      Cultural traditions were vanishing, but not because of some inability to keep up with progress. When Curtis was visiting the reservations in the early 1900s, indigenous people were being forcibly assimilated by the American federal government after decades of violent eradication and seizure of land.

      I think its so horrible how many lives the US has obliterated, there was absolutely no reason (other than disgusting white pride, and greed) for the US to rip apart innocent peoples lives and cultures

      those men needed to be acclimated first, to the conditions they would find below. And so they were sealed into this iron chamber. And in would rush the pressurized air, up from a hole in the floor. And with it, the pain.This pressure, this pushing, deep in your ears. Starting fast and pushing hard. It would be excruciating. And then it would slowly release—though, sometimes it wouldn’t. And you’d be stuck all day with it in your head. Even after you’d heard a tapping at the bottom of the metal cell, and the trap door at your feet had opened up. And a man streaked with

      I love how raw-detailed this is, it shows us just exactly these people experienced everyday

      And you will need a caisson, built of wood and metal, a capsized ship of a thing. You will need to float it out to the middle of the river, and sink it to the bottom, eighty feet down, and then start digging, another 44 feet on the Brooklyn side, 78 feet on the Manhattan side, through mud, and silt,and stone,until you hit bedrock.

      I had always wondered how bridges and overpasses were built underwater, its crazy to finally learn about just how much it takes to get all of this done!

    Why Champagne? | JSTOR Daily

      The industry also created a myth around Dom Pierre Pérignon, a monk who died in 1715 and was resurrected more than a century later as the supposed inventor of sparkling wine

      This is something along the lines of what i mentioned earlier! I believe that the audience that the drinks sells to is all determined by the companies that've developed said product, like how the Dom Pierre drinks range from upwards of $170.00, the companies create some magnificent backstory to get their product out to the higher class societies so that they benefit the most and yield the most profit

      The trouble was that many champagne-making wineries had no actual connection to any French lineage.

      Its funny that we're discussing this! my stepdad and i just had a conversation about how apparently if its not made in France, or some area inside France, it can't actually be called champagne which is why we now have 'sparkling wine' I feel like its only seen as a token of fanciness because of its title, and the way its been marketed towards certain groups, similar to sparkling water!

      opium users (white) were treated less harshly than opium sellers (Chinese).

      Another example of Classic america, we victimize the drug users because the users are white in most cases, like this one (dont come at me) and demonize the sellers because they're POC

      Blaming immigrants for crime isn’t anything new in American history. Nor is selectively legislating against and prosecuting immigrants.

      Unfortunately, this statement has become classic America, America takes an immigrant, whos most likely done nothing wrong, and just want to be safe and absolutely Demonizes them, just like The US did with the Chinese, America blamed the Chinese for OUR issues, made people believe that they were Stealing their jobs, and overall made them out to be horrible people . (sound familiar? cough Trump cough)

      Nast no longer considered the African American an equal partner in the minority rights debate.

      Going back to my earlier statement, Nast used his words and got people to believe he was doing the right things for the right reasons .

      Most are proudly signed by their purveyors:  “‘Down on the Nigger,”  “K.K.K.”  and “’The Chinese Must Go. Kearney (A real American).” Denis Kearney, Nast’s reminder of the Irish-born instigator who shouted the loudest, and most effectively, that “The Chinese Must Go.”

      I believe that Nast wasn't actually fighting for 'equality' with any of his articles, it was mentioned earlier that Nast supported the Chinese man at the cost of the Black man, I believe that he was using this as almost a front, to get people to listen to his words, while seeming like he's fighting for change and in reality only spewing racist bullshit
