    Transcontinental Railroad Dbq

    The first ever Transcontinental Railroad in America was completed with the help of the Chinese who contributed greatly to its construction. Despite the major role that the Chinese had in the construction of the railroad, they were not able to escape prejudice in America. One notable act of prejudice done by America against the Chinese prior to the completion of the railroad is the signing and passing of The Chinese Exclusion Act by President Chester A. Arthur on May 6, 1882 discontinuing Chinese laborers. Before this law was passed, between 1869 and 1882, many events happened that factored into the decision of passing the Chinese Exclusion act. Examples of these factors were that the Chinese were receiving more job than American citizens,…

    Robert Moses, the NYC's Master Builder

    In the late 1930s a municipal controversy raged over whether an additional vehicular link between Brooklyn and lower Manhattan would be a bridge or a tunnel. Bridges can be wider and cheaper but tall ones use more ramp space at landfall than tunnels. A "Brooklyn Battery Bridge" would have destroyed Battery Park and physically encroached on the financial district. The bridge was opposed by the Regional Plan Association, historical preservationists, Wall Street financial interests and property owners, various high society people, construction unions (since a tunnel would give them more work), the Manhattan borough president, Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia, and governor Herbert H. Lehman.…

    Atlantic Avenue History

    Resembling a beaten down path rather that a road, Atlantic Avenue lived in the shadow of District Street, which later became the southern boundary for the Village of Brooklyn in 1816 (“Atlantic Avenue”). The 1800s saw the rise of Brooklyn, thanks to the Manhattan ferry, which spurred a movement of shops and firms to the area. It was at this time around 1870 that the worn down little path was fortified and deemed Atlantic Avenue (“Atlantic Avenue”). The newly named avenue continued to flourish until the 1940s. In 1931, the new-found popularity of the area spurred the construction of the first male exclusive residential hotel of Brooklyn, also known as the Times Plaza Hotel (Spellen). Other businesses like the Times Plaza and YMCA continued to flock to the area until around the 1940s. The decline of business was due to Robert Moses’ proposal of the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway. Moses’ brilliant roadway cuts off the avenue from the East River and killed hundreds of businesses and homes along the avenue (“Atlantic Avenue”). Despite the destruction of business, a new wave of immigrants from around the world brought life and culture back into the…

    New York City Transit Analysis

    MTA thought that they could strong arm the union as they had in the past. In 1999 and 2002 MTA threatened the union with fines and jail time if they did not negotiate. Therefore, union leaders accepted terms and contracts that they normally would not have if they had other options. But members of the union were tired of promises by management of better working conditions and wage increases that did not cover the cost of inflation. Union members also felt that because they were minorities that they did not get the same pay as their counterparts in other MTA companies. They were determined not to settle for a mediocre contract. But when MTA proposed a contract with small pay increases, an increase in the pension age, increases in the amount that workers would pay for pension and workers now paying for healthcare that was once free to them, they decided that the striking was their only option even though it was illegal.…

    New York City Subway In The 1970's

    During the 1970s when the NYC Subway was designed New York City was all about dirty, dangerous, and destitute, with pimps and prostitutes populating the streets, an economic collapse and a crime-filled subway system, the streets of Manhattan were gritty and dark. The subways were covered everywhere with ugly graffiti and they were unreliable and the subway system became rife with crime as riders became the victims of rapes and robberies. While the city was on the verge of bankruptcy New York was entering a period of difficulty and falling tax receipts, as the city’s economy was rocked by the decline of manufacturing and the flight of the white middle class to the suburbs many New Yorkers were out of jobs. Homeless man sleeping in the streets…

    Brooklyn Heights Gentrification

    What once began as an area filled with brownstone buildings in the architectural style of Queen Anne and Gothic Revival, it started to lose upper-class residents because the newly-operational IRT subway in early the early 1900s, made it easy for the masses to travel freely to and from the once-secluded neighborhood. When the wealthy people left for the suburbs, many of the brownstones were divided into rooming houses for lower-income occupants (Osman 2011).…
