What obstacles kept most black citizens from being able to vote

History
1 answer:
tester [92]4 years ago
5 0
Selma: The Bridge to the Ballot is the story of a courageous group of Alabama students and teachers who, along with other activists, fought a nonviolent battle to win voting rights for African Americans in the South. Standing in their way, a century of Jim Crow, a resistant and segregationist state, and a federal government slow to fully embrace equality. By organizing and marching bravely in the face of intimidation, violence, arrest and even murder, these change-makers achieved one of the most significant victories of the civil rights era.

Discuss the different working conditions of slaves in the antebellum south.
BaLLatris [955]
In the antebellum south, slaves did free labor. Slaves were considered property, and they were property because they were black. Their status as property was enforced by violence -- actual or threatened. Besides planting and harvesting, there were numerous other types of labor required on plantations and farms. Enslaved people had to clear new land, dig ditches, cut and haul wood, slaughter livestock, and make repairs to buildings and tools. In many instances, they worked as mechanics, blacksmiths, drivers, carpenters, and in other skilled trades. Black women carried the additional burden of caring for their families by cooking and taking care of the children, as well as spinning, weaving, and sewing.

Some slaves worked as domestics, providing services for the master's or overseer's families. These people were designated as "house servants," and though their work appeared to be easier than that of the "field slaves," in some ways it was not. They were constantly under the scrutiny of their masters and mistresses, and could be called on for service at any time. They had far less privacy than those who worked the fields.

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

He helped created modern astronomy.

Explanation:

In early 1610, he made the first in a remarkable series of discoveries. While the scientific doctrine of the day held that space was perfect, unchanging environments created by God, Galileo's telescope helped change that view.
