  1. Social Concerns of the Late 1800’s (Other than everything else we have already talked about – industrialization, segregation, nativism & immigration, etc )

  2. Treaties What seemed to be the value of treaties with the Native Americans? Remember the Treaty of Gaudalupe Hidalgo? (ended the Mexican American War, included a provision that land rights of Mexicans in the area would be recognized by the US, but 4/5th lost their land) Every hear of the Burlingame Treaty of 1868? (promised to guarantee government protection for Chinese immigrants) In general – what impression do you have of 1800’s federal treaties?

  3. Mexican-Americans • Since most of the Southwest lands were territories and not states, Mexican-Americans lacked representation in Washington, DC • Los GorrasBlancas – (the white caps/hats), resorted to more violent methods • Movement supported by the Knights of Labor • Development of cultural groups to protect and promote Hispanic American culture

  4. Women’s Rights 1869 – Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton created National Women’s Suffrage Association 1906 – WY, UT, CO, ID – only states allowing women to vote Increasing number of women receiving a “real” education and professional training Increasing number of women involved in the WCTU (Women’s Christian Temperance Union) – promoted a ban on alcohol
