There were many different reactions to integrated schools in Colorado. All the populations saw it in a different way, some liked it and some weren’t too happy about it.
Colorado wanted all schools to be integrated. A way that they were going to try to achieve it was busing. Busing was used to pick up all students to take them to school, it was a way of integrating them. For the most part African­Americans were okay with being integrated.
Hispanics in the Denver area didn’t really like the idea, they wanted to stay true to their culture.
The white population wasn’t to thrilled about the idea. Most whites didn’t want their childs to go to integrated schools and so they sent them to private schools, those who couldn’t afford it moved to where there were white only schools. That is how the “white nooose” started in
Colorado. Most of Colorado wanted to stop the noose and so the Poundstone Amendment came into play. The amendment of 1974 was suppose to make schools be integrated but most whites didn’t follow it. Colorado’s economy shifted a lot over the years. Colorado’s shifted a lot after World War
II. Before WWII Colorado relied a lot on mining and agriculture, because there wasn’t much to do. During WWII the government had made army bases in Colorado and also jobs to make shells and many other things. After WWII ended soldiers were coming home, many back to Colorado, and they also needed jobs. Once the war was over jobs started to boom. Colorado was having to build more houses, stores, parking lots, and roads. All these things created a bunch of jobs for people living in Colorado and it also helped the economy. Ski resorts were starting to be built and people needed a way to get there and across Colorado, and so I­70 began which also created jobs. Tourism was a big impact after WWII helping Colorado.

Part 2 Colorado has had its ups and downs with the whole country. Ever since Colorado wanted to become a state in 1876. Colorado had tried to become a state often but never very succussed and only got to be a territory. When Colorado submitted a draft of its state constitution to the
Union, many people weren’t very pleased. Colorado needed approval from congress in order to become a state. Many states from the east didn’t consider much of Colorado. A newspaper in
Pennsylvania complained that, “Colorado consists of Denver, the Kansas Pacific Railway and scenery.” Also a newspaper in New York agreed and argued that, “There is something repulsive in the idea that a few handfuls of miners and reckless bushwhackers should have the same representation in the Senate as Pennsylvania, Ohio and New York.” All the negative comments towards Colorado wasn’t giving it a good appearance to congress. But Colorado got its statehood on August 1, 1876. When Colorado finally became a state in 1876, it wasn’t fully developed. Colorado was made up of only some towns. Those towns were mostly mining towns and things in them like stores were run by mining company’s. Colorado’s
