Homestead Act (1862) &Chinese Exclusion Act (1882)

The Homestead Act, enacted during the Civil War in 1862, provided that any adult citizen, or intended citizen, who had never borne arms against the U.S. government could claim 160 acres of surveyed government land. Claimants were required to “improve” the plot by building a dwelling and cultivating the land. After 5 years on the land, the original filer was entitled to the property, free and clear, except for a small registration fee. Title could also be acquired after only a 6-month residency and trivial improvements, provided the claimant paid the government $1.25 per acre. After the Civil War, Union soldiers could deduct the time they had served from the residency requirements.
                       
Passed in 1882, the Chinese Exclusion Act prohibited the immigration of Chinese laborers for ten years. The law, which repudiated the 1868 Burlingame Treaty promising free immigration between the United States and China, was one in the succession of laws produced by a national anti-Chinese movement. Limited federal intervention began as early as the 1862 regulation of "coolies"; the Page Law of 1875 purported to prevent As America's first race-based immigration restrictions, the anti-Chinese laws caused the decrease of the Chinese-American population from 105,465 in 1880 to 61,639 in 1920. Chinese were again allowed to immigrate in 1943. The last vestiges of the Asian exclusion laws were repealed in 1965, when racial classifications were removed from the law.

                                                                

"Splendid Little War"

I do agree with that attitude. I agree with Josiah Strong,he was concened about other people.  And all the war going on has nothing to do with the backward peopl. So they should'nt be affected,and left with no home. At least they deserve the blessing of civilization. I do agree with this attitude towards backwards people.

I don't think that newspaper or now telvision can stir up much feeling thst it can create war. Because not everybody believes what they hear on T.V. Or stories in a newspaper.Sometimes they are false information,and the truth might be stretched. So i don't think something like a newspaper or T.V. can just start a war automatically.http://staff.imsa.edu/socsci/jvictory/expansion00/phil_amerwar/tourism/people_phil_costumes.GIF

Japan Tsunami

Japan was hit by one of the largest earthquakes ever recorded on March 11. The magnitude-9.0 quake spawned a deadly tsunami that slammed into the small island nation, leaving a huge swath of devastation in its wake. Thousands of people are dead and many more are still missing or injured; almost half a million people are homeless.
In addition, the country is facing a nuclear crisis that some experts warn may be much worse than the 1979 Three Mile Island disaster.
Japan has often donated when other countries have experienced disasters, such as when Hurricane Katrina impacted the United States.So the united states is putting together ways they can help Japan in their devastating time of need.In the wake of the current nuclear crisis in Japan, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman said Friday that the federal government must conduct a seismic study of the Indian Point nuclear power plant before it renews its operating license.The United States needs to focus more on natural disaster preparedness plans, because it is evident that such plans were able to save lives in the Tsunami that devastated Japan.
