Throughout the nineteenth century, a fluctuating standard existed for freedom, with very different levels of freedom existing for each group, while equality decreased over time and a polarized class system was formed. This is most highlighted by the removal of Native Americans in the south, the expansion of rights and social oppression of Blacks, and the addition of opportunities to women during the nineteenth century.

Birth control became a contested political issue in Britain during the 19th century. This trend was particularly acute in the United Kingdom, where birth rates declined from almost 3. births per 1,000 in the 1870s to about 29 per 1,000 by 1900.

19th century politics and how it affected Britain and America; a brief glimpse gleamed from Victorian newspaper .

The biggest major event in 19th century America is almost certainly the civil war over slavery splitting north and south; and undoubtedly this and its outcome has shaped America politically and socially; making it what it is today.

Early 19th-century literature. After the American Revolution, and increasingly after the War of 1812, American writers were exhorted to produce a literature that was truly native. As if in response, four authors of very respectable stature appeared. Irving, the youngest member of a prosperous merchant family, joined with ebullient young men of the town in producing the Salmagundi papers (1807–08), which satirized the foibles of Manhattan’s citizenry. This was followed by A History of New York (1809), by Diedrich Knickerbocker, a burlesque history that mocked pedantic scholarship and sniped at the old Dutch families.

In 1829 Frances Wright, of Nashoba, along with Robert Dale Owen (son of New Harmony guy) opened the Hall of Science in NYC - taught classes on sexuality and distributed information about birth control this was met with all kinds of opposition, you .

The book opens with a discussion of the history of birth control methods and the criminalization of contraception and abortion in the 19th century. Its core, however, is an exciting narrative of the campaign in the 20th century, vividly recalling the arrests and indictments, banned publications, imprisonments, confiscations, clinic raids, mass meetings, and courtroom dramas that publicized the cause across the nation.

In the 19th century, many Dutch immigrants living in the United States celebrated the feast of Saint Nicholas on December sixth. Saint Nicholas was especially important to New Yorkers because of their history as a Dutch colony. In 1809, Washington Irving published his "History of New York. It lists Saint Nicholas as the patron saint of New Yorkers. He describes the saint wearing a low hat, large pants, and smoking a pipe. Does this description sound familiar? In 1822, an American professor named Clement Clarke Moore wrote a poem that redefined the image of Saint Nicholas

American family structure is constantly evolving.

American family structure is constantly evolving. Over the past century, changes in family dynamics have transformed the appearance of the traditional unit. Mainstream culture in America is constantly evolving to reflect the predominant values and belief systems of the day, including what are often considered immutable social systems, such as the family. Instead of being one unit, the institution has been in a constant state of evolution since the founding of America itself. Today, there really is no consistent definition of the American family. With single-parent households, varying family structures and fewer children, the modern family defies categorization.
