AP US History 'Famous Women' Skits

*No one was ever hurt, and we mean no offence to anyone. We were merely trying to reinact how we assumed events were like back then while being silly. XD*

The video of our AP US History skit we did for our topic of 'Women and their Accomplishments' during a set period within our text books, roughly after the Civil War and early 1900s. I was left to edit it and I later decided to post it today.

The skits were from beginning to end:

Dorthea Dix (advocated for better treatment in prisons and of mentally ill or disabled people)

Clara Barton (nurse and founded Red Cross Foundation)

Harriet Beecher Stowe (wrote Uncle Tom's Cabin)

Victoria Woodhull (first women to try to become President of the U.S.A.)

Mary Harris Jones (advocated for bettwer wages and working conditions until the day she died at age 100)

The songs in order of appearance are:

On my Own from the play Les Miserables, sung by Lea Salonga

Theme of Lonliness from Skies of Arcadia (a gamecume/dreamcast game)

Single Ladies sung by Beyonce

The people perfomring in no specific order:
Me
Lyndsey
Ashley
Jennie
Lauren
