This is the link i will be using for my response.

Back in 1801, Children were used by factories and others jobs to do very harsh and difficult. Children had to report to work at times like to six oclock in the morning all the way till 7 in the evening. And on top of that if the children got tired then their supervisors would hit them with wips to keep them awake. Children also had to work around very dangerous machines that they were sometimes forced to fix or use. While using them they would get injured really bad like loosing hands and just really being hurt bad.

Industrial Revolution/ Inventions

http://www.teachersfirst.com/lessons/inventor/ind-rev-open.htm
this is the link i will be discussing.

Some of the top 5 inventions that seem the most important to me are the following five.
1)The spinning jenny: This simple machine allowed a worker to spin 6 or 8 threads at a time.
2)The automobile: In 1886, the German scientist, Gottlieb Daimler, built the first internal combustion engine. It was fueled by gasoline. Later he put the engine in one of the first automobiles.
3)The Airplane:People also tried to put an engine in a flying machine. Finally, in 1904, Wilbur and Orville Wright successfully flew their Wright Flyer at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Another era began.
4)Photograpy:The Daguerreotype, a metal plate coated with silver iodide, was exposed to light through a small hole in the camera.The plate was removed and treated with mercury fumes. Later the plate was washed and treated with table salt to prevent fading.
5)Electricity:incandescent light bulb and electric generating are just a few of the inventions of Thomas Edison.

These five inventions are the most important to me because without them we would still be cave people writing on the cave walls with our fingers nails and carving our vocabulary into stones.

Nationalism

This is the link i will be using for this blog.

My definition of nationalism is when the people of a country love and stand behind there country during any war or dispute the country may have.
But the actual definition is: Nationalism is basically belonging to, rooting for, and fighting for, your own country.
Some things people do to show nationalism is hang flags outside their homes, throw barbeques on holidays such as Forth of july, when we won our independence, Columbus day, when america was dicovered, and etc. I also do all these things to celebrate america even though i dont like america that much many any.

Latin america revolution

This is the topic i will be disscussing.

The first revolution was by black slaves against their masters. About 100,000 slaves fought for their independence. They had finally won their independence in 1804, and haiti became the first black colony 2 win its independence from european power. Back in Europe, Napoleon controlled Spain and inserted his brother as king of Spain. The people across the ocean in Latin America were supposed to be loyal to the Spanish king, but why should they be loyal to a king that . The revolutions of Latin America were swift and thourough. In 20 years time (1810 - 1830), the entire continent of South America rose up and won its independance from European powers.
wasn't even Spanish? They started to question their role as colonies of Spain.
