Post #13: It Affected All of Us

Everything happens for a reason. But what could be the reason for killing hundreds of innocent people on a regular day in the middle of the week? What could be the reason for ruining families, destroying lives and causing mayhem throughout the world, even 5 years after the incident?

September 11th, 2001 was a Tuesday. I was 11 years old at the time and in 7th grade, attending school in the Russian Embassy in Washington DC. Everyone in the Emabassy lived on the its grounds except me. I had a special right to attend school there, but it was agreed that I would go straight home every single day right after school. This day was no different.

My class and I were walking into the main building from art class when we heard announcements throughout the Embassy that a plane had crashed in New York and something was happening at the Pentagon.

The school closed, everyone went back home and I was practically forced out of the Embassy onto the street. My first thought was about my dad, whom I hoped nothing had happened to, as he worked near the Pentagon. My second thought was for myself. 11 years old, in the middle of a big city with no money and no way to get home. Wherever I turned, people were running, screaming; the city was just in general chaos.

I somehow got to the bridge that separates Virginia from Washington DC. To get over it, you needed to show some ID which, being 11, I did not have, so I was not allowed to cross. I remember seeing the smoke billowing to my left, the sound of helicopters, ambulances, fire trucks. What frightened me most was the complete and utter lack of order. A city which usually looks perfect, people who look in control of themselves and their emotions; everything was in dissaray. There was noone to turn to, noone to help me. I remember standing on the corner of M street and  Key bridge, crying, not becasue I was frightened of what was happening, but becausue I did not know what was happening. I kept hearing the words "terrorist" and "terrorism" and I remember having a fleeting thought that I was going to die.

I could not reach any of my relatives, as cell phones were not working. I did not know if they were dead, if they were trapped somewhere, if they were thinking something had happened to me.

In those few hours of sitting on that street corner, I saw America unravelling before my eyes. The sense of safety and security that had wrapped America and its citizens for years and years had disappearerd, leaving in its wake disruption and chaos. I remember thinking that it was not only the terrorist attacks that had shaken the country. Not the actual attacks, but the fact that they had happened to the USA. The country many had fled to from Europe, from all over the world to find safety and a better life.

I remember thinking "What country is safe, if not America?". "Why do they hate us so much?". I did not know who "they" were, but it seemed a good idea to blame others for what had happened. I do not think people even stopped to think that they might have been at fault for what had happened. The only things everyone saw and heard were the blatantly obvious facts: "they" had attacked us, therefore "they" were at fault. Noone thought about what had caused these attacks, noone was worried about it then.

I finally got home at night, and everybody in my family was, thankfully, fine. As soon as I walked through the door I was enveloped in arms and hugs from people I did not even know, and I noticed that a lot of our neighbors had come to our house to wait for me and to make sure my parents were all right. That was when I noticed that this tragedy cause so much pain and suffering, but that it also brought people together.

For weeks after September 11th the mood in Washington DC was different than usual. People were friendlier, everyone did not seem to be in such a rush as usual. I believe that everyone has gained something from living through the terrosrist attacks of September 11th. Everybody has gained a new sense of living life to its fullest, of not wasting a second of it.

Now, 5 years later, most people do not think about this attack. Those for whom it is hardest are undoubtdly the ones that had lost someone close that Tuesday. For the rest of us, we feel as though it happened, it is done, no use thinking about it. But every day we receive news of what is happening in the Middle East, of all who die to protect America and all of its citizens. These soldiers will never be forgotten. The cause for which they are fighting will always be remembered.

Post #12: Wall Street

In 1980 Reagan was sworn in as president and brought a message to the United States, “It is time to reawaken the industrial giant, to get government back within its means, and to lighten our punitive tax burden,” he announced this on inauguration day. [1] The 80’s were a turning point economically in the country, but to reawaken the industrial giant there would be losses to the poor and lower middle class because of policy changes and the tax cuts. [2] As displayed in the movie Wall Street, greed can be a nasty thing and if one wants too much then they must take from someone else.

The movie Wall Street is about a life of a young investment banker during the mid 80’s named Bud Fox (played by Charlie Sheen). Bud is willing to do whatever it takes to become rich and successful even if it means riding on the coattails of a notorious stock market shark, Gordon Gekko (played by Michael Douglas). Smooth talking Gekko for lack of better wording could sell a lifetime supply of candy to a diabetic. He gets Bud hook, line, and sinker doing illegal things to help him (Gekko) make money until Gekko’s geed and lust for money catches up to him and turns Bud against him.

The scene shown above is in our eyes the turning point of the corruption of Bud Fox. Gekko, as seen above, is dressed in a black suit and black tie with wet slicked back hair can be easily seen as the evil yet he uses his lies to persuade the stockholders to put faith in him while in actuality he does not care about the stockholders at all. Up until this part of the movie Bud has been seen with somewhat sub par suits and plainly combed hair. Although Bud is seen like this in this scene, it should be noted that for the rest of the movie until the very end he becomes somewhat of a Gordon Gekko protégé with fancy suits and slicked back hair. Gekko’s greed for money was passed on to Bud where the lust for more and more ultimately found its limits.

This scene alone is a perfect summary of the economic conditions during this period of time. The rich got richer and the poor sank lower and lower into poverty. By the end of Regan’s second term more jobs were created, but the jobs were used for the wealthy people rather than the poor. [3] Gekko’s theory of geed is good is somewhat true but only for those greedy enough to do what it took at all costs to make money while honest people lost money hand over fist. Greed is like a plague that swallows everyone around it. If greedy people get rich, then people see that and become greedy as well trying to be as rich as them and the cycle just repeats itself. More than likely there will never be an end to greed in the world. In the words of Mahatma Gandhi “The Earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s need, but not every man’s greed.”[4]

#11: Top Tens of 1970

Evidence of the worlds history has been written into song and acted out in movies for as long as either one has existed. Song writers and directors create memories of historic things that came to pass in the works which they create. It has also allowed them to express their true feelings towards certain situations in time and to perhaps swing the opinions of those who view or listen to their works. Regardless of the intentions, movies and songs have left footprints of historic events in the sands of time that will never wash away.

During the 1970’s America was in the midst of the Vietnam War. It was expected that music and film created during this time would relate to tragedy and loss in the lyrics as well as on the movie screen, however, during this time period the United States had a new generation of people, hippies. The hippies brought new developments to music and film genre, such as sex, drugs, and protest. Musicians and writers used what was around them as sources of inspiration. It was natural to see the facts of the time period in the films and music on the top ten of 1970. 

Most of these films and songs can be categorized by genre; they are descriptions of sexploitation, loss, love, and the music from the hippie generation. One of the top movies that linked to the Vietnam War was Airport.  In this movie there was a lot of destruction and bombs, which goes along with warfare aspect from Vietnam.  B.J Thomas’, “Raindrops are Falling on My Head,” is one of the top music songs for the 1970’s.  In the song it mentions that bad things are going to happen, but everything is in the world is going to turn out alright. Another top hit that goes along with B.J. Thomas’ song is “Everything is Beautiful” by Ray Stevens.  In this song, Ray Stevens makes it seem that nothing is wrong in the world and everything is going to be fine.  Those are just a few of the songs and movies that were related to the Vietnam War. For example, the movie MASH was created to be about Vietnam, but was placed during the Korean War in the film. Some of the music from the year also relates to the Vietnam War as in the song “Thank You for Being My Friend” by Sly and the Family Stone, with lyrics relating to war in Vietnam. In this song the evidence of the war in Vietnam is seen in the lyrics of the first part of the song, “Lookin’ at the devil, Grinnin’ at his gun. Fingers start shakin’ ,I begin to run. Bullets start chasin’ ,I begin to stop. We begin to wrestle, I was on the top.”[1] Some of the other top hits include Chariots of the Gods, Joe, Chisum, and “I Want You Back” by Jackson 5.

The top box office grossing movie of 1970 was Love Story .This movie is about a girl who has been diagnosed with a fatal disease and was not going to recover from it. She also will not see her boyfriend again. This film can be linked to many songs of the 1970s with the same message or feeling. For example, The Beatles’ “The Long and Winding Road”:

And still they lead me back to the long and winding road
You left me standing here a long, long time ago
Don’t leave me waiting here, lead me to your door,[2]

or Simon and Garfunkel’s “Bridge over Troubled Water” both about love and being by the side of your loved one.  In the songs “Venus” by Shocking Blue and “American Woman” by Guess Who the lyrics are both about women.  In the song “Venus,” part of the song says “her weapon was her crystal eyes” and in “American Woman” a part of the song says “come sparkle someone else’s eyes.”  These two top hits of the 1970’s are opposites of each other.  Another top song that had to do with love and woman in the 1970’s was “ABC” by Jackson 5.  Since sex was part of the 1970’s era, the first ever porn made the top ten movies, Ann and Eve.

With the hippie generation came more freedom of expression and movies called sexploitation movies like Beyond the Valley of the Dolls and Myra Breckinridge. They allowed freedom of sexual expression that movies of previous times did not allow. One of the most influential movies to come out of this genre was the movie Woodstock. It was a musical film, which documented the music festival Woodstock which was held in Bethel, New York in 1969. [3]

Even today events of the present affect the movies and music that come out on the billboard charts. Inspiration knows no bounds and people can’t sit by blindly to what is around them. In 1970 what was affecting the country at that moment came out in music and on screen.

Post #6: We, the jury.

The trial of State vs. Rehberg was a documented murder trial in 1885. A man by the name of Edward Rehberg was being accused of beating his young daughter Clara Rehberg to death. There are facts, however, that came into consideration because in the trial itself the testimonies of the witnesses of that day were mostly females and female children. Also, social class came into consideration. On one hand, there was a doctor’s testimony and on the other hand, there were testimonies of the other witnesses in the lower social class. A 19th century jury would more likely take into consideration what the higher class said than the people of the lower class. The importance of gender, age, and social class in court cases in the 19th century vary greatly and can produce differing decisions in reviewing major cases.

It was said by some female members of the family that Edward Rehberg had an alibi for the day he was accused of beating his daughter. It was said by Emma and Bertha Rehberg that Edward Rehberg had an alibi for the day he was accused of beating his daughter.[1] Most of the testimonies of the family members put him at the time of the alleged beating at the haystacks.[2] He could still be guilty by default in a 19th century court room due to evidence that he was a male and a woman could never have done this because women had a “socially defined role as guardians of morality.”[3]

In the declaration of death by Clara Rehberg, it stated that her stepmother Louisa should in fact be the person in question for brutalizing her. A 19th Century jury might not take Clara’s confession into account however due to the fact that she is just a child. According to Mr. E.D. Weed who wrote the testimony, “She seemed to be an intelligent child of about the age of eight or nine years. I think that if the child had received any sort of moral education or training whatever, she would be received as a reliable witness in any Court of Justice.” [4] Another factor must also be taken into consideration. At the time of the declaration, Clara Rehberg was in such pain that may not have been thinking clearly. Since Clara had been beaten, the doctor had most likely given her drugs to dull the pain, and she was aware of the fact that she was going to die. Any person in her situation would be too distressed to relay the exact happening of the events; especially, for an eight or nine year old child this may have been even more difficult. Clara might also have been protecting her father, since Louisa was her stepmother and may not have been of as much importance to her as her father.

Based on that the only other person that could have been responsible for the beating of Clara was Louisa and she was discredited due to the fact of being a woman and not able in the 19th century minds to wrap around the fact that she could beat a child to death. The jury based on the evidence would convict Edward Rehberg guilty.

In the 20th century Louisa would not be discredited and social standing and Clara not being “well read” would not be as much as a problem in a court of law and her testimony would in fact be taken seriously into account. Edward Rehberg in a 20th century court of law would be found not guilty based on the evidence of having an alibi and also the death bed testimony of Clara witnessing Louisa beat her which lead to her death.

In the case State v.s. Rehberg, we the jury find the defendant, Edward Rehberg, guilty of second degree murder in the 19th century and we the jury find the defendant, Edward Rehberg, not guilty in the 20th century.

Post #5: Barrow's Plantation

Post # 5: Barrow's Plantation

Over the years, the map of Barrow’s plantation has appeared in many textbooks, it portrays how a southern plantation evolved over time. The plantation first appeared in Scriber’s Monthly: An Illustrated Magazine for the People, Volume 21, Issue 5, in March of 1881.  From recent satellite images you can see that Barrow’s plantation has not changed much since the Reconstruction. It has been able to keep the same shape for more than 186 years.  To this day Barrow's plantation is still operating and providing cotton for society.  From the aerial view of Barrow's plantation it is hard to tell, but Pope Barrow's house is still located on the plantation, however we can not tell if the other cabins are still there.

Barrow’s plantation is hard to locate. We had to start by finding information and maps about the county in which it is located, Oglethorpe County. From there we found that Barrow’s plantation is located off of Route 22, between Philomath, Georgia and Maxey's, Georgia. The plantations closest edge is located approximately 1.2 miles SW of Philomath and the farthest edge is about 2.25 miles SW of Philomath. We were unable to find the exact coordinates of Barrow’s Plantation, but we found the coordinates for Philomath, which is latitude 33.724162 and longitude -82.762010 

The map in the textbooks, however, has some errors in it, the major error being its orientation. Having consulted many sources, mainly by looking at the position of the rivers, one can see that barrows plantation is not positioned correctly. Although this is the major error, there are other small ones as well. For example, there is no compass on the original map, so one cannot determine which is north. There is no scale, which every map must have.

The plantation seems to have increased in size, but the most compelling thing about it is that it is actually used and that it actually still exists. Although it has increased its size, for the most part the geographical layout coincides with the older maps. However, one is not able to see any houses with our current resources.

http://hist120miner.typepad.com/photos/barrows_plantation_photos/index.html This album includes the pictures associated with Barrow’s Plantation. The first picture is a satellite aerial view of the plantation. The next one is of the slave cabin located on the plantation. This photo was taken in 1899. The photo shows a slave cabin located on Pope Barrow's Plantation. The next picture related to the plantation is a picture of African-American children picking cotton in front of Pope Barrow's home. The Barrow's plantation was known for cotton production. The third photo associated with the plantation is a picture of Pope Barrow’s house, Pope Barrow's house is located between Athens and Lexington, Georgia and was built in 1820. And finally , the last photo is an aerial view of the plantation  with its boundaries outlined. As you can see in this picture the  boundaries are almost exactly the same as it was when the plantation first started.

Satellite images of the area show that the physiographic area of the plantation has not changed very much.  The Master’s house seems to be located in the same place, the Gin house seems to have moved. If you look back at the photo of the slave cabin it shows that it has been moved because it does not seem to have a permanent foundation. Most of these changes came about after the Reconstruction since the Barrow’s sold small plots of land to non-relatives. The smaller houses may have changed locations as well. Many changes occurred over the history the almost 200 year history of Barrow’s plantation, nevertheless, the most astounding fact is that the plantation still exists and is still being used.

Post #4: The end of a beautiful culture.

George Catlin, an artist who traveled West during the 1830-1850s, depicted Native Americans and their ways of life in his paintings. He understood that the westward expansion of white people was forcing the Indians to leave their homes and travel even farther out west. Although he had respect for them and their culture, in his painting called “Pigeon’s Egg Head” we can see that he though Native Americans were far too impressionable, they had outlandish tastes and were too easily influenced by the colonials.

Between 1830 and 1850, many changes occurred in the economy of America. The most important by far is the transportation revolution, and the construction of railroads, which allowed the colonials to progress much farther West than they had been able to using only rivers and channels. Since the major rivers, the ones that were used for transportation and trading, were located on the East coast, the colonials limited their expansion to only that part of America. But with the construction of railroads, they were able to go farther out West much faster, and during any time of the year. As this was very convenient for them, many people began going West and forcing the Indians to leave. This is called The Trail of Tears.

Some Indians thought they could prevent removal by "… advocating a program of accommodating by adopting white ways”¹. But this did not always work.

In George Catlin’s painting, “Pigeon’s Egg Head”, we see an Indian chief heading towards Washington, dressed in all of his finery. He stands tall and erect; obviously he is greatly respected among his tribe. He has ornate leggings, a large feather headdress and very intricate details on the rest of his clothes. This man is proud of being Native American; he has not yet been influenced by the ways of the settlers. In the background of the left side of the painting, we can see the Capitol, so we can assume he is going to Washington, and we can predict that some kind of change is going to happen to him.

The right side of the painting seems like it was drawn separately from the first. Even the colors of the sky and grass are darker. But the first thing that draws our attention is the great change that has taken over Pigeon’s Egg Head. He is now dressed as the white people dress, but by trying so hard to be like them, he ended up looking ridiculous, wearing "a full set of regimentals...trimmed with lace gold"². He is wearing an extremely bright and wide sash, he is holding and umbrella, the shoulders of his military jacket are adorned with golden epaulets, he has a bright red tall feather in his hat, he is holding an umbrella and a fan, and he is smoking a cigar. He also has two bottles of alcohol in his pockets. We can also see how different his stance is. It is cocky, arrogant, and it seems as though he is trying to draw attention to himself. Once a proud, respected leader of his tribe, he is now merely a puppet of the colonials, he has lost all of his stature.

This painting shows the influence white people had on Native Americans. No matter what they did, they knew they would never be accepted completely into both cultures. Taking on the colonials’ way of life would have meant estrangement from the other Native Americans, and continuing their Native American way of life would have meant being banished by the white people. Either way, what was happening in the 1830s through the 1850s, namely the Trail of Tears, was bound to happen sometime. It is not possible for such different people to live together in harmony, which is extremely disappointing.
