In this essay I will discuss two tools of maintaining segregation that emerged in the late 19th century as well as the early 20th century. I believe segregation in the United States stems from and is deeply rooted in immigration.

During the nineteenth century why did criminals continue to break the law when the punishment was so barbaric? Despite the Industrial Revolution‚ crime was on the rise.

The Penal System in England during the nineteenth century did not seem fair. Regardless of the reason for criminal activity‚ the punishment didn’t seem to fit the crime either. Undoubtedly

19th Century China Drawing on what I’ve learned from class discussions and individual research‚ the 19thcentury in China brought a lot of failure and hardships.

Around this time China experienced economic regression when foreign interests invaded the country. With the majority of the world expanding and advancing‚ China found itself
