How many immigrant children are born in the us today?
If a child is born in the United States they aren't immigrants, but citizens. So, your answer is none.
What is the long term effect of the 19th amendment?
The 19th Amendment gave women the right to vote. With this right, women became involved in the political system which has led to women holding offices and today Nancy Pelosi is the first woman Speaker of the House.
Was slavery over when the civil war ended?
No. Some citizens in the border states (e.g. Kentucky, West Virginia) that sided with the North owned slaves. The Emancipation Proclamation only freed slaves in "still in rebellion" southern areas of the time. Yet, as obviously seen today, slavery in these states died out. African American slavery in the South was put to a stop largely by Civil War events and an amendment to the Constitution. But keep in mind that the Civil War did not stop slavery permanently. Worldwide- the US included- slavery still goes in various forms and it effects Africans and other ethnic groups as well. Today's modern slavery relies heavily on human trafficking in many cases. So, the Civil War in direct and indirect ways did lead (or contribute) to the end of the plantation slave era in the American South. It did not end the general slavery that still goes on (on a small scale) in the United States today.
What is the value today of 3s 6d in 1818?
Three Shillings and Sixpence (3/6d) GBP in 1818 had the purchasing power of about £9.38 GBP today. NOTE - This historical conversion is the result of many calculations and considerations by a purpose designed program for which I can take no credit. The resulting answer should only be regarded as an approximation.
