This particular article stuck out to me because the Mayan were very intelligent people. They created things thousands of years ago that we use today. They excelled in their math and science incredibly. They even carved the theory of evolution in stone 1000 years before darwin! But not only where they "book" smart, they could also build cities we visit and live in today such as Belize, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and the five southern Mexican states. I believe that they discoverd more than we will ever know.

In this artile it asks "did slavery weaken the black family?"What they mean is did slavery cause the high rate of "single-parent" familes. According to James Q. Wilson the number of divorced familes has always been greater in African American homes. But Robert Griswold claims that the black family remained intact until the 20th century, when blacks migrated in large numbers to big cities, where the lack of jobs forced fathers "to leave their families to find work." Studies done on black familes that live in ruel areas show that twice as many live with an unwed mother than whit familes do. In my opinion, all familes have issues no matter what the race and i think we just need to be able to help and support each other through it.

women suffrage

In the United States womans rights first came in demand at the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848. After the cilvil war the demands became much stronger. A rift came amoung women because of the 15th adminment witch gave colord men the right to vote but not any women. Susan Anthony, Elizabeth Stanton and other women  did not approve of this. The women thought that if black men should get the right to vote so should women. From this two organizations emerged. Stanton and Anthony created an organization called National Woman Suffrage Association. They pressed to make changes like granting married women property. Stone formed American Woman Suffrage Association which targeted for women to get to vote for state legislation. In 1890 they came together to form National American Woman Suffrage Association. In the same year Wyoming entered the union and became the first state with general women suffrage.   

Throughout the years, pioneer suffragists began to withdraw from the movement because of age, younger women took leadership roles.One of them was Carrie Chapman Catt, who became  president of NAWSA in 1915. Another was Alice Paul. she was forced to reside from the organization because of her aggressive tactics. She organized the National Woman's Party, which used such strategies as mass marches and hunger strikes. Eventfully because of both organizations hard work it led to victory. On August 26, 1920, the 19th Amendment granted the ballot to American women.
