how does the past historic events have affected the present?



Chinese immigrants

The majority of Chinese immigrants, for example, were single men who worked for a while and returned home. At first, they were attracted to North America by the gold rush in California. Many prospected for gold on their own or labored for other miners. Soon, many opened their own businesses such as restaurants, laundries, and other personal service concerns.

Latin immigrants:

The 2010 Census counted 50.5 million Hispanics in the United Sates, making up 16.3% of the total population. The nation's Hispanic population, which was 35.3 million in 2000, grew 46.3% over the decade, and even more sharply in many Southeastern states.


Some scattered Latinos were reported to settle in Arkansas in early 1890s but most moved, leaving no trace of their Latino heritage. When the first Latinos arrived in Arkansas, they lived at the bottom of the socio-economic system, in part due to a lack of skills, education, or knowledge of the English language.

one question: How does the past historic events have affected the present?

A: well, I think that some events in the past changed significally the present. If this events had not occurred, where would we be now? what had occurred with some things? Let's think about it: what had happened if the French revolution had not happened? probably, the human rights would not exist and everything would be a caos. What had happened if nazi had won the II world war? maybe, we were suffering from slavering and would be in a world-dictadure  that make everyone a slave, well it's what I think...
