Americas Food Suply

Purdue is a major processing company in Salisbury, Maryland. This company takes about 6 million dollars worth of takes each year. Nicholas Kristof was the author of "Abusing Chickens We Eat" which was publicated in the New York Times. Kristof was arguing that animals, regardless if they're food or not, should not be treated cruely.

Source Chickens are not in small cages, but they're are thrown
on top of each other.  

The evidence to support his argument was that the animals were being feed hormones when the CEO says that they're being raised humanily.

The farmers stood up against the CEO. The best quote from this article was "doing the right things is things like treating you chickens humanely," said by Jim Perdue. This is ironic because chickens by that company are not treated that way. It is wrong that chickens are treated cruelly, especially because we have laws that are against animal abuse.
The living conditions of 1906 were very terrible. The waste from toilets were thrown straight out of the window. Rats and flies were infested everywhere. None of the workers wore gloves when they were cutting meat. There was feces everywhere. The Meat Inspection Act helped Americans by preventing adulterer and misers dead meat. Meat had to be handled in sanitary environments. This also forced companies to be honest.

Public Education and Inequality

Horace Mann was one of the most influential
person to contribute to bringing education public. 

 The reason that public schools were created was the U.S. depends on science and technology, so it provided training for better jobs. It was key for a stable and prosperous democratic nation. Education provided financial security and social class. This also assimilated millions of immigrants. Some problems with this first public school was that it was only 4 months of school for 8-14 years olds only. The students were also miserable because they were mistreated by their teachers. 

Majority of the students were white. Whites were encouraged
To go to schools. 

Public schools provided child care for parents. It also took kids from working in the factories. Children needed to learn how to read, write, and understand math. 
These schools perpetuated inequality. White and blacks had very different opportunities. 62% of the children attending these schools were white and 34% were black. Europeans were encouraged to learn. These schools also replaced native languages with English.
