The first residential schools opened in the 1840s, and by 1910 there were 74, mostly in western Canada. The residential school system separated many children from their families and communities and prevented them from speaking their own languages and from learning about their heritage and cultures. The federal government and the churches wanted students to abandon their ties to their Aboriginal culture and to become "civilized", that is mainstream Canadians. In most schools all evidence of Aboriginal culture was suppressed. The federal government began to phase out residential schools in the 1960s and by 1974 assumed full responsibility for the residential school system.

This declaration contains seventeen articles, which makes the justification for authority no longer the King’s will but the protection of the natural rights of man. However, this document does not acknowledge any rights of women whatsoever.
Bond touched on was the initiative of Blacks during his time of demonstrating. To convey this, he told the story of the fake election that was held in the fall of 1963. In part of what was called the Freedom Vote Campaign, Black candidates ran in an election that did not count for anything. The amazing thing about this story is that 80,000 Black people ended up voting in this election that did not matter. This was during a time when Blacks did not yet have the right to vote, and people’s argument for why they did not was because they were uninterested and illiterate.
INTRODUCTION: Before 1945, the white attitude to blacks was very different to how it is today. A lot needed changing, and it took a large amount of protests and court cases to do so. For example, blacks had no say in elections, and this was enforced with the grandfather clause (where they had to prove that men of two generations before them had been eligible to vote, which they couldn’t) or the literacy clause (where they had to prove they could read and write, which most of them couldn’t). Discrimination in education and employment had led to social deprivation, and many blacks in the North were living in ghettos. PUBLIC OPINION: During the war, black Americans did not approve of the slogan of the war that focused on equality and liberty, as to them it seemed hypocritical, because all they received was discrimination.
African Americans were still unequal to whites; twenty percent of the nation had been in poverty, and the defeat of Nazism and imperialism brought on a new enemy to freedom: Communism. It was apparent on both sides of the party line that politics needed to change. The democrats were exposed to the new left and the new liberalism and the republicans were faced with the new right. As well as political shifts in ideas the nation had to finally realize that after one hundred years of emancipation, African Americans remained without freedom. While segregation was
