<span>By refusing to give up her seat to a white man on a Montgomery, Alabama, city bus in 1955, black seamstress Rosa Parks (1913—2005) helped initiate the civil rights movement in the United States. The leaders of the local black community organized a bus boycott that began the day Parks was convicted of violating the segregation laws. Led by a young Rev.

Over on the Island, a worm of yellow convicts came from the shadow of a building and crawled slowly along the river's bank.

The main reason Democrats opposed the American system gave the government too large a role in the economy.
We are talking about the idea of Senator Henry Clay to implement the "American System." The Democrats totally opposed his project because they considered that the system gave the federal government a big role and more power to intervene in the American economy.
Clay's American System included a special tariff that aimed to over-protect the industry of the United States, federal subsidies to improve the American infrastructure such as roads and public services, and the creation of a national bank to impulse trade.
