Epistemology is the study of knowledge. Knowledge is given to us throughout our whole lives from the people we are surrounded by. Mainly are parents are the one who gave us the knowledge we believe in our lives.

This has made me determined to achieve along with causing me to have a competitive streak.

The USA had mass immigration from1890 onwards and this had an impact on America in multiple ways. There were both positive and negative impacts of the mass immigration. One of the impacts of immigration was that there was a lot of social tension this is because a lot of the immigrants were staying in the big cities.

American Expansion “From sea to shining sea” is how we know and take pride in our country today. But, America was not always this vast mass of land, and it used to be just a tiny nation that hugged one coast. The expansion of this country was a fast and rigorous process, and much harm was done on the way. American expansion did more harm than good because it resulted in sectionalism, the virtual annihilation of Indians, and economic panics. The expansion of America to the wide open west fostered sectional tensions between the North and the Old South.
