Jazz
... sacrificing the old. By the late twenties, improvisation
had expanded to the extent of improvisation we ordinarily expect from
jazz today. It was the roaring twenties that a group of new tonalities
entered the mainstream, fixing the sound and the forms of our popular
music for the next thirty years. Louie Armstrong closed the book on the
dynastic tradition in New Orleans jazz.

The American Dream
... and South wanted to better the country to have it achieve the
"American Dream". Unfortunately, each side had a different perspective on
how to approach it. Slavery was a major issue, the North against, the
South pro. The disagreement on slavery lead to difficulty in the issue of
Westward expansion. Both agreed to it, but whether to admit them as free

World War 2 And Executive Order 8802

... is stored in a data warehouse. This makes it much easier and more efficient to run queries over data that originally came from different sources." When data about an organization’s practices is easier to access, it becomes more economical to mine. “Without the pool of validated and scrubbed data that a data warehouse provides, the process requires considerable additional effort to pre-process the data” (SAS Institute).
There are several different types of models and algorithms used to “mine” the data. These include, but are not limited to, neural networks, decision trees, rule induction, boosting, and genetic algorithms.

... a majority of the immigrants;
the Scandinavian nations provided a substantial minority. Afterwards the
proportion of immigrants from northern and Western Europe declined rapidly. In
the final period, from 1890 to 1910, fewer than one-third of the immigrants came
from these areas. The majority of the immigrants were natives of Southern and
Eastern Europe, with immigrants from Austria, Hungary, Italy, and Russia

the volume declined s ...

... it at all. Some adults called it the devils music. Yet the youth of America loved and stood up for it. Th old nagging parents got rid of the music, but bot for long. In the 1960's rock and roll made a huge revival.
"Repots of its demise were highly exaggerated,” said Gale Research. All that hated it, also hated the famous radio station WINS. WINS, was the first radio station to broadcast rock and roll.
