Write a paragraph that explains why Kansas looked like the promised land of African Americans

1 answer:

7 0

With the promise of freedom and new economic and educational opportunities, Kansas attracted many African Americans in its territorial days, through statehood, and into the 20th century. Slavery existed in the Kansas Territory, but slave holdings were small compared to the South. Many black migrants also came to the territory as hired laborers, while some traveled as escaped slaves through the Underground Railroad. In the 1860s, others joined the Union Army, and some moved from the South in large groups during the Kansas Exodus, a mass migration of freedpeople during the 1870s and 1880s. As a territory that had a long and violent history of pre-Civil War contests over slavery, Kansas emerged as the “quintessential free state” and seemed like a promised land for African Americans who searched for what they called a “New Canaan.”

I have been serving overseas for the government

And the behavior is the United States is way

More courteous than it was once

There were many women who now

Got “regular” jobs to fill men’s spots at war

Rather than being circumscribed to take care

Of the house and kids like a maid

Soon, women really hope to

Gain the right to vote

And surely the government will be

Having to see it than women would be

Known as useful citizens of society

I am here

Just basically being purposely forced

To live here in both such mockery and anxiety

Some of the given stores that were provided

Have been sadly sabotaged

And one of our own were brutally killed by the noose

Non-American oppressions are being tolerated

Not just the government but

Also by certain constitutional principles

That have basically been terminated

Other Americans infrequently treat us with admiration

Orchestras reject to composition or play the works

Of our homeland’s own composers

And German elements of the everyday

American life has really been changed

Jewish Americans

I have been treated without

Either respect or ever esteem

What’s observed closely were

The newspapers, labor unions, and socialists

Whenever any person would speak

Out anything against the war

We were then hushed and then told

That it is obligatory or essential

Even though I mainly feel as if many people

Have really been forced to take

The rules and regulations into our own hands

Yet the government still is overpowering us

The Ku Klux Klan is now

Having views of an anti-Semitic

The government is going little to assist us

The nerve of the government not helping

I have been experiencing discrimination

Every day in my life

There were people banding in unison

To support the war’s effort

Then created many organizations

To support both raise money and the troops

<em>Mark this as BRAINLIEST This took lot of work!!!</em>

In order to maximize profits early in the nineteenth century, what was a common practice of business owners?

Natasha_Volkova [10]

A common practice was to pay ridicilously small wages to workers themselves and pay even less to children and women who were working at factories. Another thing that was done was to either import foreign workers who would have to work for even less, or to move production to companies overseas where they would set up a distribution and where workers themselves would also have to work for very small amounts of money. This increased their profit margins.
