 They wanted their own land and kept getting cheated on by the white man. At the start, Nicodemus had three dollars in his treasury. Science answers  1. The primary thing pushing mass wasting is water and humans. 2. A rockslide occurs when rocks slide only a short distance, while rockfalls occur when rocks fall for much longer distances and are instances of mass wasting. 3. The primary ones are if humans have removed roots, trees, and vegetation from hills, which loosens up the soil, and after rain, mass wasting can occur. The same thing can happen with a river that is right below a hill, which can cause erosion and mass wasting. 4. A rockslide is where rocks slide from mass wasting. 5. A rockfall is where rocks fall from mass wasting longer distances. 6. we contribute to mass wasting by removing the trees with the roots alongside hills this loosens and gets ride of the structural integrity of the hills causing mass wasting.

 My place on immigration is this.  I think there should be an open border with relatively simple ways to get in a simple background check and a photo id then we just put a record in the country of you this way we vet a lot of people that would be dangerous if they want to stay in America its as simple as going to a secretary of state office and getting citizenship.

 I liked the stories at the start about the "doctor" and how the account had been preserved and not so preserved over time.  I like how he went out by himself when he was young and attempted to make it nd the luck he got and the wisdom he could attain at such a young age.  This book was a work of somebody who gave everything for his country and he still echos with us today.

 Historians have used the term Gilded Age for the period right after the Civil War and on because it is clear that there was a lot of money in those days.  During this time there was rampant paying people off just so you could get a better part in politics most politicians were very rich and used their position to gain more and more wealth. This was also when there was an economic boom things started ramping up in factories and everywhere but especially in America because it had so many untamed resources at the time.  the use of this term guilded age was a very good and useful term to describe what was happening at the controversial but very important economic time.  The guided age will go down in history as extremely important and it shows what we should not be doing when we become politicians.

 There are two points that I must go over that led to the industrial rev First the demand the demand of products was going up. Also boosting that was the supply there was a ton of supplies from America tons and tons of raw materials could be converted into things. Lastly technology had gotten to the point where these massive buildings could be raised and hundreds of workers employed as well as the railroad that grew massive during this time time was being saved therefore giving more time to work. 

 The Reconstruction I belive was something America had to go through. I would say it did what it needed to do freeing all the African Americans just because the African Americans had never been free they didn't know hoe to act so they had a lot of issues with making money and such like that.
