On July 27, 1894, W.E.B. Du Bois sent a letter to Booker T. Washington, asking if there was a job opening for him at Tuskegee University. A month later Booker T. Washington replied and said that there was a position for a math professor but by then W.E.B DuBois had already accepted a position at Wilberforce University. A couple years went by and by 1906 both W.E.B DuBois and Booker T. Washington had become polar opposites. [ ] As is evident from his Atlanta Compromise speech Booker T. Washington advocated for slow accomodationism, which meant he did not want African Americans to violently protest their rights, and that they should just accept where they stand in society.
It has been happening since the first settlers came, and it happened time and time again until the whites on the Indian’s land occupied the east coast. There were numerous treaties signed by whites and Indians but were almost always encroached upon by the white settlers and their obsession of owning all the land. In the period between 1789 and 1830, there were political constitutional and practical concerns that were formed on America’s national Indian policies. These concerns were only considered by the settlers a problem in the later part of this period and were just minute complications in the
Wilson still took an interest in law though, and so for the next year he studied law on his own. In 1882, Wilson moved to Atlanta to start his own law firm, and was successful passing the Georgia bar exam, which is the exam that is needed to be taken to be approved and licensed to practice law.

The first Africans ever to set foot on American soil were brought over by a Dutch slave trader who traded his 20 or so African workers for some food in Jamestown, Virginia. The division of this country was due to slavery. While the northern states fought hard for freedom the southern states fought hard for their rights as states to keep slavery legal. The reason for the differences between the North and South can be traced back to one man, Eli Whitney. Whitney did not intend to have created such a
Robert Dahl and Charles Lindbolm suggest a pluralist view of democracy suggesting that pressure groups are beneficial to democracy. They enable political participation in national and local politics providing a role for individuals in the system. The work of pressure groups monitors the government and holds it to account and as a result can leak and expose information. As pressure groups aim to influence public policies either by direct action or lobbying and raising awareness of an issue as groups compete to influence policies and the government may take advice from them. Furthermore pressures groups are essential to democracy as they give the opportunity for minorities such as ethnic groups and genders to express distinctive points of view, encouraging people to become involved with decision making and public life forming a link between the government and the people.

n the book Democracy in America, Alexis de Tocqueville studies the American democracy. His goals were to figure out what creates failure and what creates success within a democracy. The book is written in two parts, the first part discusses the success and focuses on how the structures within the American Government help with maintaining freedom. The second part of the book focuses on the individual and their thoughts and roles in a democratic society. One of the main dangers Tocqueville expresses in his book is the danger that democratic nations face with their excessive need for equality.
After John Allen’s business went through a bit of hardship, he came into some money, and was able to send Edgar to the University of Virginia. However, he ended up being forced to go back to Richmond after having a $2,000 debt that he tried to get rid of by gamboling. This, though, only made things worse.
