The document summarizes key aspects of the novel To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. It discusses how the white people in Maycomb view the black character Tom Robinson with disdain solely because of his race, despite him being a kind and respectful person. It also explains that the Old Sarum Bunch showed up at the jail to kill Tom before his trial because they knew Atticus was a good lawyer who might prove Tom innocent of raping Mayella. Finally, it states that the jury was unfair in convicting Tom of rape since the evidence did not support the claims against him and it was clear he was convicted for no other reason than being black.Great Depression

It describes the struggling economy of the late 1920s due to falling farm prices and consumer spending. The stock market crash signaled the beginning of the Great Depression, causing widespread bank failures and plummeting GDP. Unemployment skyrocketed to 25% by 1933. President Hoover initially believed the economy would recover on its own but as conditions deteriorated he took more action, though it was too little too late to save the economy or his chances of re-election in 1932.Ronald Reagan (1911-2004)

Prohibition was the act of making alcohol illegal in the United States from 1920 to 1933, as mandated by the 18th Amendment. The temperance movement in the late 19th century pushed for prohibition as a way to reduce alcohol-related issues like domestic abuse. However, prohibition failed to stop alcohol consumption and led to the rise of organized crime rings that bootlegged alcohol. Speakeasies, underground bars that served alcohol, proliferated during this time. Famous gangsters like Al Capone gained power and wealth through bootlegging and other illegal activities related to prohibition. By the 1930s, opposition to prohibition grew and it was repealed by the 21st Amendment in 1933.Leaders of the black civil rights movement

Upton Sinclair's 1906 novel The Jungle exposed unsanitary and dangerous conditions in Chicago meatpacking plants through detailed descriptions. Sinclair described meat being shoveled from dirty floors and piled on tables without washing, traveling between rooms in rotten carts and gathering dirt, splinters, and floor filth along the way. When concerns were raised about health risks, managers claimed the meat would later be cooked, eliminating dangers. A contemporary government report also found meat being shoveled into barrels from dirty floors and tables of cooked meat scraps mixed with inedible and contaminated items. Both accounts revealed the filthy and unsafe practices in early 20th century meat production.Brown Vs Board Of Education

Global warming refers to the rising average temperature of the Earth due to increased greenhouse gas emissions. The greenhouse effect occurs when heat from the sun is trapped in the atmosphere by greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, causing the planet to warm up. The main causes of global warming include the burning of fossil fuels for energy and transportation, which releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, as well as deforestation and decomposition in landfills. Results of global warming include melting glaciers and rising sea levels which flood coastal areas, destruction of forests by acid rain and increased wildfires, and threats to plants, animals, and humans.Google
