It was meant to create better working conditions, shorter work weeks, better pay, and to provide a sanitary and safe work environment, because all of these had been missing before.
Evidence tells a story in history because it makes history come alive and seem more real to the reader. A personal letter or diary, a photograph, an article of clothing, even a newspaper, all have the ability to show what life was like, what society was like, and how people lived in earlier times. Legislation and lawmaking also helps shed light on society, because it shows what people...
Without these kinds of evidence, history would not be nearly as understandable, or as interesting, and it would be much harder to get a real idea of what society and life was like in earlier times. Photographs are especially important to this understanding, because they are the most vivid portrayals of people and events, and they were not altered, so they prove theories and ideas about life, such as the desperate poverty that many immigrants lived in.

The authors continue, "They [abolitionists] took down the stories of fugitive slaves who had safely made their way North, and published the accounts" (Davidson and Lytle 178). However, interest in these stories waned, and it wasn't until the twentieth century that interest

Strange death of Silas Deane Information and selection: Different ways of proving a hypothesis The question of whether colors have an objective existence is a difficult question to answer, given the degree to which perceptions of color are subjective. To explain the phenomena of color identification, authors have drawn upon the disciplines of anthropology, history, and linguistics, as well as the natural sciences. For example, in the essay by Henry Fountain
