1846-1849

The California gold rush led directly to the settlement of California by Americans and the rather rapid entry of that state in the union in 1850. Successive gold rushes occurred in western North America, gradually moving north: the Fraser Canyon, the Cariboo district and other parts of British Columbia, and the Rocky Mountains.

The Removal Act was strongly supported in the South,

where states were eager to gain access to lands

inhabited by the “Five Civilized Tribes”.

President Jackson hoped removal would

resolve the Georgia crisis.

While Indian removal was supposed to be voluntary,

in practice great pressure was

put on American Indian leaders to sign

removal treaties.

Warsaw Pact states were losing power.

Seven days after Iraq invaded Kuwait

on August 2, 1990,

The United States started to deploy

Army, Navy, Marine, Air Force, and Coast Guard units

to Saudi Arabia, while at the same

time urging other

countries to send their own forces to the scene.

The Orteig Prize,

a $25,000 prize offered for the

first non-stop flight from New York City to Paris

spurred a great amount of interest worldwide.

Either an eastbound flight

from New York or a westbound flight from Paris

would qualify.

Lindbergh's accomplishment won him the Orteig Prize;

more significant than the prize money

was the acclaim that resulted from his

daring flight.

On Black Monday,

the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 38 points to 260,

a drop of 12.8%.

The deluge of selling overwhelmed the ticker tape system

that normally gave investors

the current prices of their shares.

Telephone lines and telegraphs were clogged

and were unable to cope.

This information vacuum

only led to more fear and panic.

Social Security in the United States is a social insurance program funded through dedicated payroll taxes called Federal Insurance Contributions Act. The Social Security Act was drafted by President Roosevelt’s committee on economic security and passed by Congress as part of the New Deal. It would encourage older workers to retire, thereby creating opportunities for younger people to find jobs, which would lower the unemployment rate.

By the end of WWI,

some 24 million men had registered,

and some 2.8 million had been drafted.

More than half of the almost

4.8 million Americans

who served in the armed

forces were drafted.

The war was propagated by two major alliances.

The Entente Powers initially consisted of

France, the United Kingdom, Russia

and their associated empires and dependencies.

Numerous other states joined these allies,

most notably Italy in April, 1915,

and the United States in April, 1917.

In reaction to Israeli-Syrian tensions,

Egypt amassed

1000 tanks and 100,000 soldiers on the border,

closed the Straits of Tiran

to all ships flying Israeli flags or carrying strategic

materials, and called for

unified Arab action against Israel.

First conceived to help African Americans,

the bill was amended

prior to passage to protect women in courts,

and explicitly included white people

for the first time.

It also started the Equal

Employment Opportunity

Commission.

It became illegal to compel

segregation of the races in schools,

housing, or hiring.

Powers given to enforce the bill were initially

weak, but were supplemented during later

years.
