Why do you think the lynching of emmett till became a catalyst in the national movement for civil rights?

History

Emmett Till was a teenage boy who was visiting his grandparents in Mississippi when he was killed. Supposedly Emmett whistled at a white female store owner after making a purchase. When the women's husband, Roy Bryant, found out about this situation he recruited JW Milam (his brother in law) to find the boy and punish him.

Ultimately, Bryant and Milam find Emmett Till at his grandparent's house. From there they kidnap him, beat him to death, and then throw him in a river where his body is found a few days later. These two men were accused of homicide but found guilty by an all white jury.

This scenario of brutal violence against a young man who did nothing to hurt anyone is one of the reasons why this was a catalyst for the Civil Rights movement. Millions of Americans all over the country were in shock to hear about the violence and rallied around this scenario as a means to advocate for civil rights.

Margarita [4]

Answer:

Explanation: After being considered inferior beings to whites and being subjected to slavery in earlier times, the lives of African Americans gradually changed for good, especially since the Third Amendment was promulgated in December 1865, where abolition was established of slavery in most states of the country. In the same way it happened with the Fourteenth Amendment where said population was obtaining benefits such as US citizenship. Continuing with the fifteenth amendment, which promulgated the right to vote to the African-American population. All these were positive factors that improved their quality of life notoriously.

Why did the mughal emperor recognize the right of the british east india company to collect taxes on in northeast asia?
Elis [28]

Because they needed the protection of the East India Company (EIC) to preserve the Mughal authority. After one century of prosperity the Mughal empire was facing its own decline. Different emperors raise to throne and did very little to save the empire from its collapse.

They faced several fights among claimers to the throne and eventually civil war. Much of the Mughal treasures were looted. In response, the British from the EIC gained trading rights, such as collect taxes, and ultimately political power.
