Garibaldi's Speech in 1860 There are many significant events and victories that surround
Garibaldi’s speech that was made in Naples. The year of 1860 proved
to be a very important year for Garibaldi and the people of Italy. It
is the year that the individual states of Italy were brought to
unification and existed as one country. It was agreed at the “Peace
of Villafranca, signed between Austria and France, that Lombardy would
be given to Sardinia and that an Italian Confederation could be formed
under the presidency of the Pope. The rulers of Parma, Modena and
Tuscany, overthrown during the war, were to be restored to their
states.” (Tankard, 2002) The Kingdom of Sardinia annexed Parma,
Modena, Tuscany and Romagna. Garibaldi wanted the rest of Italy
conquered, therefore he set out with his army. In Sicily they were
able to gain control quite easy. Then he set out to Naples to conquer
it. A great battle was fought in Volturno against the Austrian King
Ferdinand II who fled and surrendered Naples to Garibaldi. This was
the last place that Garibaldi and his army conquered. The conquer of
Naples is a significant event because the “overthrow of the Kingdom of
Naples, the event which precipitated Italian unification.” (Mortimer,
1999).

He was a photographer who brought attention to the living conditions of immigrants in america. Immigrants were living upwards of 12 people in a room. Rooms without ventilation, or indoor plumbing, the unsanitary conditions made for an unhealthy cycle of disease. Cholera, and tuberculosis were very common in this time, because they lacked the knowledge we know today. The italians had never encountered such problems as this. In Italy, while they lived in close quarters, they also spent a large portion of their time outside. Not only were there homes unsafe, but also their work places.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the leading national public health institute in the United States, illuminates to the world, “ In 2013, a total of 273,105 babies were born to women aged 15 – 19 years [in the US]” (About Teen Pregnancy). Although the statistic was taken in 2013, the relevance of it, to this day, is monumental. If an individual hears of a teen pregnancy, compared to the past, it would have little to no effect. For example, The Scarlet Letter, written by Nathanial Hawthorne in 1850, follows the life of a woman, who happens to be a mother, while she hides herself in shame, withdrawn from society because she has a child. The novel’s views juxtaposed with today’s views on teen pregnancies are substantially different.
