Chapter 32.2: Main Point Highlights
The main points of Chapter 32.2 are that after 1929, unemployment affected every side of society. This meant that no matter which status of society, the economy corruption made everyone divested. Men were not able to feed their families and everyone was living with an income that supports nothing more than living or, in other word, staying alive. This sham made the suicide rate increased. Furthermore, people did not have enough money to purchase. This means that things are becoming less valuable because products had to decrease their value so that people could consume. People also borrowed more money to want to increase their income. Nevertheless, this created a negative affect for the economy. The economy just kept dropping when people with loans could not pay back their loans. In conclusion, the economy had no chance to recover because it was in a cycle of debts. And I’m running out of time, its 9:48! I havnt double check!

Compare and Contrast: Correction
In History Alive, Howard Zinn and Schweikert's writting one of the most important social issues in the U.S. in the 1920’s was anti-immigration. The large number of immigrants in the United State had created ethnic conflicts. For example a Jewish factory manager, Leo Frank was lynched by the Ku Klux Klan in 1915 for a crime he maybe committed. Furthermore, in Howard Zinn’s writing, he agreed with the revival of KKK and said that even the NACCP, association that was suppose to help the immigrants, had no authority when facing the mob violence and ethnic hatred. On the other hand, Larry Schweikart agreed with the existence of the KKK, but said that it was not effective as History Alive and Zinn described. He stated that people should not have to worry about the KKK and its revival because as he mentioned, “Ku Klux Klansmen…organization had plummeted in membership since the 1920s”
Asides from the disagreement, in all three documents they all agree with the existance of liberal association that tried to help secure immigrant's rights. In History Alive, it mentioned the liberal group, American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), who are founded to protect the freedom of speech. They fought back to protect immigrants from being deported and defended the right of trade union also mentioned that the ACLU became one of the leading role in opposing censorship. In Zinn’s writing, he brought up the NAACP, who were founded to protect abused rights, but he said that they were ineffective in releasing the tension of the violence and prejudice towards immigrants. In Schweikert’s writing he stated that although organizations like the ACLU and NAACP existed, but they were only appeared to be helping an was secretly agreeing with the majority of the society that immigrants are overcrowding the United States. As he mentioned, “Those northern white elites would enthusiastically and aggressively support the fight for civil rights in the South while carefully segregating their own children at all-white private schools.”
Moreover, in three of the documents, History Alive and Howard Zinn agreed that the government are invovled in the anti-immigration acts, but Schweikerts made no opinion. History Alive pointed out that the United State government was sides with the nativist. For example, the quota system, it was used to limit the number of immigrants from each country. By 1924, the quota was reduced to “2 percent of a country’s resident in the United States in 1890.” In Zinn’s writing he gave statistic that showed immigrants are limited severely, this includes “ No African country could send more than 100 people; 100 was the limit for China, for Bulgaria, for Palestine.” Nevertheless, Schweikert kept silence with the stand of the government. He did not mention anything about government being on the nativist’s nor the liberal’s sides.
