Emmett Till was from Chicago. Why is this significant

History
1 answer:

Answer:

Emmett Till's death started the Chicago Race Riots of 1919.

Explanation:

The summer of 1919 is known as the "Red Summer" because several race riots occurred within this time period. As veterans returned from fighting in WWI, many in the black community believed that having fought in the war would grant them respect and racial equality, however this was not the case. This, along with existing tensions created by overcrowding (an effect of the Great Migration) meant that racial tensions in Chicago were high. After Emmett Till was murdered, his mother had him returned home for an open casket funeral. His funeral, along with the death of another black boy, incited protests that turned into violent riots when police and white bystanders interfered. The Chicago Race Riot of 1919 is particularly famous for having been deadly and incredibly destructive, though it was not the only riot to occur that summer.

Overall how did the United States change from the Election of 1800 through Thomas jefferson’s first term of President. (answer i
Sav [38]

The election of 1800 was fiercely contested and facilitated the rise of the two-party system and bitter partisanship.

Upon entering office, Jefferson focused on reducing the national debt he had inherited from his predecessors. His administration lowered excise taxes while slashing government spending. Additionally, the Jefferson administration reduced the size of the Navy, ultimately bringing the national debt down from $83 to $57 million. Foreign developments, however, including the intensification of piracy along the Barbary Coast, would necessitate the rebuilding of the Navy and its establishment as a permanent part of the US government.

Jefferson dealt with two major challenges to US authority: piracy along the Barbary Coast of North Africa, and British impressment, which resulted in Jefferson instating a mass embargo of European goods, the Embargo Act of 1807.

Jefferson authorized the Louisiana Purchase, which effectively doubled the territory of the United States.

Anvisha [2.4K]
Here we are talking about Hideki Tojo was a prime minister and also the war minister of Japan and he lists several reasons why it would hard to pull the troops:

1. They sent  too many people there and it would be hard to bring them back. They have sent about one million troops over to China. It is really hard to transport that many people.

2. There were a lot of dead and wounded, about 100.000 people.
