First+Half+Of+The+19th+Century+CLM

= Topic: Chores =

__19th century__ - "This work should never be done, except in warm and dry weather. In damp and cold weather, the health of the family is endangered by it…Before commencing the cleaning of a house, take down all nice glasses, pictures, and ornaments, and cover them. In cleaning paint, use hot suds, and then wipe dry. Take off ink and stains, with oxalic acid. Wash windows with sponges, (as they give off no lint,) in warm water, without soap, and wipe them dry…Painted chairs should be wiped with a sponge dipped in warm water. Never wash the floor of a sleeping-room, in the latter part of the day, as it endangers health by the dampness…" http://www.osv.org/explore_learn/document_viewer.php?DocID=1158 __21st century__ - Most of this is the same. We clean the same things in the house (parents point of view). But we don't cover up the nice glasses and everything. And we do it in both cold and warm weather.
 * Example 1: On Housecleaning**

__19th century__ - "Persons who are neat and thorough housekeepers, observe the manner in which a table is set, more than anything else; and to a person of good taste and refinement, who has been accustomed to a table set in a proper manner, few things are more annoying than to see a table placed askew; a tablecloth soiled and rumpled, or put on awry; the plates, knives, and dishes, put on without order; the tumblers dirty; the caster out of order; the pitchers soiled on the outside and sometimes within; the butter pitched into the plate, without care; the salt, coarse, damp and dark; the bread cut in a mixture of junks and thin slices; and all the other items in similar style." http://www.osv.org/explore_learn/document_viewer.php?DocID=1158__21st __21st century__ - We don't really care how the table is set up on a regular acation. As long as everything is on the table. Unless people are coming over you house to eat then the table has to be set up right.
 * Example 2: On Setting a Table**

__**Example 3: Farm Chores** 19th century__ - Ploughed, harrowed, tilled, hayed, mowed, ditched, picked stones, spread manure, built fences, tended cattle. http://www.osv.org/explore_learn/document_viewer.php?DocID=930 "....shelling so many bushels of corn or cutting, splitting or carrying in to the house an allotted quantity of wood in the winter, hoeing an allotted portion of the garden or other similar work in the summer." http://www.osv.org/explore_learn/document_viewer.php?DocID=987 __21st century__ - Most people don't have farms any more. So no one does any of these things any more.

__**Example 4: Girl/Boy Chores** 19th century__ - Girl: They had to do sewing, cooking, cleaning around the house (sweeping, dusting), washing of the clothes, and washing of the dishes. http://www.osv.org/explore_learn/document_viewer.php?DocID=930 Boy: Taking care of stock. http://www.osv.org/explore_learn/document_viewer.php?DocID=987__21st __21st century__ - The boys do both the girl and boy chores of the 19th century. But most girls do some cook, cleaning around the house, washing of clothes and washing of the dishes. No one really has a farm and more so they don't have to take care of stock. But they could have to take care of an animal like a dog (feed and bathe it). Also they take care of the outside of the house (yard work).


 * Conclusion:** Things differ from the 19th century chores to the 21st century chores. For example, no one has a farm around Connecticut any more. So no one needs to tended to the cattle or anything like that. The only thing that is realitive to that may be a garden. And if you have a garden you get the things you are planting if they are ripe. That is the closest thing you can get to a farm in the 21st century. Also the son and daughter chores can co-enside with each other now a days. The boys and girls can cook, clean around the house, washing of the clothes, and washing of the dishes. But the boys don't take care of stock any more because once again we do not have farms any more. The boys could take care of any animals they have like a dog. That is the most connected thing from then and now have to do with animals. With setting the table and household chores though is mostly the same thing. There are just little things that differ the the 19th century and the 21st century. The difference with setting the table is that we are not so particular about it. Everything doesn't need to be so neat. That is only true when we are having people over to eat. The difference in the household chores is that we don't cover up any glass or pictures. Also we clean whether is is warm or cold outside.

= Topic: Religion =

__19th Century__ - "Is it not amazing, that at a time, when the rights of humanity are defined and understood with precision, in a country above all others fond of liberty; that in such an age, and in such a country, we find men professing a religion the most humane, mild gentle and generous, adopting a principle as repugnant to humanity, as it is inconsistent with the Bible, and destructive to liberty?" http://www.osv.org/explore_learn/document_viewer.php?DocID=2089 __21st Century__ - Religion is always important when whatever is happening in the country. Most things that happen in the country have to do with religion.
 * Example 1: Religion Still Important When There Is Trouble In The Country**

__19th Century__ - People would strive for a religion. "In the latter part of September I visited my friends in Lynn, and heard Rev. Dan Young preach…Then, for the first time, I fully resolved not to rest until I found religion…The next morning I returned to Salem, and before night, to my no small surprise, Rev. Mr. Young came into our shop." http://www.osv.org/explore_learn/document_viewer.php?DocID=128 __21st Century__ - Most people have a religion. If they don't they are looking for one because it has so much to do with our country. Everything that happens in our country has to do with religion or race.
 * Example 2: Importance**

__19th Century__ - "The next is here because her parents and family are wicked infidels, and she cannot be allowed to enjoy the privileges of religion at home." http://www.osv.org/explore_learn/documenIt_viewer.php?DocID=40 __21st Century__ - The average household would encourage the family to practice religion at home.
 * Example 3: In The Household**

__19th Century__ - "I went to Parma last Monday. Had the pleasure of reading a letter you wrote to Uncle Samuel—the part on religion and temperance I presume would be more acceptable to me than to him as he thinks there cannot be too much said nor done on either subject." http://www.osv.org/explore_learn/document_viewer.php?DocID=838 __21st Century__ - Some people do care more than others in any subject. It is just one persons opinion on something.
 * Example 4: Some People Care More Than Others**


 * Conclusion:** Religion is important no matter what the time peroid is or what is happening in the country at that time. Whatever is happening in the country usually has to do with religion. That goes for both the 19th century and the 21st century. People would strive for a religion in the 19th century. They wouldn't rest until they found one. Most people in the 21st century have a religion. But if they don't they are definatly looking for one because this has so much to do with our country today. Everything that happens in our country has to do with religion or race. In the 19th century, some households would not let the family practice their religion. It was known has a privilage. But the average household today would encourage the family to practice the religion at home. People are proud of what they believe in. And as sad as it is, some people care more about their beliefs than others. That is the same in the 19th and the 21st century. Now, certain people care more about one thing than others in any subject, not just religion. This is just one persons opinion on something.
