Wells blames a system in which racist ideology and violence against blacks has become a norm.

She describes in her text that there is an "unwritten law" that whites in particular white women, are in danger when living surrounding by blacks. The lynchings are public and made into a media spectacle. This behavior supports the mob, encourages the mob, and escalates the violence taking place because it literally supported or at the very least no one speaks out against it.

Lynching in America became common following the passage of the Civil War amendments and the end of Reconstruction. To maintain power structure in states where whites were completely outnumbered by blacks, fear and violence ruled. Ida B. Wells was considered a "muckraker", a journalist who exposed the muck or dirt of society. She investigated and exposed the lynching culture of the South. Despite, the support and disgust by many Americans who read her work, no anti-lynching law ever went to effect.

Where was the first major battle for African American troops in the Union army?
Tom [10]
The correct answer is the Battle of Port Hudson (also known as the Siege of Port Hudson.)

This battle took place from March of 1863 until July of 1863. This battle between the Union and Confederacy fighting over a strategic location along the Mississippi River. The goal of the Union army was to take over Port Hudson from Confederate control. Continuing to take over different ports along the Mississippi River would give the Union a significant advantage, as it would limit the amount of supplies the Confederates could send to each other.
