The Northerners hated this law. It also caused many more people to look into abolitionism. I believe that these are some of the most important causes of the Civil War. These causes are Uncle Tom’s Cabin, the issue of slavery in the territories, and Northerners hating the fugitive slave law. As you can see, they are very important contributing factors in causing the Civil
Kristallnatch the prelude to the Holocaust, kristallnatch was an open attack on the Jewish community in Germany, named for the broken glass of the windows of Jewish businesses destroyed in that night. In this essay we will study the antecedents of kristallnatch, what happened in that night and what were the consequences of that act. Kristallnatch's Antecedents, with the night of broken glass began an open and systematic persecution of Jews on the 3rd reich. The 3rd Reich had been persecuting Jews but not openly, in 1938 20000 German Jews from polish origin were kidnapped and deported to Poland. On 7 November 1938, Grynszpan a Jew who had escaped to France shot Von Rath a secretary of the German Embassy in France for denying help to Grynszpan's parents who were deported to Poland.
The formation of the Ku Klux Klan was one of the major contributing factors to the long bloody struggle that was racism in America. The Klan is classified as a hate group, and throughout three summits in history forced blacks and other minorities to live in a fear that they did not deserve. The Ku Klux Klan was founded in 1866 by a group of men including John D. Kennedy, Captain John C. Lester and Frank O. McCord, among others, in Pulaski, Tennessee. “The name was derived from the Greek word kylos, meaning ‘circle’. ‘Klan was added for the purpose of alliteration” (“Ku Klux Klan”).
He believed it was “a crime for anyone who is being brutalized to continue to accept that brutality without doing something to defend himself.” This corresponds with the second amendment in the United States Constitution: the right of individuals to keep and bear arms. Therefore, when someone is in an hostile environment, he or she can use violence a gun to defend or protect others. Also,“when the laws fails to protect Negroes from whites’ attack, then those Negroes should use arms, if necessary, to defend themselves.” During the 1960s, there were countless of Sibley 2 African American’s getting persecuted and lynched just because of their skin color. Nonviolence would not protect anyone when a member of the KKK, or other extreme racists, would come toward someone with murderous and homicidal
In What Ways Did Black Americans Secure Improved Civil Rights: 1945-1964? Black Americans had often been looked down upon by White Americans and always suffered racial prejudice. Their struggle for equal racial rights had begun from the end of slavery in 1865, only until the late 1960’s did significant improvement was made. Following the events and ending of World War II, Black Americans began what would become known as the Civil Rights Movement. In 1951, the father of a black student named Linda Brown sued the Board of Education because a white school had prevented Brown from attending a school which was only seven blocks away, compared to the segregated black school she was attending which was more than seven blocks away from her home.
Part 1 of the book details the Klan and their view of the changing workplace. The Klan’s view towards African Americans was unreal and irrational to say the least. Mclean explains in the text how the Klan believed that African Americans were symbols of “the propertyless population” who threatened to
The KKK were terrifying to many people in the 1920s & 1930s, the Klan were feared for many reasons, some of those were, they campaigned against immigrants such as blacks, Jews, and Catholics. Also the look of the KKK made them feared; they wore white robes and white conical hats which covered their faces. The Klan was also feared for the extrajudicial executions, or also known as lynching, on their victims. The Klan was also extremely powerful as well. They claimed to be a patriotic organisation trying to protect ‘American way of life’ devoted to ‘100% Americansim’.
A description on the activities of the Ku Klux Klan Ku Klux Klan had kept extremely busy throughout the latter part of United States History. However, the Ku Klux Klan was not established until after the end of the United States Civil War in which the South was badly damaged by the Reconstruction. It had created a lot of frustration and anger within the South. For that, many White Southerners had taken their anger and frustration upon the Blacks. They wanted to maintain White control and supremacy while oppressing the Blacks.
I believe the Montgomery bus boycott was the most important event in the 1950s -1960s in changing the civil rights for African-Americans, because this event gained internationally attention. On the 1st of December 1955 a white man requested for Rosa Parks’ seat however she refused as it seemed unreasonable. Leading her to be arrested, this act was very important because it went against the Jim Crow which was created to force segregation in public school systems, kept many African-Americans from moving out of segregated neighbourhoods and often made it difficult for African-Americans to vote. Overall it was very unfair to the black community, as a result the black community in Alabama started a non-violent boycott of the buses, leaving buses only half full this had a major financial impact on bus companies as it was the black community who used buses the most and the event was lead by Martin Luther King. This event was important because it gained international attention which put pressure on the different structures of the American government to make changes, and finally in 1965 the Supreme Court ruled that segregation on buses was illegal.
How did Martin Luther King campaign against prejudice and discrimination in USA? America in the 20th century was a highly racist society, especially in the southern states. Black people were treated unfairly and discriminated against, white people justified the situation by saying the black race were inferior. In 17 states throughout America, there were laws segregating the black from the whites in places like parks, cafes, buses, public toilets, swimming pools and even drinking fountains. Black people also had separate schools and universities, the white schools had more money.
