Nebraska in the early 1890s suffered from protracted drought, and farm prices fell to new lows. Conditions were so unfavorable that immigration, which had more than doubled the state's population in the 1880s, almost ceased. Nebraska's population only increased by seven thousand persons between 1890 and 1900. Some became so discouraged that they sold or gave up their property and left the state.

ReplyDeleteThe bigotry makes me sick. America is in decline because of the barbaric Republican Party, who have destroyed the lives of millions of women, children, minorities, and gays in order to enrich the Koch Brothers and Halliburton. Iran is a much more tolerant society than the American South, where only Jesus freaks are welcome. Bush and the criminal Republicans ought to be arrested and thrown in jail for their hate, which is worse than anything from Iran.
ReplyDeleteHi Senator Reid!
ReplyDeleteThe article makes no judgements. It just posts documentary evidence of what existed in the 06's and 70's. If you find this bigoted then I suggest that you bring the prejudice into the conversation yourself. If there is anyone bigoted here, you sir, are the bigot. Your unwarranted and unprovoked diatribe against those you despise is evidence enough of that fact.

ReplyDeleteThere is nothing more intolerant than a progressive screaming about "tolerance."
He's not a prog. He's a muzzie.
