The liberal philosophy, created by George Washington Cable, “challenged the Redeemer’s philosophy that the South must have ‘honest’ government before it could aspire to ‘free government, and maintained that there could be neither free nor honest government without equal rights and protection for all citizens” (46). The conservative philosophy acknowledged that, “Negroes belonged in a subordinate role, but denied that the subordinates had to be ostracized […] segregated, or publically humiliated.” (48). The conservative philosophy was undoubtedly aristocratic and paternalistic (49). It drew on the differences of class amongst the whites by associating the disgust of black and white contact with the attitudes of lower-class whites (50) as well as the need of political Negro support. The Southern radical philosophy was strongly based on equalitarianism.
To fight racial discrimination, Du Bois founded the Niagara Movement in 1905 (Document F). The movement placed the responsibility for racial problems in the United States on Whites. It urged Blacks to fight for what they are entitled to and thus opposed the views of Booker T. Washington, who pressured Blacks to stop demanding equal rights. Du Bois strongly promoted education for Blacks. Without education, millions of Blacks would not qualify for jobs.
The historic figure I choose is Nelson Mandela. Nelson Mandela has one of those personalities who has changed the course of history through their courage, dedication, and bravery. South Africa, a country mainly inhabited by its natives was being ruled by a tiny minority of Caucasians. If there was a rule of law or a rule that ensures the human rights of all people without any discrimination on the basis of race, it would have not been acceptable. But Africa's government was the worst example of racialism and violation of the human rights.
Two of his best used examples were the the popular propaganda speeches made by slave owners in attempt to gain allegiance against the North and the South’s almost hatred of the Republican Party as a whole. One key example that Dew provided was the use of scare tactics by the pro-slave Southerners. In an effort to build an alliance through the South, Southern leaders would use emotion to gain support of the common people. They would give examples of what would happen to them and their families if blacks would be free. These examples would explain how the lives of Southerners would be ruined and that the country would come to an end if slaves were freed.
That is why he wanted the slaves to be freed and removed from the United States all together. He feared of a revolt by them for all the cruel things that were done to them. Thomas Jefferson didn’t hold the views he felt for one group for the other. The African Americans who were brought to America to be slaves that they forced to live how they wanted them to could not coexist with them but the Native Americans who had their own society and their own way of life they could be civil with. I thought that they wanted to preserve the republican society by molding republican machines.
These include the achievements: of Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) and National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People l (NAACP). The Ruling of BROWN (1954) overturning PLESSY V. Ferguson made any form of discrimination and segregation unconstitutional and illegal while the events of Little Rock forced the Government to enforce BROWN more diligently. Personalities such as Martin Luther King greatly
‘Key individuals rather than organised campaigns were the real force for change in the achievement of equal rights for Americans’ Social inequality segregation and racism has held a heavy burden over African Americans in the history of United States. Being treated as a second class of human beings was something that the coloured people of America had to live with. Powerful individuals pushing for the triumph of equivalent rights for all Americans were the courage and determination behind the ongoing fight against the violent injustice that the white people of America cruelly imposing upon the Black society. The act of civil rights in 1964 was the transformation that the colored people of America had hoped for. The Americans were finally free from the gruelling oppression
Gandhi stood up and he became a leader to the people in India. He was unhappy with the foreign power in his home country. Also this is what happened with Nelson Mandela in South Africa fighting against the law of apartheid, to gain equal rights for the black majority in that country. This law prevented the blacks in South Africa to live a normal life. This all changed when Nelson Mandela decided to start fighting for the equal rights of the the blacks.
For instance, they raised questions on racism and race. Many white abolitionists practiced racial prejudice even though abolitionism was termed as a strong interracial movement formed in the U.S. therefore the abolitionists aimed at ending racial segregations which prevailed in the nation. Differences occurred between the white and black abolitionists on the issue of race and how they could overcome social and institutional racism. Some of them campaigned for a society which was colorblind whereby race was not to be acknowledged in any way and that it didn’t matter anywhere. While other abolitionists argued that racial differences and race were not to be ignored, and they had to be given acknowledgement
Before beginning of the civil war, Americans believed that powerful national government had problems to their freedom and that state and local authorities could best defend rights of the citizens. They also made a way for future congresses and federal courts to explain guarantee of equality. During 1870s the efforts of federal government to raise and defend former slaves was seen by white Americans as a way of favoritism, which discriminate against white population (Foner,
