<span>Cultures have been creating celebratory ‘cakes’ (the term cake and bread were often interchangeable) for thousands of years. However, cakes, specifically for birthdays, similar to what we enjoy today, are believed to have originated in Germany in the 1400’s. Before that time, cakes were almost solely for the celebration of weddings but bakeries began to market them for birthdays as well. 
</span>

As with the marketing of birthday cakes, the addition of candles is also attributed to the Germans around the 1700’s when Kinderfesten, birthday celebrations for children, became more common. The custom was to place a candle for each year of their life as well as extra candles to represent years to come.

Lorico [155]

Answer:

The strengths of excluding other groups gave black people a stronger voice for what they wanted and not what other groups think they wanted. Black people were able to express themselves more comfortably this way. While when other groups were included, they were able to share their opinions and feel included, especially if they supported what black people were doing.

The weaknesses of excluding other groups could have made other minorities (Asian, Native American, etc.) feel as if they were not as worthy of being heard. White people may have felt a certain way about not being able to express and spread their sympathy with the black folk.

Involving everyone was an effective tactic. Even if some people were not black, it let them express their disapproval of segregation and it showed the nation that not all white people were racist and believed the nation should be split.
