Centennial international exposition. It was held in philadelphia from may to november 1876. It was supposed to celebrate the centennial of american independence, and ideally it was supposed to celebrate the reunion of the nation following the civil war, which was really the first worlds fair. But in the midst of the celebration, there was terrible news. I will explain to you what it was, but i think it was a very useful moment when the Northern Plains and the delaware valley, two of the five regions we have looked at, they seem so far from each other and were in fact closely connected. What i want to do is use this moment, 1870 6, 1877, to really reflect back on what we have done this semester and give you a sense of where we are going, to talk about continuity and change in the 19th century, because right before the exam, i was emphasizing a lot of changes.

But i want to for a second talk about the fact that i think a lot of americans agreed with the republicans that Brett Kavanaugh deserved due process. You just cant say some guy did something and have nobody there verifying. Have one story after another story after another story coming out and not a Single Person to corroborate. And i think a lot of americans said, wait a second, thats not right. That doesnt fit my idea of fair play. Somebody should be able to face the accusers, there should be evidence, etcetera, etcetera.
