History

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.

Do you think the American Revolution would have happened if there had not been an Age of Enlightenment?
Leto [7]
Yes, I do think so.

The reason for this is that I think it would be likely that people born and raised in America would feel that Great Britain, which was far away and did not understand Americans' needs and situations, should not rule over them. So I feel that a similar struggle for independence would have happened anyway.

tresset_1 [31]
This depends greatly on the time period in question, since for a long time it was Irish immigrants who were coming to the United States in great numbers, but yes, mostly it was German immigrants.

Give two details for the main idea C. The fourteenth Amendment gave certain civil rights to Americans.
Jet001 [13]

The fourteenth Amendment provides equal protection for Americans. This means that no matter your age, race, gender, religion, etc, you will be treated equally by the government. Another one is immunity. This basically means that the states cannot take away certain rights we get from the Constitution. There are numerous rights the fourteenth Amendment give us and those are just two.
