Treatment of Peoples of Color
How did Mexicans earn a living in the late 1800's and where did they do this work?
Mexicans in the late 1800's were hired by railroad companies to construct their railroads. The Mexican people that worked on the railroads were used to the regions hot and dry climate. They did this type of work in the southwest in desert areas.
Describe African-American life in the 1900's.
African Americans were poorly treated in the south, as a result, African Americans moved to northern cities for a better life hoping for social equality and better working conditions. African-American's who did move to northern cities found out that the northern cities were not so different from the south. They were forced to segregate from the white neighborhoods, meaning they would live in different areas from the white's. Blacks also faced unfair working conditions, white's had better opportunities over the African American's with jobs in the 1900's. Overall the African Americans were treated poorly and were socially discriminated(faced with racism).

Theodore was born in New York City on October 27,1858. T.R. had asthma when he was born, and was fraile during his youth. His Dad encouraged him to start exercising to build up strengith because his father was afraid of T.R.'s health. Roosevelt took up boxing and started exercising.
