i have to write a paper on at least 2 amendments that relate to my history class. the topic i chose was immagration. do any of you guys know if their were any amendments made to target early immagration? 1900's irish and italians. etc.

When is it due? I will ask my aunt. My uncle taught us history for 35 years. Her job was to type all the tests and then grade them.

Don't forget to proof read

Is this for high school or college?

Im not great with early 1900s US history, but I can tell you something that may be relevant. There wasn't much done for immigrants back then, but they were looked down upon heavily, and crooked cops made situations worse. Which is really where the mob originally came from, Italians who spoke little English didn't trust local law enforcement so the mafioso protected them. Just a little something that may help, or be 100% useless.

College?

Summer class or ending the spring semester? Although you do have the answers that you're looking for this time, next semester let me know if you need any more help. My degree is in history with a minor in cultural anthropology.

spring,

well i dont have the answers yet, i can see acts that pointed straight at immagration, but not 2 ammendments, maybe you can help me out this time.

[*67firebird*]

so im changing it to slavery, i do like the immagration issues, (im thinking about becoming a history major, and studying early immagration)

but there are 3 amendments that point directly at slavery, so that might be easier.

thanks.

That's right, you're in the Marine Reserves.

Just for ****s and giggles, volunteer in a classroom for a week before you spend too much time getting your history degree. I was in my last semester when I realized that I did not have the patience to be a teacher.

[*67firebird*]

ok. well i know i dont have much patience, but i do like history and teaching. i guess it just depends on the students

[Zig'sbird]

Yes, I loved history and teaching...or so I thought. Also look at the high turnover for teachers. It's something along the lines of after after 5 years of teaching, over half of new teachers quit.

Now, once I retire and am old, I will volunteer in a museum in their collections department. If it paid more I would do it for a full time job.
