New York is one of the most important cities during the 1800s. It has many people and many ideas. It was and is still a great city. It is still known as one of the most tourist attractive places in all of America.

After the Industrial Revolution New York was in need of workers. When immigrants rushed to New York, they kicked out Native American workers and took over. Soon the population grew so much that they had to slow down how many people were allowed in at one time. Many immigrants were paid very little for hours of work, but that little money was what was keeping them alive. The city was starting to expand larger and larger. Soon they were making skyscrapers.

Many immigrants turned to farming and selling on the street. In 1901 there was 25,000 pushcarts full of food on the street daily. Many were selling fruits and vegetables. The thing was to get these fruits and vegetables it had to go over boat from a while away, so not a lot of them were fresh. However there were some close by farms, but most of the farmers were not willing to sell a lot of them because of weather or not enough food growing.

Clothes in the 1900s were very different. On the streets of New York you would see woman wearing plumed hats, and men wearing top hats. Woman would usually wear dresses with a tight bodice and full skirts that touched the floor. Men would wear coats that went to their knees. They would wear these on the street everyday.

While New york expanded population wise they decided to start building attractions to bring more people. For example they built libraries, sight viewing spots and all sorts of things. This actually started to attract tourists. When this started to happen, the mayor of New York decided to make building for people to stay such as hotels.

Political wise many uprisings were happening. People weren’t getting paid enough, not getting a fair salary. When Teddy Roosevelt became president he changed things. He said that he would change how they lived to day. He did change how we live today. Teddy put in attractive things, he put in lots of canals to ship items to other places. Theo also put in a lot of buildings.

In New York City there was very little judges. In the whole city there was about two judges. Many of the problems that were brought to court were usually solved in a different way. Because of the very little court size it was hard to get in court. You weren’t always able to get someone to solve your problems. What I meant by solved in a different way was you sometimes had to solve minor problems yourself.

The military wasn’t the best but New York city was protected. The reason is whoever wanted to attack them would have to go on a long journey to attack them. The one thing they had was a lot of men. That was the only way they could stand and protect themselves and others. They also had the ocean which they were able to use to keep others away.

People became wealthy by going around town and selling things. Lots of these people would sell cheap things for more than they are worth. Some people also opened stores, restaurants and some started to work for upcoming companies that would soon start selling stuff. Once people figured how to make money they would give money to upcoming businesses so that when they rocketed up the investors would make some of the money in the business.

In New York they spoke native language. They soon learned english. A lot of artists left paintings that were being worked on or finished. Every year they would have big parades such as easter parade and Christmas parade. In New York people also left many traditions such as fireworks on Independence Day. They also left many historical marks like the Rockefeller center.

Since so many people were migrated their through Ellis island a lot of new religions and beliefs came into New York. Most of the religions were either Catholic or Christian. When people learned they had free religion in the US they started to move all around the US but most of them stayed in New York city.

When new immigrants came in they were anxious to start their new lives. Some of them were not able to get jobs so they were self employed. A lot of them would become inventors and made great things. Such as basketball. This game became very large in the US once it was made. The battery was also invented during the same time period.

Only about 50% of kids went to school. After a while it was the law to get an education. Many kids were not as bright as they are today because they didn’t have the tools and equipment that we have today. A lot of kids were taught history as that was one of the most known subjects.

Overall New York City was one of the biggest, strongest and smartest cities in the world. It was also a very interesting city. It invented many things that are still around today. It is a great place to day because of what it was like in the 1900s.

If I were the President it would be awesome. The very first thing I would do is make sure that tax paid politicians would receive a lower salary. Why should we have to pay people that don’t work for us? However there would be a limited amount of taxes. We would pay monthly fees that depend on how much you use. The thing that would be different is no one would have to pay for something they didn’t use. For example, if all your children were home schooled you wouldn’t have to pay public school taxes. The city would get paid through working jobs not through governed money. So all government job would be privately owned. Like UPS instead of the US Postal Service.

I’m sure that you are thinking how would you get paid. After my term was over every president would be given place to live with their family. Sure it isn’t fair but not everyone can be president. How does the military get paid through smaller military funds. Congress would be a true statement group which means that they get a check every year depending on how much they did. How would that get paid. By the money that was saved thanks to Congress.

Edison was traveling a lot and was always away from home.

He found many thing interesting. Thomas thought that things need to be easier and more basic than they already are. He started to work on many things that he thought were not as good as they could be. When he opened up his first lab he knew it was going to be hard to work by himself. He decided to hire some people to help him work and create ideas for Thomas to bring to life. One of the many inventions that Edison made was the stock ticker. This was his first major invention.

Thomas opened more labs and started to work even more. Soon wealthier people were coming to him personally and asking for inventions that he made. When he started to make electronic things such as toys and lightbulbs, people were coming to him and asking for him to install these things in their houses. The only problem was the electronic things needed way to get powered so he made a generator that was installed in each house. Soon people were getting bugged with the loud sound that was being made.

Thomas started to make giant generator that would go through the streets and in the houses. In 1883 he invented the vacuum tube. He also invented motion pictures which people soon wanted also. Thomas soon had many rivals that were working on the same thing as him but some how didn’t make it. Thomas soon had rivals that had figured out what he was doing and they started to do the same thing but better. When many people who worked for him realized what he was doing and he was doing it they would quit and go work for themselves.

Thomas was starting to fall under when people didn’t trust him and trusted others. He then thought if he showed others weren’t as safe as his by using against him. Thomas used others electric ideas for things like electric chair and short circuits.

Thomas was one of the best inventors and businessmen. He knew how to fix what problems he was in but he didn’t know how to when he was business trouble. Thomas was how ever a very strong man invention wise. When he died at 84 he had over 1000 patents. He was a great man.
