The Hatians have not responded in a good way top the presence of U.S Marines in their country. The Hatians feel insulted to have the U.S military in their country. The Marines went into Haiti claiming to protect their gold reserves. On top of protecting the gold though they made their lives difficult. The Hatians created a resistance to the marines and fought them back.

  The Haitians felt that their indepence was taken away by the marines. So they fought guerrila style to get it back. As a result of this revolt, thousands of haitinas were killed, and villages were destroyed. With the Marines came crimes, killing, theft, and continuos insults. The Haitians wanted their country back to themselves and wanted the U.S out. They did not like the U.S there at all.

Yesterday in class we had the fishbowl activity. It was pretty interesting to find out that everyone was against the president in his decision with moving the indians out west. How because the senators liked the president he did not get impeached by blatantly going against the constitution. Today we worked on a reading about Red Cloud and found out that he was a good leader and helped the indians out. First by being a good military leader and trying to stand up for them politically.

I feel like I could live out on the frontier in a soddie. The smell of the sod did not bother me and I could easily live in a house that smelt like that. Also for the house I set it up with on a wall the stove and beds, then a table in the center of the house. Then for the picture I could sit still for the minute that it took to take the picture. That type of living style did not seem that bad to me.

The friday before vacation we had a discussion on the push and pull factors for people moving out west. Then today we started the 16% project. It was kind of interesting to learn about a subject that I would not normally look at. I look forward to working more on that.  

The U.S did achieve manifest destiny. We have settled and created cities all the way to the west and even a little more. In those cities we have made businesses and an industry out west. The U.S set out to settle the west and the whole continent. That is what they achieved, they have settled the west coast, and began an industry over there.

The overall effect of the eire canal was good. It helped create jobs. It helped cities and towns grow. The eire had some bad effects, but these good advancements for businesses had a greater effect. The eire canal helped inventions to be create. Lastly, the eire canal helped for faster travel out west, and more tourism making it be cheaper and faster to travel.

I think the most important topic is Impressment. It is so important because it made us have to stop trading so our seamen would not be captured. Also impressment is apart of the chesapeake affair. So it started to become violent. Impressment was a true threat to people unlike Incitement which was only a possible threat. People where getting taken through impressment, but there was no current violence or kidnapping, or death in the incitement.

In class yesterday we watched a movie on the black civil rights movement. Which went over Emit Till's death and Martin Luther King jr. Today in class we watched another movie on the nine black students that broke the segregation in schools. I thought both movies were very good and informative.

Last class we work in groups and read about school segregation. We also learned about the Brown idea of equality, and the topeka idea of equality. Brown did not support segregation and Topeka did. Today we watched a documentary on Emit till who, at the age of 14, was lynched and murdered because he whistled at a woman, and no one was convicted for his death.

Yesterday in class we read four different documents that talked about Garvey. Garvey had the view that African Americans should go back to their motherland, Africa. Today we read two poems about the south. Then we listened to songs from the Harlem renaissance. Lastly we looked at pictures from the Harlem renaissance. These showed how African Americans had a better and easier life in the north then the south.

Last class we recorded our talking for our projects. Today we read a document about washington and debois, who had two different ideas of how black people could gain equality with whites.

Yesterday we talked about what equal actually means. How separation can never be equal. Then we talked about the Plessy vs. Ferguson trials. This was about a car separation Act which separated blacks and whites on train cars. How the law was unfair to arrest him for sitting in the white section. Today we learned about the jim crow laws. We also worked on our RSA projects.

Last week we read about Andrew johnson in his obituary, who was Lincoln's vice president. We then discussed about him. Then learned what he did and how he was almost impeached. Then today I was absent from class.
