Susan B. Anthony History - 0 views

  •  
    This website describes Susan B. Anthony's lifestyle in six different sections: abolitionist, educational reformer, labor activist, temperance worker, suffragist and women rights campaigner. As Susan B. Anthony grew older her interests changed. The goal of this site was to focus on the main points in her life, give an overview for each of them and show how she made the decision that helping women achieve the right to vote was a greater problem than establishing stronger liquor laws. This was the most useful resource that I used in my essay on Susan B. Anthony and how she impacted American History; I specifically needed information about her life from when she was a young adult (20's) to her death. The Susan B. Anthony House does not include very much about her childhood, which was fine for my purposes. The information is reliable because the Susan B. Anthony House isn't a bias source; it is all facts and doesn't have include any opinions about her life. I would definitely recommend this website to anyone who wants to learn about Susan B. Anthony's adult life. The organization of the site was wonderful and the material was easy to understand. I was able to find information about Susan B. Anthony's rebellion, campaigns and petitions. I used this source to support the idea that Anthony effect America's History. When learning about Susan B. Anthony I realized that throughout the world equality still hasn't been fully achieved; in some places women are still paid less than men.

A History of Nail Polish - 0 views

  •  
    Some topics that were covered in this website were; How in 3000 BC wearing nail polish indicated wealth and social status. Mixed from egg whites, gelatin, beeswax and gum Arabic. (To make different shade they added rose, orchid or impatient petals.) I was very shocked to find out that in 600 BC nail polish was strictly for royalty and those who were lower class and had nail polish on they would be sentenced to the death penalty. Also went into other time periods such as the 14th century and 1500-1990's explaining the trends that went on in those times. I thought this was a very informative website and I learned a lot from it as well.

Colonists coming to the New World - 0 views

  •  
    The main points in this article are the settlements, population sources, the relationships with Native Americans, government, religion, and economy and population growth for the English, French and Spanish Colonies. The purpose of this article is to show the similarities and differences between the English, French and Spanish Colonists during the founding of the New World. There are many topics covered in this article, however the most important topic is the colonists and how they are different even though they came from the same continent: Europe. This articles is a comparison of the three colonists groups and which group would be the best suited to colonize the New World. This is a very useful source to use as notes or to help you debate a certain side, because it shows you the group's strong points as well as the drawbacks. Other sources that I have used only talk about on group of colonists and you really have to dig for answers, whereas this site is organized in a chart and all the information is right in front of you. This was very useful for my U.S. History class because this website showed the different groups of European colonists and their strengths and weaknesses.

How the Ukraine crisis ends - 1 views

  •  
    This article is about the possible out comes that can happen when the crisis starts to come to a close. It also gives a great political history of Russia and the Ukraine.
  •  
    I am glad you put this article on Diigo Clayton! Kissenger does a nice job of reminding people to have historical knowledge before reacting; Russian history and psychology of Ukraine can not be ignored. I was intrigued by his comment that villanizing Putin is a response to not having a clear policy. HK starts his essay well with the reference to how easy war begins and how challenging and daunting it is to end. Words of wisdom...

Soldier's Heart: Literary Men, Literary Women, and the Great War - 0 views

  •  
    This was a work that I used for an American Studies paper. It was about how women gained power during World War One, and how they expressed that power through writing. I was able to access this article through Ms. Burdett's JSTOR account, which was a very useful website because you had access to work that wasn't published on the broader internet and you could keep it all bookmarked together. I knew this was reliable because it was associated with a college, and the author used in-text citations so I could double check her sources if I wanted to. However, it was biased because the author was writing a persuasive piece. She started the work with a debatable thesis and gave evidence throughout the article to support it. This was one of the most challenging articles I've read because it was written at a college level, but the information was at a higher level as well. The author went very in-depth, and while the sheer amount of information was sometimes hard to sort through, it gave me better details in the end. The only drawback I would tell someone else who wanted to use this source was that it was on JSTOR, so I needed Ms. Burdett's password and permission whenever I wanted to use it.
