How Did Golf Change America

The sport golf is not a game of perfect and I not only chose to base my concept map off of golf because I like golf, but because things don’t always go as planned and the United States of America has hit many “bumps in the road” to get where we are today. My topics support the idea of the change in America because every single one of them altered America in a Permanente way that cannot be changed. Each one of the ways I chose also grew America in some unique way.
The first topic I chose was the Civil Rights Act of 1866. This act was so important because this was the first law to define citizenship in the United States. It changed America because this act declared that all person born in the United States except Native Americans are citizens.
New technology consisted of streetcars, elevators, and skyscrapers. All these aspects changed cities because they assisted in the development of skyscrapers. Thanks to steel and elevators, building could now support more than ten floors and workers wouldn’t hate walking up multiple flights of stairs because of the elevator. Streetcars also provided many more job opportunities for suburban livers because they now had a way to get into the city for their work without having to live in the city. This amazing technology has changed city-life for us and helped America grow into a country of skyscraping cities. The final thing that transformed and grew America was not a topic but a person, Theodore Roosevelt. He brought strength and leadership into the country and presidency. Roosevelt helped grow America because he preserved thousands of monumental acres of land, he enforced the meat-inspection-act saving us from contaminated meat today, and finally he busted up railroad trusts with the antitrust act. These three important effects made Roosevelt a remembered
For example, the Civil Rights Act of 1866 allows us to have the rights we still experience and have today. The transcontinental railroad started standard time which is what we currently use today in the United States. Next, an upgrade in technology has allowed us to build skyscrapers which have kept improving and becoming higher as the years go on. The start of elevators, steel construction, and streetcars lead up to the amazing cars, busses, buildings, and overall technology we have today. Some of the struggles that occurred back then we do experience today such segregation with white and black occasionally. Also, poverty was a big issue then and still now especially in major cities the amount of homeless people is crazy. I do think that these topics and changes play a part in the future because people will not want to make or experience the same mistakes people have in the past. They will influence our future in ways that America will continue to grow and change in many different ways. Eventually topics influencing growth today that we are living through will be those studied and written about by people in the far
