Much appreciated! Thank you the_birthday_skeleton.
Now, gambling is legal. It’s no different now than the 1800s. People will use their money to buy Megamillions or Powerball tickets, and they hope that they’re going to win. It seems like the only ones that win are in California, Florida, or other states but Illinois where the Powerball began.
To say that it’s cursed would be an understatement. Each winner has either died, been murdered, or died broke. Each winner said that they’d help others in need, but they buy things they don’t need.
Thank you sir for your wonderful cultural documentary channel. As always iam gathering main information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s five point in 19 th century was infamous for decades, New York was center of violent crime, unemployment, gambling, infectious diseases, filth . Between years 1845 and 1852 milion Irish emigrated, followed by further two million by end of century. In 19 th century one in four people in New York was Irish. Irish made up largest immigrant group at the time. People also emigrated to USA from Germany especially in 1848 Revolution, or from China . Former slaves from southern states too , five points is largest slum in New York City was most violent, poor district, unhealthy part of New York City . There are also racial hierarchy they arrived by coffin ship to escape famine , or by undergo railroad, which were secret routes used by slaves to escape bondage , blacks and Irish were joined by Chinese and Italian, presided into close proximity. Irish they were determined to make ghetto. They were white in color not in status . Irish Americans and African Americans competed for same low states jobs . They worked as ditch diggers or , street pavers , Cartmen , coal carriers . They were labeled alcoholic, violent , ignorant and lazy .
Thank you Khatoon.
Thanks!
Thank you so much Brian! It’s very much appreciated.
We're so quick to blame the vice it self but not certain people's actions. If they didn't have that particular vice to ruin themselves with, most likely they would have just done it anyways with a different one. Mean while there's tons of people doing the same vice responsibility and not ruining their lives.
I know people who still play numbers
I am now even more inclined to play. I could kick myself urgh.
Well I never.
I think the same will be said in 100 years about today. Of humanity.
I love gambling! But illegal 😢 numbers coming soon!
❤❤❤❤❤
good
