@katiiiann The government saw New Mexico as a wide open space with enough area to not only get the project done in secret but also allow for testing of the product.

@MumbowerMorgan Why was their an act in the first place restricting people in the first place, what was the cause for this act to be set in place?

@MumbowerMorgan To think it was that easy back then to register as a resident, it seems almost to simple compared to events taking place now.

@MumbowerMorgan It's crazy to think that the government thought that this would help take people out of debt when it only put them further in debt.

Families of people who worked at Site Y lived a hard life as their spouse or parent was sworn to secrecy and they were forced to live in tents outside the main base. This often caused drifts within the family.

The Hispanic New Deal did little to improve conditions of poverty, however it did establish some relief during the Great Depression. While the New Deal provided relief it did not allow for New Mexico's economy to grow.

During the time of the Manhattan Project New Mexico and the Federal Government's relationship grew as money was provided to build the Los Alamos and Sandia National Labs.

The livestock reductions that took place during the 1930's and 40's hurt the Native American's at the time because they had such close connections to their livestock.

The Indian Citizenship Act, which was passed on June 2nd, 1924, granted Native American's citizenship. It's crazy to think that Native's weren't granted citizenship until this time.

Native Americans were hit especially hard by the Great Depression since they had been under going cultural assimilation by the federal government, because of this the Indian Reorganization Act was put in place,

With the Great Depression segregation was brought into play while many searched for jobs. Anglo Americans had a much higher chance of finding work than any other race even if the Anglo Americans didn't have experience.

During the era of the Great Depression New Mexico had one of the highest poverty rates in the nation, this meant that New Mexico didn't feel the full force of the depression since they were already in such bad economical shape.

Artist's in New Mexico helped bring in more tourism into the state as they painted pictures of New Mexico's landscape and people. This helped the Santa Fe Railroad and the Fred Harvey Company as they were both eager to bring New Mexico into the spotlight.

During the early 1900's Border Patrol did not exist, allowing many people from Mexico to make their way into the American.

@michell64238246 I wonder how many people nowadays would agree with the groups actions and values, were they in the wrong or were their actions justified?

[Hondo2003 @hondo2003]

@michell64238246 It's sad to think that the native people were treated so poorly in NM's school system, the way the were treated, the way they were told to lose their culture and language, they faced nothing but hardship and humiliation.
#Hist2260

[Hondo2003 @hondo2003]

@michell64238246 Did all people of the U.S. think that NM was nothing but a dangerous land not worth statehood?

[Hondo2003 @hondo2003]

@michell64238246 It's crazy to think that they were only allowed four minutes to try and prove that the war effort was something that all citizens should be involved in.

[Hondo2003 @hondo2003]

@michell64238246 New Mexico tried to prove themselves to the U.S. in so many ways and it's a crazy to think that it took them so long to gain their statehood.
