Question 11 Unsaved

History

Answer:  majority vote by the people living there (states' legislatures).

Explanation:

"Popular" means a vote by the populace, the people (or through their representatives in legislatures).

"Sovereignty" refers to where power or authority lies.

So "popular sovereignty" means that the people of the states had authority over their own territory's approach to the slavery issue.

The Civil War was fought over both the issue of "states' rights" (the idea of each state's popular sovereignty), as well as the issue of slavery, which was ended in the United States after the Civil War.   From that point on, at least on the issue of slavery, states could not decide their own path.  The 13th Amendment was added to the US Constitution and made slavery illegal in all states.

Here's what the 13th Amendment said:

  • <em>Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction. </em>
  • <em> Section 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation</em>

A paragraph about What were some problems that arose during the Gilded Ages in America?
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

The pace of industrialization and westward expansion in the latter part of the nineteenth century suggested that the United States had reached a new golden age.  However, the nation still faced many problems, including the distance between people’s dreams of wealth and the reality of their sometimes difficult lives.  This period during the late nineteenth century is often called the Gilded Age, implying that under the glittery, or gilded, surface of prosperity lurked troubling issues, including poverty, unemployment, and corruption. Segregation and Social Tensions, racial inequality was a persistent problem during the Gilded Age.  African Americans, other minorities, and women struggled in a losing battle as they sought to gain equality.Following the Civil War, during the Reconstruction southern states passed laws that separated blacks and whites.  These laws were known as Jim Crow laws.  In 1896 the Supreme court upheld segregation with its ruling in the Plessy v. Ferguson case.  The court ruled that segregation was legal as long as “separate but equal” facilities for both races were provided.  However, the facilities for blacks were almost always inferior.During the same time states passed laws such as poll taxes and literacy tests that stripped blacks of the right to vote.
