1 answer:

8 0

It was a time of mass production but due to a mentality of high production and low wages consumerism couldn't keep up. America was overproducing and with companies losing money people started to get laid off. Further spurring the Great Depression was the Stock Market Crash, with people buying stock on credit and people eventually discarding their stock in a mad dash it crashed. Despite the fact that the crash only affected a small percentage of the population it trickled down due to the fact that these were business owners. Unemployment rates skyrocketed.

On the bright side...the beginning of the 1920s was the end of a war and a huge economic boom. (Stock Market Crash didn't happen until 1929) Prohibition led to an era of rebellious teens, women drank and smoked, dressed "scandalously", and overall gained more freedom

Many former confederates resented the new state constitutions imposed by radical republicans because their provisions allowed for black voting and civil rights.

Black men won the right to vote in 1870, but black women were effectively outlawed until the Voting Rights Act of 1965 was passed. When the United States Constitution was ratified (1789), a small number of free blacks were among the voting citizens (men). a landowner in some states).

Overview. A civil right is an enforceable right or privilege that gives rise to a claim of infringement if interfered with by a third party. Discrimination occurs when an individual's civil rights are denied or compromised because he or she belongs to a particular group or class.
