The Assassination of President Garfield- Megan Gelico
media type="custom" key="11724360" align="center"

The assassination of President Garfield was a very historic part during the 1880's. Garfield's inauguration took place on March 4, 1881. During his presidency, he was able to make historic contributions. Shortly after being elected, he was approached by many men seeking jobs and positions in office. One man that was very persistent even though the Administration, along with Garfield said no, was Charles Guiteau. President Garfield had denied appointment to Guiteau as U.S. Consul to Paris. This made Guiteau very angry, depressed, and insane. Guiteau suffers from many different serious mental illnesses. On July 2, 1881 at about 9:26 a.m., while President Garfield was walking around the Washington D.C. railroad awaiting to board a train, he was shot with two shots; one to the arm and one to the lower back. Guiteau was soon arrested by the police. President Garfield did not die quickly after the shots, but rather 80 days after. He went through a lot of different medical treatments. Guiteau was tried and found guilty. He was sentenced to be hanged to death and the crowd had applauded this decision.

Clarissa Harlowe Barton’s achievement of creating the American Red Cross in 1881 was a very significantmoment in history. She founded many committees and organizations, saved lives, and was a great friend to soldiers and their families. Her main goal in life was to help people and she, without a doubt, reached that goal. It all started whenshe began helping soldiers during the American Civil War. She provided them with food, shelter, clothes, medicine, and love. The next big step was traveling to Switzerland and learning about the International Red Cross, which inspired her to bring the idea to America. She got her message known and then proposed the Red Cross Treaty. When it was approved she led the American Red Cross for 23 years, and resigned at 83 years ol After her work for Red Cross, she established another organization called the National First Aid Society.

**Haymarket Riot - Aleeza David **
media type="custom" key="11523988" align="center"

The Haymarket Riot was a very important event that changed the future of how workers would be treated. The events main cause is that workers were tired of long 10-hour days at work everyday. Which caused them to strike like any workers will do when they are not happy with what is going on. Although change of events happened when a simple strike turned into 6 people getting killed by policemen. This caused the workers to want revenge on the policeman, so they gathered up people from everywhere and called fort a meeting at the Haymarket Square in Chicago. This is where the police met up with them after hearing of the gathering; one person in the crowd threw a bomb into the crowd of police. Then a fight began, many were injured and some died from both sides of the parties. This caused 8 people accused and given sentences for their actions, even though the bomber was never found. The events of the Haymarket Riot, is the reason why we have 8-hour work days now, and labor day. We can all reflect on the Haymarket Riot, as a protest for what they believe in, is something even people now fight for. There are still strikes about work even in this century, which shows our relations to the 1880s.

**Presidential Election- Elisha Viloria **
media type="custom" key="11583388" height="19" align="center"

The 1888 Presidential Election was one of the most controversial elections. The candidate with most popular votes did not win. It was held in November 6, 1888. Democrat Grover Cleveland and Republican Benjamin Harrison were running against each other. Although Cleveland won the popular vote, Harrison won the electoral vote. There were two main issues in the election. The first issue was the tariff issue. Cleveland felt that the high tariff was unnecessary and wanted to reduce it, but Harrison and the Republicans favored the high tariff, saying it was to protect the American industry. Another issue was when Senator Matthew Quay bought electoral votes for Harrison. He knew Harrison could win with a little help, and he knew how to help him. Another issue was the free trade policy. Although Harrison won the election, his presidency was ineffective. Cleveland was also elected to serve the next term. He was the only president to serve two terms non-consecutively.

**Johnstown Flood-Kate Nguyen **
media type="custom" key="11540730" align="center"

The Johnstown flood that occurred in Pennsylvania in 1889 caused a drastic change in both the environment of Johnstown and the people's mentalities. This flood was the biggest and most devastating flood in Johnstown, mainly because no one really saw it coming and was not prepared for what it had in store. In the duration of the flood, many husbands and wives were left widows and kids parent-less. While trying to recover in this time of need, Clara Barton, the founder and main leader of the Red Cross, stepped in and attempted to help relieve the pain that this terrible flood has caused.

The Daws Act-Chris Torres
media type="custom" key="11713582" align="center"

The Dawes act was the first time in history in which the government took away all the land of the Native Americans, and regulated their lives. It came from the people's perspective that the Native Americans no longer belonged in the U.S. because of the now newly implemented government put into place. By newly implemented government I mean that after the U.S. beat the British, the U.S. officially owned the territory that the Natives already occupied. The citizens figured because the land no longer belongs to the Natives, that the government has full authority and right to take it away. It was even accepted by the Articles of the constitution. In Article 1 section 8 clause 3 it says that congress can regulate commerce in Indian tribes. This period of time in some ways set the precedent for sectionalism later on in history.

= Music Video =

media type="youtube" key="jQeIhn1-U54" height="315" width="560" align="center"

We chose the song "Uncloudy Day" because it was a song from the 1880s that related to Manifest Destiny. This song talks about how the people hear of a perfect land/home that has no storms, clouds, or tears. Instead, that place is filled with joy, laughter, friends, and smiles. The pictures featured in this video show important music, art, literature, inventions, and people that made a great impact on the world. A few of these things include the beginning of the car, the first portable kodak camera, the first electric fan and clothes iron, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Clara Barton, Benjamin Harrison, and so much more. Enjoy!

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The earliest electric fans made their appearance in the 1880s. It was a blade attached to an electric motor and made out of brass. The blades were adapted from the windmill. Most of the time, resistance wire was used and the light bulb was used as resistance. These early fans were a novelty or an expensive appliance used in large offices or wealthy homes. The ceiling fan was also patented in 1887 by Phillip H. Diehl.
