Duncan Campbell Scott was a deputy minister of Indian Affairs who attempted to eradicate Canada’s indigenous peoples in the 1920s. Scott believed that by using residential schools consistently, the government could "kill the Indian in the child." He carried out his plans with ruthless efficiency, attempting to assimilate all indigenous people into the white cultural majority of the day. Children often died in residential schools, suffering from diseases such as tuberculosis. Scott’s legacy is an embarrassing stain on Canada’s past.

Henry Ford is the founder of Ford motor cars. He revolutionized the way cars were being made by inventing the moving assembly line. An assembly line was on a conveyer belt that moved. Each worker would do the same job all day long, so they would get really good at their job. This meant that cars could be made much more efficiently and quickly than before. Ford cut the number of hours workers were required to do, while also paying them more. This became known as “Fordism”. This was a revolutionary approach to work in the 1920s.
