Probably the most significant impact caused by World War II in advancing Civil Right for Blacks was revealing the horrors that could be caused if racism ‘went on too far’ because this sudden realisation caused many White Americans to begin opposing all racism at all circumstances. Revealing that Hitler exterminated over six million Jews due to their race caused many people to think twice about their racist attitudes. World War II also gave Blacks more self esteem and confidence. Black soldiers were appalled to know they were fighting a racist opponent yet being treated as second hand citizens and receiving prejudice treatment back home, so the ‘Double V’ campaign was launched to gain victory against overseas

The problem with hate groups are that they skew views people have about other races causing them to themselves become racist subconsciously. Studies have taken place at Stanford university as well as the university at California berkley that have studied racism and subconscious racism are still a very prominent aspect of humanity. Part of the problem in the unsuccessful attempts to kill racism is that there are people who don't admit that it's real anymore. Acceptance is a viable part if repentance.
Jefferson believes that slavery should be abolished because not only did it deprive the Black’s right to liberty, it also undermined the self control white men had to self republic. However, Jefferson felt that if the blacks were to be excluded from the nation and immediately removed from the Country if they were to be freed. The reason Jefferson wanted Blacks to get exported from the country was because he feared that they would retaliate with hatred from all the suffering they have endured from the power and merciless force of the white men. Jefferson not only feared the blacks, he also
8.

4,000 people that had taken part in sit-ins had been arrested, transforming the struggle for civil rights into a genuine social movement . The Greensboro Woolworths finally began serving blacks six months after the sit-in began. These students went against a system and helped the nation realize that this system evidenced racial inequality and injustice, all of which this democracy is supposed to oppose. The Greensboro students were afraid they would be arrested, beaten or even killed, but they were determined to stand up for their rights and the rights of all African Americans which eventually lead to a great significance as it was the key to the movements success.

The most violent confrontations between people who believed in free soil ideology and people who were pro slavery took place in the Kansas territory prior to the start of the Civil War. Kansas became known as Bleeding Kansas as a result of the
This is a shocking example of racist violence in these times towards coloured voters. The Jim Crow era was an era of struggle, not just for those who suffered violence, cruelty and poverty, but for those who challenged it. Some people simply gave up and moved to the freer Northern states. This led to making conditions for the remaining African- Americans even worse due to fewer voters for pro-black parties. Sometimes they weren’t able to vote for fear of being lynched by racists.
President Theodore Roosevelt condemned the tendency toward smaller family sizes among white women as race suicide. He denounced family planning as "criminal against the race." As racism, lynchings, and poverty took their heavy toll on African Americans in the early twentieth century, fears of depopulation arose within a rising Black nationalist movement. These fears produced a pro-natalist shift in the views of African Americans. The change from relative indifference about population size to using population growth as a form of political currency presaged the inevitable conflict between those who believed in the right of Black women to exercise bodily self-determination and those who stressed the African-American community's need to foster political and economic
