    Recognized and named Oxygen. Then Hydrogen in 1783
  • The Civil War

    The Civil War

    The causes of the Civil War are much more than slavery, but the sustenance or abolition of slavery was the result everyone watched for, and what all the politicians fought for.
  • Joseph Proust

    Joseph Proust

    Discovered the law of constant composition.
  • John Dalton

    John Dalton

    All matter consists of tiny particles, atoms are indestructible and unchangeable.
  • Amadeo Avagadro

    Amadeo Avagadro

    Made the molecular theory.
  • Louisiana Purchase

    Louisiana Purchase

    The U. S. paid 60 million francs, and canceled French debts totaling another 18 million, for a grand total of 78 million francs, or about $15 million.
  • William Crookes

    William Crookes

    He discovered the element Thallium. This led him indirectly to the invention of the radiometer in 1875.

    Assasination of Abraham Lincoln

    John Wilkes Booth shot president Abraham Lincoln during a speach

    Theorized that atoms have their charge concentrated in a very small nucleus.
  • Henry Hosely

    Henry Hosely

    Proposed that the atom contains in its nucleus a number of positive nuclear charges that is equal to its atomic number in the periodic table.
  • Max Planck
