenID.net account, and encourages others to get an OpenID and try logging into enabled sites.

Chapter 7 section 2
Rapid urbanization in the late 19th/early 20th century led to overcrowding, unsanitary housing, unsafe drinking water, high crime rates, fires, and inadequate transportation systems in many American cities. Reformers attempted to address these urban problems through measures like developing public water and sewer systems, introducing water filtration and chlorination, establishing full-time police and fire departments, and building safer housing like row houses. Settlement houses also aimed to improve living conditions and provide social services to the urban poor.

Unit 2 notes (industrialization and immiigration)
1) In the late 1800s, most immigrants to the United States came from southern and eastern Europe rather than northern Europe. They entered through ports like New York and were inspected at Ellis Island.
2) Millions of immigrants came for economic opportunities and freedom from persecution, pushed by factors like poor farming conditions and pulled by plentiful jobs. They settled in ethnic neighborhoods in large cities.
3) Immigrant workers faced poor living and working conditions, such as overcrowded tenement housing and unsafe factories with long hours and low pay, including child labor. Events like the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire led to reforms for worker protections.
immigration and urbanization
The document discusses the mass immigration to U.S. cities in the late 19th century following the Civil War. Millions of European and Asian immigrants arrived seeking opportunity but faced challenges assimilating. They lived in overcrowded tenement neighborhoods and faced discrimination, while their cheap labor fueled industrialization and urbanization. Political machines exploited new immigrants by providing services in exchange for votes.

The document discusses immigration and urbanization in late 19th and early 20th century America. Millions of immigrants arrived from Europe and Asia during this period seeking opportunity but faced difficult journeys and had to pass inspections at places like Ellis Island. Most immigrants settled in cities where they faced overcrowding, unsanitary conditions, and the rise of political machines that helped new arrivals in exchange for votes. Reformers worked to improve conditions for immigrants through organizations like settlement homes.
Test Eleven AP US History
The document summarizes key aspects of urbanization in the United States between 1860-1920. It notes that during this period, many rural Americans and European immigrants moved to cities in response to industrialization. This rapid urban growth led to overcrowded tenement housing, inadequate infrastructure, and public health/safety issues. Reform efforts attempted to address these urban problems through improved city planning, sanitation systems, labor protections, and social services. However, poverty, crime, and social tensions remained ongoing challenges in many American cities during this time of massive industrial and demographic transformation.
6.2 urbanization
The document summarizes the massive urbanization that occurred in the United States between 1860 and 1900. Millions of immigrants flooded into cities seeking jobs and opportunities, and the population of major cities like New York and Chicago grew tremendously. Living conditions in cities were often overcrowded and unsanitary, with inadequate housing, water, sanitation, and threats of fires and disease. Political machines also formed to control power in the growing urban areas. Journalists like Jacob Riis exposed the problems of poverty and living conditions facing immigrants in the cities.
Chapter 6
The document provides a summary of chapter 6 from the textbook "World Regions in Global Context: Peoples, Places, and Environments" which discusses the United States and Canada. It covers the countries' geography, climate, history of settlement and colonization, population patterns, cultural diversity, internal migration trends, transforming economies, and persisting social issues.
The challenges of urbanization
The challenges of urbanization in the 19th century resulted from rapid growth of cities due to industrialization. Immigrants and farmers flocked to cities for more job opportunities but found overcrowded and unsanitary living conditions like tenement housing with poor plumbing and sanitation. As city populations boomed, urban problems increased such as inadequate transportation, water supply issues, mounting trash and disease. Reforms emerged like settlement houses to assist the urban poor with social services and address public health issues exacerbated by rapid urban growth.
Us.1.Immigration And Urbanization Section 1
Immigration and urbanization dramatically changed American society from 1877-1914. Large numbers of immigrants arrived from Europe, attracted by opportunities in America's growing cities. They provided cheap labor that fueled industrialization. However, immigrants often lived in overcrowded and unsanitary tenement housing in urban areas. The growth of cities concentrated populations and led to changes in lifestyles, including use of public transportation, work schedules, and interaction with strangers. Urbanization concentrated populations and industry in cities and transformed America into a more urban nation.
Topic 8 urbanazation Industrial Revolution
Urbanization transformed American life in the late 19th century as cities grew rapidly. More people moved to cities for work in the many new factories located there. Buildings in cities became taller and more densely packed as populations increased due to large-scale immigration and workers leaving farms for better opportunities. This led cities to become overcrowded and unsanitary, with many living in poor conditions in tenement housing. Political machines also rose to gain control of corrupt local governments in many big cities during this time period.
Unit 2 powerpoint (Immigration and Industrialization)
Beginning in the late 1800s, most immigrants coming to the U.S. were from southern and eastern Europe. Immigrants lived in their own separate neighborhoods and kept many of their former traditions. Immigration led to a massive increase in the number of slums and tenement buildings in U.S. cities. Workers blamed immigrants for low wages or shortages of employment. A resentment of foreigners crept into America’s attitudes.
APLOUSD CH 25
By the late 19th century, many Americans were moving to cities drawn by new industrial jobs. Rapid urbanization led to overcrowded living conditions, inadequate infrastructure, and public health issues. Between 1870 and 1890, the US population doubled and the population of cities tripled. By 1900, 40% of Americans lived in cities of over 2500 people, with New York, Philadelphia, and Chicago each surpassing 1 million residents. Immigrants, especially those from southern and eastern Europe, integrated less easily than earlier groups and faced nativist backlash. Reformers worked to address urban problems and help immigrants through settlement houses, social programs, and advocacy for workers' rights.
One of the central stories of American history has been the settleme.pdf
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.

BarbatoAnnette_PublicHousingResearchPaper
This document provides a history of public housing in Chicago from the late 1800s to present day. It begins by discussing the establishment of Hull House in 1889 to support European immigrants. As more African Americans migrated to Chicago after World War I and II, public housing projects like Cabrini-Green were built but became increasingly segregated and deteriorated over time. By the 1960s and 70s, Cabrini-Green was overcrowded and in decline, with 70% of housing on the Near North Side being government-owned. The document examines how repeated failures to address issues like poverty, crime, and segregation have trapped generations of public housing residents in a cycle of hardship.
American urbanization
- The document discusses the urbanization of New York City in the late 19th/early 20th century, describing the divisions between rich "sunshine cities" and poor, overcrowded "shadow cities" with poor living conditions.
- It also discusses the political corruption at this time, as well as reforms during the Great Depression like the New Deal programs which aimed to provide relief, recovery, and reform.
- The growth of the automobile industry in the 1920s accelerated suburban expansion as people could commute into cities more easily.
Ch.5- Immigrants and Urban Life
1) A new wave of immigration in the late 1800s brought large numbers of immigrants from Europe, Asia, and Mexico to the United States, changing immigration patterns.
2) Immigrants faced challenges adjusting to life in the US, often living in crowded cities and working difficult jobs, but many found community in immigrant neighborhoods and support from organizations.
3) Some Americans opposed the new immigration and worked to restrict it, passing laws like the Chinese Exclusion Act, due to concerns about jobs and cultural changes.

Vietnam War
The document discusses the causes and key events of the Vietnam War. It began as an effort by the US to contain the spread of communism through alliances and policies like the Domino Theory. This led to increasing American involvement and escalation over decades. Major events included the division of Vietnam in 1954, the Tet Offensive of 1968, and the Fall of Saigon in 1975, which ended with a communist victory.
The Cold War
The Cold War was a period of political and military tension between the United States and Soviet Union from 1945 to 1991. Though they never directly fought each other, there was a constant rivalry as each country sought to spread their opposing economic and political ideologies across the world. This included the US aiming to contain the spread of communism and rebuild democratic allies through programs like the Marshall Plan, while the Soviets wanted to promote communism and control Eastern European governments as a buffer against Western influence. Their conflicting goals led to an arms race, proxy wars, and the division of Europe and Germany between capitalist and communist spheres of influence marked by the Iron Curtain.
McCarthyism
During the McCarthy Era of the 1950s in America, Senator Joseph McCarthy exploited fears about communism for political gain. He claimed to have a list of government employees who were communists and launched accusations with little evidence. McCarthyism led to widespread paranoia where Americans were denounced as communist sympathizers. It influenced society through restrictions on education, censorship of media, and promotion of pro-American ideals. McCarthy's accusations eventually lost credibility and he was censured after televised hearings showed his bullying behavior, marking the end of the McCarthy Era.
US Enters The War (WWII)
This document provides background information on the political and economic isolationism policies of the United States in the 1920s-1930s and the events leading up to its entry into World War II in 1941. It discusses the Neutrality Acts of the 1930s, FDR's 1937 quarantine speech, and the Cash and Carry policy of 1939 which allowed allies to purchase arms. It also covers increased defense spending in 1940, the Lend-Lease plan to aid allies in 1941, and the Pearl Harbor attack which led to the US declaring war on the Allied side against the Axis powers.
Japanese Internment
During World War II, over 120,000 Japanese Americans were forcibly relocated and detained in internment camps across the United States. In 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066, which led to Japanese Americans being evacuated from their homes and detained without due process. Ten internment camps were established in remote locations, including Manzanar in California, where families were housed in overcrowded barracks surrounded by barbed wire fences under armed guard. Life in the camps was difficult, as internees lived in poor conditions with little privacy or amenities while struggling with inadequate medical care and racism.
WWI
The document discusses key details about World War 1, including when it took place from 1914-1918, the countries involved, and the long and short term causes. It also discusses America's initial isolationism, what eventually convinced the US to join the war in 1917, including German submarine warfare and the Zimmerman Telegram. The US then helped supply the Allies with troops, money and resources to aid their efforts and turn the tide of the war. The war had social impacts on the US such as more women working and African Americans migrating north.
Reconstruction and it Effects
Political reconstruction led to a power struggle between Congress and the President over readmitting southern states to the union and granting citizenship and voting rights to African Americans. The 14th and 15th Amendments aimed to define citizenship and prohibit racial discrimination in voting. Economically, the South was devastated by the war and faced problems rebuilding industry, infrastructure, and agriculture without slave labor. Socially, the Freedman's Bureau and civil rights acts aimed to help former slaves through education, healthcare, and equal protection under the law, though racial tensions remained high.
Reasons/Results of the Civil War
The document summarizes some of the key political, economic, and social reasons for the outbreak of the Civil War. The North supported a strong central government and the abolition of slavery, while the South believed in states' rights and the right to own slaves. Economically, the North was becoming more industrialized while the South relied on slave labor for its agricultural economy. These deep divisions and fears over the issues of slavery and states' rights ultimately led the South to secede from the Union and the North to refuse, resulting in the Civil War.
Iraq War
The document discusses the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. It outlines the key parties involved in each conflict such as Saddam Hussein, the US government, and terrorist groups. It also provides timelines for when each conflict began and lists reasons for American involvement such as responding to terrorist attacks and spreading democracy. Finally, it notes some results of the conflicts like rising death tolls and immense financial costs for the US.
Ptolemy, Copernicus, and the Church
The document discusses the transition from the geocentric model of the universe proposed by Ptolemy and Aristotle, in which Earth is the center, to the heliocentric model proposed by Copernicus, in which the Sun is the center. It also provides context about the Scientific Revolution that began in Europe in the late 1500s and early 1600s, when scientists began systematically testing theories through experiments and observation rather than relying on traditional explanations. Some of the key figures who helped establish the modern scientific method are mentioned, including Galileo, Vesalius, Harvey, Boyle, Bacon, and Descartes.
Chinese exclusion Act
- Early Chinese immigration to the US in the 1800s was spurred by instability in China and the California Gold Rush, with over 20,000 Chinese immigrants arriving by 1852 to work in the gold fields.
- However, Chinese miners faced resentment and violence from white miners who saw them as competition. Laws were passed targeting Chinese immigrants and many left the gold fields for San Francisco's Chinatown.
- In the 1860s, Chinese laborers were recruited to build the Transcontinental Railroad, facing dangerous work and racism, though they were integral to its completion in 1869. Anti-Chinese violence increased in the 1870s as the economy declined.
Timeline of Democracy
The document provides information about democracy and society in ancient Greece, the Middle Ages/Medieval Times, and modern times. It then discusses several aspects of medieval European society including feudalism, the power and influence of the Catholic Church, chivalry, manors, farming, trade, towns, government, education, and the bubonic plague.
American Ideals
The document summarizes examples of groups excluded from American ideals in the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. It discusses the oppression of dissenters by the Puritan church in New England. It also outlines the mistreatment of Native Americans, including taking their land through broken treaties and armed violence. Finally, it describes how African Americans were treated as property and not people under the system of slavery, which separated families and denied basic rights.
Philosophies of the Constitution
The document discusses six philosophies found in the Constitution: republican government, limited government, individual rights, popular sovereignty, separation of powers/checks and balances, and federalism. It also explains that the Bill of Rights was added to formally protect citizens' rights and freedoms, as some feared the new US government might not respect individual liberties or states' rights without explicit protections.
The American Colonies
The document summarizes the early colonial history of America. It discusses the various European powers that established colonies, including the English, French, Dutch, Swedes, and Spanish. It then focuses on the Puritan settlers in New England and their religious motivations for establishing the Massachusetts Bay colony. Finally, it explores the political ties that the colonies maintained to Britain as part of the British Empire, which eventually led to tensions and the American Revolution.
Maps, Maps, Maps
The document discusses different types of maps and their purposes:
- Climate maps show climate and precipitation zones using colors.
- Economic/resource maps use symbols to indicate natural resources and economic activities in different areas.
- Physical maps illustrate terrain features like mountains and rivers using colors to denote elevations.
- Political maps show boundaries and label cities and capitals.
- Road maps provide driving directions and label roads and points of interest.
- Topographic maps use contour lines to show elevations.
- Latitude and longitude help locate places on a map; the document asks the reader to name cities given coordinates.
Communism In China
By the end of WWII, the Chinese Communists had gained control of Northern China and were fighting a civil war against the Nationalists led by Jiang Jieshi. Mao Zedong's Communist forces swept to victory, establishing the People's Republic of China. The Nationalists fled to Taiwan under Jiang. The Communists won due to support from peasants unhappy with landlords and taxes, growing discontent with the Nationalists' economic policies and corruption, and control of the countryside allowing them to cut off and capture Nationalist cities. After this victory, the Communists conquered Tibet in 1950.
McMarthyism
McCarthyism arose in the late 1940s and early 1950s as anti-communist paranoia grew in response to Soviet expansion in Europe, the Soviet atomic bomb, and the Korean War stalemate. This led Republicans like McCarthy to accuse Democrats of being soft on communism, fueling fears that caused millions to take loyalty oaths or face investigations and limiting political activism and union activity. Concerns over Soviet espionage were high during this period, leading to the conviction and execution of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg for passing nuclear secrets to the Soviet Union.
The Treaty Of Versailles
The Treaty of Versailles established several major provisions punishing Germany after World War 1:
1) Germany was forced to return territory like Alsace-Lorraine to France, extend the French border westward, and surrender all overseas colonies.
2) Germany's military was strictly limited with caps placed on troop levels and a ban on weapons imports or production of submarines and airplanes.
3) Germany was solely blamed for causing World War 1 and made to pay massive reparations of $33 billion to the Allies over 30 years.
Understanding Life In The 1920s
Women gained the right to vote in 1920 and began adopting new styles like short skirts and bobbed hair. Prohibition began in 1919 when the 18th Amendment banned alcohol, but smuggling of liquor was widespread. Sports became hugely popular, with fans flocking to see stars like Babe Ruth and boxing matches. New forms of transportation like automobiles and commercial air travel began transforming America in the 1920s.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.What is an RPA CoE? Session 1 – CoE Vision
