History

Scrat [10]1 year ago

1. In his text "Revonverting Mexican Americans," the author Daniel Schorr talks about the ways in which Mexicans and Mexican-Americans were welcomed back to the country after WWII. He tells us that they are often the last people to be hired and the first ones to go. He also tells us that prejudice against Mexican-Americans is sustained by the views that Americans have of history, for example, in the battle of the Alamo. He thinks that such stories view Mexicans as inherently lazy and dishonest, which perpetuates discrimination.

2. He believes that resentment among Mexican Americans will not be contained because people will eventually begin to demand rights and equality. He argues that they "can be trodden on just so long." This is based on the fact that Mexican Americans are an essential part of the country, and they deserve the same rights as everyone else.

In what ways did British actions before the revolution lead to the second, third, and fourth amendments
Basile [38]
They found thats there were problems, because the english king was ruling the colonies, when he was over land, so when they made the amendments they noticed all the things the king did wrong and fixed those by writing the amendments
when the soldiers were mistreating the colonist, they thought back to that and said : we should make sure people can defend themselves, 
& remember when the soldiers just came into random people's houses and forced people to give them a place to sleep and food to eat, well the amendment writers thought of that, and thats where amendment 4 came into action

JulsSmile [24]
