GROWING SECTIONALISM

ROHUN

Click for a virtual gallery exhibition about the significance and symbolism of the Kansas-Nebraska Act. This exhibit concludes with an analysis of the miseducation of students around the country regarding the role that slavery played in the division that led to the Civil War. This is a problem because if we miseducate such a wide variety of students, we will never reach a point as a country of accepting our true history.

All the events and phenomenon we notice today in the United States are related to the history----All the human events, the pattern of living, the former conditions and patterns of living and civilization, and the wars and the conflicts all contributed to the change in the cultures and habits of living.
This exhibit will mainly focus on the important events that leads to the phenomenon that happened today. Racism, and the multicultural society in the United States were caused by some of the important historical turn points, such as the American Civil War, which was fought by the North and the South, liberated the African-American slavery in the South, however some radical actions taken by American leaders caused hatred, detestation, and violence to the freedmen even they were citizens as well, the African-Americans were also treated differently since they were former enslaved group of people. The Gilded Age was a period of immigration where there was an increasing gap between the rich and the poor citizens, and lots of the vacancies in both the occupations and the households, and brought lots of the immigrants mainly from Western and Eastern Europe, and the Asian people (mainly the Chinese people), which leads to the multicultural society today we can see in the United States. The large amount of the immigration of the foreigners and the relocation from the suburban areas of the African-Americans caused the raise in the tension in both the allocation of the resources and the vacancy for job employment, which also caused the racism and discrimination against the African-Americans and other races of people.
