The Nineteenth Century
The Nineteenth Century American was very different than the Twentieth Century American. They had different technology, food, laws, dress, customs, view of art and beauty, and family structure. They lived a lot differently than we do and they acted differently, also. They liked different things, and had different customs, also. They spoke English, but used different words and words had different meanings. The Nineteenth Century American ate many different things, but most of theme were simple. During the Nineteenth Century, the potato chip was invented. American Indian George Crum invented them in 1853. He was a chef at a fancy restaurant in Saratoga Springs, New York. Crum made French fries that were too thin to grab with a fork, to make a customer mad. They ate many things but mostly simple things. The enjoyed eating the hamburger, but they ate it on a plate, and not on a bun. Also Dr. Pepper was invented in the Nineteenth Century.

Art and music were very different in the Nineteenth Century. During the Nineteenth Century, many new religious groups were formed. In the early Nineteenth Century, many settlers began moving west of the Ohio River, and wanted their territory to grow rapidly. Many young boys and men would wear suits, even as play clothes. Most families in the Nineteenth Century were made of a husband and a wife, and their children. In Mississippi, for example, all African Americans had to have proof of employment, or go to jail. Many men and boys would wear tan colored shoes. Many farmers and Plantation owners in the south had hundred or even thousands of slaves. In 1840, farmer Cyrus Hall McCormick made a very wide known reaper. Breakfast was served around seven, dinner (now called lunch) at noon (except on Sunday where it was served around two), and supper at six. Many issues, such as slavery and marriage, caused denominations to branch apart. In South Carolina, in order to work in a job that wasn't on a farm, they needed to pay a heavy bond. This was because most religions did not permit divorce, and most men wouldn't leave a woman and her children alone.
