I thought that they wanted to preserve the republican society by molding republican machines. They have already inflicted so much of their ways onto African Americans. They would be better to coexist with than Native Americans. I highly doubt that if the African Americans were freed and sent back to Africa that they would fall right back into the flow of things. After being a slave for so long it would be impossible to go back to Africa and not live like an American especially for those people who were either enslaved at a very young or born into slavery.
Nicole McCray Dr. Davis POL-100 10/08/12 Alice Paul Alice Paul was one of the most significant figures in the movement to secure women’s rights in America. As educated, Paul used radical political strategies to produce favorable results for the Women’s Suffrage movement. Her militant actions eventually led to the ratification of the 19th amendment which secured women’s right to vote. Alice was born in Paulsdale on Jan 11, 1885 to William and Tacie Paul who eventually had two more children after Alice. Alice’s parents were Quakers, and instilled their religious beliefs into her.
The north would write books, and newspapers, and give speeches about the wrongs of slavery, but the south wasn't giving in. Though slavery wasn't abolished in the south, in the north, African Americans were given the right to vote. This cause many slaves to try to escape their owners, to get to the north, where they would be free. Because African Americans now had the right to vote, women found it unfair that they still did not have the right to vote. Many women, including Elizabeth Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, took action to gain their right.
At the 1920’s party my group presented one of the main event of the 1920’s that has changed history ever since. That event was women suffrage. Women today have the right to vote because of the very brave women from the 1920’s who stood up for their rights and got what they deserved and made ratifying the 19th amendment possible.
Woman worked as office workers or as telephone operators and eventually wer e able to use birth control legally. Mainly the white women were granted those freedoms, black women mainly worked in southern cotton fields. Women had to fight for their right to vote and now many women hold political positions, no matter what their race. Obviously our country benefited from the Progressive era, many of the privileges we have today are because America was ambitious and wanted to expand and did so
Plantations were a big part of the economy in the South because that’s where they grew their cotton, and without slaves, the plantations would die. The economy was a cause in the Civil War because the North and South started to realize who wanted slaves and who didn’t. Another important cause of the Civil War was conflict between the North and the South about the issue of slavery. Slavery was a big issue in the South, whereas the North yearned for the abolish of slave labor. According to Document 1, Railroads were slim in the South, for the reason that slaves would have an easy way to escape.
Blacks people were slaves in the past. The white people bought them and wanted them work for themselves. When president Lincoln freed all the African-American, the slave owners especially who are farmers were very angry with that, because they lost free workers who was earning money for them. Also, many African-American were not getting a good education and that time. Many of them can not find jobs in the society, but they need money to live.
Those of African ancestry faced many struggles and obstacles after slavery. Even after gaining Emancipation in 1834, slaves in the British West Indies were still forced into other forms of unpaid labor. Instead of being owned by masters, they became impoverished free citizens. Their poverty made them desperate for work, therefore turning them into a cheap form of labor for the white supremacists. This created a new definition of owning slaves, now being owned by those who paid them a meager
People born into poor families do not have every opportunity as those with money. It is known that blacks, especially in the south, during the years after the civil war, people did not hire blacks. African Americans were not educated so they could not work and if they did work it was for little money because employers knew they could hire
Because of the large nature of the populace in the early days in America men and women, especially African American, without property were denied their rights to vote. In the American republic, such people were not accorded full citizenship rights. However, the people fought these archaic rules to liberate themselves. The historical struggle of the black people in America attained a peculiar significance in American history. The struggle by the African Americans ensured that the black people attained not only full citizenship, but also redefined the ongoing struggle for civil rights and liberties and how reliable governance should be implemented.
