Answer:
The work also tackles the complex relationship between Ireland and the anti-slavery movement. Douglass’s hosts in Ireland were mostly Quakers, many of whom were shielded from – and sometimes complicit in – the famine that was gripping the countryside. Similarly, many Irish in America were willing participants in slavery. Douglass’s meeting with Daniel O’Connell spurred the Irish leader to encourage the Irish community in America to support African-Americans in their fight against oppression. But his overtures went largely unheeded by the Irish political and Catholic community in the US, eager to ensure that their own people secured opportunities in their adopted country. The irony is captured in Kinahan’s work. In an interaction between Douglass and an Irish woman about to leave Cork for America, he informs her that the Irish had not always treated his people well. She replies: “Well then they’ve forgotten who they are.”
But ultimately, the work is concerned with exploring this important moment in Douglass’s life and its role in his development as a thinker and activist. As Daugherty says, Douglass’s experience in Ireland widened his understanding of what civil rights could encompass. “Douglass was much more than an anti-slavery voice. He was also a suffragette, for example, an advocate for other oppressed groups.”
Douglass himself captured the impact of his Irish journey in a letter he wrote from Belfast as he was about to leave: “I can truly say I have spent some of the happiest moments of my life since landing in this country. I seem to have undergone a transformation. I live a new life.”
Explanation:
Two of the major ways in which the Civil War amendments (commonly referred to as the Reconstruction Amendments) added to individual freedoms was that they abolished slavery and involuntary servitude (with the 13th Amendment) and made it so every US citizen had equal protection under the law (with the 14th amendment).
Answer:
The Seven Years War and The American Revolution
Explanation:
The american colonies were the jewels in the crown of the British and French Empires. Therefore, by definition the politics going on in Europe significantly impacted the decisions made in the American Colonies.
The Seven Years War was a major European conflict that had political consequences for the colonies. The North American extension of the war is termed the French -Indian War and was fought by the French and British colonists, supported by Native American allies. The war was very important for the colonies as they provided the majority of the fighting force. The british political decision to provide significant resources to the North American theatre had profound consequence. Not only did it increase american unity, it also increased the martial skill of the colonial troops. Men like George Washington were trained by the British in order to fight the war. Furthermore, there were also the change of territory as a result of the war. The political shift in Europe of French dominance to British dominance resulted in the increase of territories in the america. This not only included land in Canada becoming British but also Florida.
The American revolution is another example of how European Political changes affected the colonies. Obviously the outcome of the revolution was a huge change for the 13 and led to the establishment of the United States of America and the establishment of the presidency, congress and Supreme Court. The political decision of Britain to tax its North American Colonies in order to pay off the debt that it had accrued defending and enlarging them directly led to the revolution. The chant of the Americans was "No taxation without representation" and that can be traced back to a political decision by Britain to continue to tax its colonies without giving them sufficient representation.
