The sit-in movement originated with four African-American college students who wanted to test the segregationist policies of the Woolworth's lunch counter in Greensboro North Carolina. These four men sat at the lunch counter, refusing to move. Even though the police were called, they were not arrested on that first day. However, this was just the beginning of the movement. By the fourth day of protest, over three hundred African-American citizens packed the Woolworth's restaurant so if a group got arrested for sitting at the lunch counter, another group take their place.

The goal of this particular sit-in was to end the segregationist policy at this restaurant. This worked, as 6 months after the very first sit-in, the Woolworth's in Greensboro North Carolina changed their policy. This allowed all citizens, regardless of color, to sit and eat at their lunch counter.

5) According to John Green, why was Luther successful with his rebellion when others before him had failed?

gayaneshka [121]

5. According to John Green, Luther's success with the rebellion stemmed from his ability to, initially, make his teachings resonate with peasants and youths. But this resonance did not last long. Luther soon turned his teachings against the peasants in favor of the kings and princes.

6. Luther's or the peasants' argument about serfdom was correct. No one should endure bondage or serfdom, with increasing taxation without representation.

7. The reasons that Princes and Kings defied the Pope and broke away from the Church were to possess landed property formerly owned by the Church (Wealth), decide how they practiced religion (e.g. divorce), and boost their military powers (making people loyal to the government instead of to the Church).

8. The Reformation was ultimately a wrong move because it split the Church, creating too many denominations with different and confusing interpretations of the Bible. However, there are some valuable lessons. It separated the Church from the state. It created religious freedom.

The Church has no business mingling with the state. The Church and the state should remain separate, complementing each other like institutions. Governments should not regulate religion because it is a personal endeavor. It is a spiritual enterprise and not social or economic. There are some aspects of life in which the state should not involve itself. Otherwise, individual rights suffer jeopardy.

Thus, the Reformation was a bag of the good and the ugly. Reformation should happen within and not without the Church. Luther's outcome seems to be projected from Satan. Any Reformation outside the Church is no Reformation. It is simply Separation and Division, generating Confusion.
