8 0

There are many answers to this question. The first thing to understand this was an era spanning from the 1890s to the end of WWI. Black Americans were trying to leave the south because of the Jim Crow laws and unfair voting circumstances happing in southern states. Soon after the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863, we see mass outrage. The first KKK was funded. To flee the angry South, black Americans tried to find work in factories in the north. Many believed that going north would solve their problems. Many black men enlisted in WWI in hopes of a guaranteed job, but soon found out the military was segregated and they revived lower wages.

Of the various approaches to the problem of slavery, which one do you find to be the most effective and why?

LenKa [72]

Answer:

explained

Explanation:

I think the abolition approach was the best because of the moral position of its argument against slavery. It was mostly peaceful, showing that blacks are not animals, and should not be treated like property, or inferior at all. Abolitionists exposed the immorality of slavery and how blacks are just as human and deserve the same rights and respect as whites do. Colonization was a horrible idea, and it dehumanized blacks. And slave rebellions were powerful way to show resistance and strength, but weren't as effective and didn't seem to work for many slaves died. Abolitionists saw peaceful resistance and powerful words more effective, and they were very influential in the actual abolition of slavery in the U.S. It helped using religious arguments against slavery, calling it a sin; I think this helped whites in America to understand and realize the reality of the slavery and how immoral it was.

the growth of Christianity among European peoples during the medieval period.

Explanation:

From the letter written by Christopher Columbus to King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain, it can be inferred that Mr. Columbus was asking for aid from the Spanish government to assist in his voyage for an expedition and in the second paragraph of the letter, he asks the Christians to rejoice because "our Redeemer has given this victory to our . . .King" and that they should exalt the Holy Trinity "for the exaltation of turning so many peoples to

our Holy Faith" which signifies the growth of Christianity among European peoples during the medieval period.
