into the war and also caused America to stop trading with Japan. Almost all of the
ships in the harbor were destroyed and a lot of the people were killed during this
time.

Sibley Commision

The sibley commision was put in place to relieve the tension between segregation
and desegregation. This had really helped with the school system and helping
them to make it to where kids didn’t have to walk to a designated school on the
other side of town when there was one next to their house.

Brown V. Board of education

Brown v. The Board of Education was an event that had helped to end all
segregation. The supreme court had ruled that segregation in schools was
unconstitutional and should be gotten rid of. This was also one of the turning
points of the south.

growth to the state. The Olympics had brought more tourists and a greater
population to the state of georgia. It also had caused the GDP of the state to

Leadership Conference). He had followed closely in Dr. Martin Luther King’s
steps. He was an activist and a civil rights leader.

SCLC and SNCC

purpose of the SNCC was to help desegregate places and so black people did
sit-ins. Sit ins are where a person or people go to a place and don’t leave until
their demands are met.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt

FDR was the president of the united states and had served 4 terms. He would
frequently visit Warm Springs for his disease polio

Rural Free Delivery Act

The rural free delivery act was an interesting act that had made farmers have the
ability to have their mail droven to them instead of having to go down to the city
just to pick up mail.

Civilian conservation corps

The CCC was created after the great depression to give young men jobs and the
ability to help with the community. These people would plant trees, build houses,
bridges, and help build factories.

Social Security Administration

The SSA had been created to help people who were over the age 65 to be able to
get insurance. This act had also helped with people who were veterans and had
only one leg, well the SSA also has disabled people as well.

Rural Electricity Act

The REA was created by FDR to allow electricity to the people who lived in the
rural areas. This had made it easier in the field and around the farm. The farmer
could milk a cow with a machine instead of doing it by hand. A farmer could plow
more crops in a day with a machine rather than going around with a basket and
picking them by hand.

Agricultural Adjustment act

FDR made the AAA act to allow the farmers who had overproduced on goods, to
be able to sell those crops at a lower price and still get money back from it. THese
farmers had overproduced on goods because this was during the world war and it
had caused the farmers to overestimate the amount of crops at which they were
producing.

Jim Crow Laws

Jim Crow Laws were put in place so that white people didn’t have to face the fact
that black people were free. So they decided to put laws stating that these black
people couldn’t vote, be in the same room as a white person, and it just
segregated these people in general.

conclusion

I mean what would you want me to say?
It’s the conclusion. There is nothing to say because it’s the end, and the end
means nothing left.

Soooo the end?
