TOP PODS – Psychopath In Your Life BOOK *FREE* Download – Psychopath In Your Life Agha Mohammad Khan Qajar (Persian: آقامحمدخان قاجار, romanized: Âqâ Mohammad Xân-e Qâjâr; 14 March 1742 – 17 June 1797), also known by his regnal name of Agha Mohammad Shah (آقا محمد شاه, Âghâ Mohammad Šâh), was the founder of the Qajar dynasty of Iran, ruling from 1789 to 1797 as Shah. Originally a chieftain of the Quwanlu branch of the Qajar tribe, Agha Mohammad Khan was enthroned as the king of Iran in 1789, but was not officially crowned until March 1796, having deposed Lotf Ali Khan of the Zand dynasty in 1794. Agha Mohammad Khan Qajar was famously the eunuch Monarch, being castrated as a toddler upon his capture by Adel Shah Afshar, and hence was childless. He was assassinated on 17 June 1797, and was succeeded by his nephew, Fath-Ali Shah Qajar. The Home for Little Wanderers is a private non-profit child and family service agency in Massachusetts, US. Founded as an orphanage in 1799, it is the oldest agency of its kind in the US. Today, the home plays a role in delivering services to thousands of children and families each year through a system of residential, community-based and prevention programs, direct care services and advocacy. In 1808, a free-standing medical facility was built nearby for the humane treatment of the mentally ill, and in 1821 a larger facility called the Bloomingdale Asylum was built in what is now the Upper West Side. Around 1830, the number of homeless children in large Eastern cities such as New York City exploded. In 1850, there were an estimated 10,000 to 30,000 homeless children in New York City. At the time, New York City's population was only 500,000. Some children were orphaned when their parents died in epidemics of typhoid, yellow fever or the flu. Others were abandoned due to poverty, illness, or addiction. Many children sold matches, rags, or newspapers to survive. For protection against street violence, they banded together and formed gangs. Most historians credit newspaper editor John O'Sullivan with coining the term manifest destiny in 1845. However, other historians suggest the unsigned editorial titled “Annexation” in which it first appeared was written by journalist and annexation advocate Jane Cazneau. Circassian immigration into the Ottoman Empire began in 1850 and accelerated into a mass migration starting in 1864. There was an earlier Circassian presence in the Middle East, through the Mamluk “slave-dynasties” in Egypt, whose descendants, augmented by continued individual migration, came to form a Turco-Circassian elite ruling class in Egypt. This presence, although an entirely different phenomenon than the later mass migrations, points to important historical links between the Caucasus and various regional empires to which it provided slaves (both men and women) and warriors. In 1853, a young minister named Charles Loring Brace became concerned with the plight of street children (often known as “street Arabs”). The orphan trains operated between 1854 and 1929, relocating from about 200,000 children. The co-founders of the Orphan Train movement claimed that these children were orphaned, abandoned. Jim Crow Timeline 1857 This landmark decision from the Supreme Court ruled that African Americans were not permitted to be United States citizens. With this conclusion, African Americans had no standing to sue in federal courts. 1865 After the civil war, these laws intended to restrict the autonomy of African Americans in order to force them to work in a labor economy. 1875 Booker T. Washington, a slave from Virginia, graduated with honors from the Hampton Institute, a black vocational school. He went on to make a difference in the lives of many black people. 1877 In order to gain electoral support from the southern states, the government withdrew the last federal troops from the South. The conservative, white Democrats legislated Jim Crow Laws, separate the white and black races. Etymology The earliest known use of the phrase “Jim Crow law” can be dated to 1884 in a newspaper article summarizing congressional debate.[14] The term appears in 1892 in the title of a New York Times article about Louisiana requiring segregated railroad cars. The origin of the phrase “Jim Crow” has often been attributed to “Jump Jim Crow“, a song-and-dance caricature of black people performed by white actor Thomas D. Rice in blackface, first performed in 1828. As a result of Rice's fame, Jim Crow had become by 1838 a pejorative expression meaning “Negro”. When southern legislatures passed laws of racial segregation directed against African Americans at the end of the 19th century, these statutes became known as Jim Crow laws The American Civil War (April 12, 1861 – May 26, 1865; also known by other names) was a civil war in the United States between the Union (“the North”)… The Thirteenth Amendment (Amendment XIII) to the United States Constitution abolished slavery and involuntary servitude, except as punishment for a crime. It was passed by the Senate on April 8, 1864, by the House of Representatives on January 31, 1865, ratified by the required 27 of the then 36 states on December 6, 1865, and proclaimed by Secretary of State William H. Seward on December 18. It was the first of the three Reconstruction Amendments adopted following the American Civil War,the other two being the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. Ku Klux Klan First Klan: 1865–1872 · The Children's Aid Society's sent an average of 3,000 children via train each year from 1855 to 1875. Orphan trains were sent to 45 states, as well as Canada and Mexico. During the early years, Indiana received the largest number of children.[6] At the beginning of the Children's Aid Society orphan train program, children were not sent to the southern states, as Brace was an ardent abolitionist.[12] By the 1870s, the New York Foundling Hospital and the New England Home for Little Wanderers in Boston had orphan train programs of their own. Following the mass expulsion of the native Circassians of the northwest Caucasus in 1864, some of them also migrated to Qajar Iran, where some of these deportees from after 1864 rose to various high ranks The New York Foundling Hospital was established in 1869 by Sister Mary Irene Fitzgibbon of the Sisters of Charity of New York as a shelter for abandoned infants. The Sisters worked in conjunction with Priests throughout the Midwest and South to place these children in Catholic families. The Foundling Hospital sent infants and toddlers to prearranged Roman Catholic homes from 1875 to 1914. Parishioners in the destination regions were asked to accept children, and parish priests provided applications to approved families. This practice was first known as the “Baby Train,” then later the “Mercy Train.” By the 1910s, 1,000 children a year were placed with new families. A large number of Circassians began arriving in the Levant in the 1860s and 1870 Because ‘white’ has always been a fluid definition and, for census purposes, tanned Mediterranean Christians from countries like Lebanon and Egypt have been considered “white” for a while now so the definition was expanded to encompass neighboring countries. Because they are. I live in an area with many Orthodox Christian people whose ancestors are from Syria/Lebanon/Palestine, etc. I also know several first-generation immigrants from the same area who are of the Islam religion. They are racially indistinguishable from Europeans, and certainly you cannot “tell” they are not defended from people from places like Italy or Greece. And most of these people are highly offended when someone suggests they are not white, both the Christians and the Muslims. Jesus is not described in the Bible, but the Koran specifically says Mohammad, who was an Arab, was “white”. Until 1952, whiteness was a legal category. If you were not white, you could not become a naturalized citizen of the USA, you could only be one by birth. Arab peoples were able to gain acceptance as white people, and therefore could become citizens. In Dow v US, a Syrian was able to claim status as a white person, and so MENA peoples are today considered white legally. The United States census is a constitutionally mandated event that takes place every ten years. It has a rich history, but there have been some notable issues and controversies associated with specific census years: 1850s: During this period, census planners suppressed information about slavery due to pressure from Southern lawmakers1. In 1896—only 6 years after the census—a fire damaged many 1890 special schedules, including those pertaining to mortality, “Crime, Pauperism, and Benevolence,” and “the Insane, Feeble-Minded, Deaf and Dumb, and Blind.” The damaged records were destroyed. Years passed, and 3 additional U.S. censuses were taken: 1900, 1910 and 1920. 1920: The results of the 1920 census were ignored, and no reapportionment took place. Rural lawmakers feared losing power to urban areas. 1940s: Census officials were involved in organizing Japanese-American internment during World War II. Despite these challenges, the census remains a critical tool for understanding the U.S. population, allocating representation in Congress, and distributing federal funds to local communities. The most recent national census took place in 2020, and the next one is scheduled for 2030. In recent years, efforts have been made to improve data collection methods, including using technology to aid in data collection. However, the accuracy and quality of the census continue to be important considerations for policymakers and researchers. The Circassians (also known as Cherkess or Adyghe) are a Northwest Caucasian ethnic group and nation. Their origins lie in Circassia, a region that once occupied the northwestern part of the Caucasus. Here’s a glimpse into their history: Ancient Times: Although no Greek colonies were established directly in Circassia, the Greeks engaged in extensive trade along the Circassian coast of the Black Sea. Their influence on the region is evident1. In 1200 BC, Circassians fought alongside the Hittites against the Egyptians2. Subsequent Influences and Control: The Circassian region experienced successive influences or outright control by various powers: Romans Khazars Mongols Crimean Tatars Turks Russians The area remained autonomous until the 12th and 13th centuries when Georgian princes reduced it to a province. During the mid-16th century and later in the 17th century, Caucasian rulers sought Russian assistance against Persian and Turkish invasions. By 1785, the northern Caucasus had become a Russian province. Circassian Genocide and Diaspora: In the 19th century, during the Russo-Circassian War, the Russian Empire perpetrated the Circassian genocide. As a result, most Circassians were exiled from their ancestral homeland. They began living in what was then the Ottoman Empire (modern-day Turkey and the Middle East). The Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization estimated that there are as many as 3.7 million Circassians in diaspora across over 50 countries. Current Distribution: Adyghians (Circassians proper or Lower Circassians) number about 165,000 and live mostly in the republics of Adygea and Karachay-Cherkessia in Russia. Kabardians (Upper Circassians) number about 345,000 and live mostly in the republic of Kabardino-Balkaria, Russia. Circassian communities also exist in Anatolian Turkey, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, and Iran. relating to or denoting a group of mainly Sunni Muslim peoples of the northwestern Caucasus The United States has a racially and ethnically diverse population. At the federal level, race and ethnicity have been categorized separately. The most recent United States census recognized five racial categories (White, Black, Native American/Alaska Native, Asian, and Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander), as well as people who belong to two or more of the racial categories. The United States also recognizes the broader notion of ethnicity. The 2000 census and 2010 American Community Survey inquired about the “ancestry” of residents, while the 2020 census allowed people to enter their “origins”. The Census Bureau also classified respondents as either Hispanic or Latino, identifying as an ethnicity, which comprises the minority group in the nation. Are Census numbers accurate? The Census undercounts low-income people, children and minorities. But the Census is still one of the most important sources for data when you want to convince a funder about the need for your nonprofit's services. Nov. 26, 2001 | The U.S. Census counted 281,000,000 people in 2000. To accomplish this huge task, the Census hired some 860,000 temporary workers and spent more than $6 billion (about $18 per person in the US) in total. Despite their best efforts, the Census Bureau estimates that the 2000 Census missed 6.4 million people. Although this is a relatively small number of people (only 2% of the population), most of those not counted are minorities, children, and low-income people. There are many reasons why people might not get counted in the Census, including: privacy concerns, homelessness, low literacy levels and not enough time to fill out the forms. The Census also estimates that they counted 3.1 million people twice. Most of these people were white and affluent. One reason for them being counted twice is that they may have received two Census forms to fill out because they own two homes. At the end of the day, it appears a lot of people want to be someone else for the fame or cash. We are who we are, nothing was wrong in the first place, we let race and cash divide us. Poor whites and blacks should have united. Ellis Island is a federally owned island in New York Harbor, situated within the U.S. states of New Jersey and New York, that was once the busiest immigrant inspection and processing station in the United States. From 1892 to 1954, nearly 12 million immigrants arriving at the Port of New York and New Jersey were processed there under federal law.[ This collection consists of passenger lists of arrivals in New Orleans, Louisiana for the years 1820 to 1945. What Were the Major U.S. Immigration Ports? Virtually all immigrants during the 19th and 20th centuries arrived in America through one of 8 major ports. New York: Castle Garden, New York’s first official immigration station, was established in 1855. The famed Ellis Island would eventually take over New York immigration in 1892. Boston: Boston immigration started off slowly, but…
