2. What is Historiography?
To put it simply, historiography is the study of historical writing.
Coming from the Greek words historia (history) and graphia (writing) and culminating into the word historiography in the mid- 16th Century.
What is Historiography?

3. “Historiography, for those unfamiliar with the term, essentially means “the history of history.” What have past historians said and written about a given topic? How have historians’ interpretation of a topic changed over time? Where and what are the disagreements between historians, and why are they disagreeing in the first place?”
“Historiography is important for all historians–regardless of the audience they are addressing—because it offers a level of transparency that allows others to see where you are getting your information from.”
Why is it important?

4. Jim Crow laws were state and local laws enforcing racial segregation in the Southern United States.
Enacted after the Reconstruction period, these laws continued in force until 1965.
These laws forced the African-Americans to be at the lowest end of the socioeconomic status for nearly a century.

6. The Persecution of Native Americans
“In 1830, the federal Indian Removal Act called for the removal of the ‘Five Civilized Tribes’ – the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek and Seminole.”
“Between 1830 and 1838, federal officials working on behalf of white cotton growers forced nearly 100,000 Indians out of their homeland.”
“The dangerous journey from the southern states to “Indian Territory” in current Oklahoma is referred to as the Trail of Tears in which 4,000 Cherokee people died of cold, hunger, and disease.”

8. Florida and the United States
Florida has long been fought over, whether it be Europeans vs Europeans or Europeans vs Natives or Colonists vs Natives.
On March 3rd, 1845 Florida became the 27th state.
“The state legislature voted to hold a statewide election on December 22 for the selection of delegates to a convention that would meet in Tallahassee beginning on January 3, 1861, to decide whether Florida should secede. ... There are sixty-five signatures on the Ordinance of Secession.”
Florida’s secession helped to fuel the chaos that was the Civil War, which forever changed the United States’ history, losing hundreds of thousands of lives, but also gaining new technologies that we later used in other conflicts and in every day life.

10. Civil Rights Movements
In the early 1900s, women fought for suffrage and achieved it with the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920.
African-Americans have been struggling for equality for a long time, and although the 13th and 14th Amendments tried to help, they didn’t quite achieve what the African-Americans wanted until the Voting Rights Act of 1965 was passed.
“The civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s inspired Latinos, Native Americans, Asian Americans, women, and, more recently, people with disabilities and gay and lesbian people. The African American civil rights struggle provided not only the vision of equal opportunity, but also many of the tools and techniques for the movements that followed, including the use of the law, lobbying, and nonviolent direct action.”
