11/10/2023

Historians, like detectives, use clues to understand past events and interpret findings to determine what happened. Irish historian Tom Reilly spent 30 years trying to rehabilitate Oliver Cromwell's image, challenging historical narratives. Historians and detectives gather evidence, evaluate sources, and shape our understanding of the past.

Fashion in the 1880s marked societal changes, with new materials and designers like Charles Frederick Worth and Paul Poiret transforming it into cultural expression. Arab immigrants in the 1880s influenced American society through agriculture, trade, culture, and arts.

President James A. Garfield's assassination in 1881 prompted discussions about mental health and presidential security, leading to changes in the succession process—Clara Barton's creation of the American Red Cross in 1881 showcased humanitarianism's growth and global impact.

The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 aimed to keep Chinese immigrants out, impacting Chinese Americans and shaping the Asian American identity. Understanding this history is crucial to addressing discrimination and unity among immigrant communities.
