The Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill was re-introduced in subsequent sessions of Congress and passed by the U.S. House of Representatives on January 26, 1922, but its passage was halted in the Senate by a filibuster by Southern Democrats, who formed a powerful block that exceeded their percentage of the population
There were several factors that inspired the Latin American independence movements in the early 1800s. One factor was the success of the American Revolution. Our revolution showed other countries that it was possible to rebel against a strong colonial power. Our revolution also explained under what circumstances a revolution would be justified. The people in the Latin American countries believed these conditions existed in their countries.
Furthermore, the people in Latin American countries weren’t happy with the rule by Spain. The Spanish wouldn’t allow free trade. The colonies had to trade with Spain, even if they could get products cheaper from other countries. The Spanish rarely gave government jobs to people born in the Americas. These jobs went to people born in Spain. This made many people, especially the Creoles, unhappy. When Napoleon invaded Spain in 1808, the door was open for the revolutions to begin. Napoleon’s brother now ruled Spain, and people in the colonies felt no loyalty to him. Which lead for the people of Latin America to know that is was a good time to revolt against Spain.
Also, many Latin American countries became independent between 1810-1825.
After the American Civil war (1861 -1865) and the victory of the Union, a process of Reconstruction (1865-1877) took place. This process aimed to transform the 11 ex-confederated states in a "republican form of government" via laws and constitutional amendments.
The Southerners felt Northerners were getting rich at their expense because since the end of the war many moved to the south as social reformers. Several of them were businessmen who acquired or rented plantations and became wealthy landowners, choosing freedmen to do the labor. Following the Civil War, Northerners often obtained plantations at fire-sale rates. Because of this, they were commonly considered to be taking advantage of those living in the South.
It only appeared to be so. The roaring twenties was soon followed by the Great Depression, I believe, and lots of people suffered during that time.
