I
will write my paper on the minority influence on gambling in the west and the
effects gambling had on the minorities between 1800 and 1930. In this
paper I hope to illustrate how Native Americans, Irish, Germans, Hispanics,
African Americans, Russians, as well as Italians all had a huge influence on
gambling and how gambling affected them in the American west.
I will use many articles, testimonies, photos, as well as maps to
illustrate how events in history affected each minority and how each minority
co exited with other minorities. I will research what each minority
contributed to gambling as well as the effects that prohibition and outlawing
gambling affected certain individuals not only professionally but privately as
well.
Gambling is one of the favorite pass times in not
only America but the world, and it has been for hundreds of years.
With each new war, invention, government and generation, gambling changes. In
the American west where many different people from many different backgrounds
co-existed for many of the same reasons, also influenced not only gambling but
American life and culture as we know it.
