Answer: A statement against the evil of the slave trade.

Details:

In his original draft of the Declaration, Jefferson condemned the slave trade carried on by the British. (Yes, Jefferson himself owned slaves he had inherited, but saw an eventual emancipation of slaves as something that would need to be done over time.) The paragraph in the draft of the Declaration said that the King of England "has waged cruel war against human nature itself, violating its most sacred rights of life and liberty" by capturing, transporting and selling human beings from the distant land of Africa. He called the "market where men should be bought and sold" an "execrable commerce" carried on by authority of the British crown. ("Execrable" is an adjective related to excrement -- something extremely nasty.)

Georgia and South Carolina would not join in voting for independence from Britain unless the paragraph about the evil of the slave trade was omitted, and so it was omitted from the final version.

That would be the statement about slavery.

In the first draft of the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson wrote a lengthy part about the evils of slavery. In the paragraph that was later left out Jefferson is actually blaming the king for the issue of slavery. We see here that it is seen that slavery is the sin committed by Britain. The exclusion of this paragraph tells us that slavery was an issue even when the United States were deciding to fight for their independence.

(1)Racial segregation, which was seen as the legal separation of different races of people due only to their specific background, was first instituted by the “Jim Crow laws”. These were instituted and employed from the end of the 1800s until the latter part of the 1900s. These laws set forth that all public areas of interest be racially segregated. Although whites believed this as an obvious effective institution of the belief in the statements of “separate but equal” doctrine, which used to take up residence within United States Constitutional law, all that occurred as a result was more harm than anything else. As a result of the passing of such laws of segregation, individuals were subjected to maltreatment, as well as a plethora of serious disadvantages.

(2)One of his first actions was to order the "whites only" and "colored only" signs removed from the Capitol's restrooms. He also declared his intent to make the state comply with the 1954 Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education, which declared segregation in the public schools unconstitutional. In a statewide radio address, he said: "I feel sure that defiance of the Supreme Court mandate will not be tolerated. School boards which might entertain such ideas will find themselves on their own. Certainly the State of Oklahoma cannot possibly defend such action."As part of his effort, he won passage of an amendment to the state Constitution that discarded the financing of separate schools for whites and blacks. "He led the state through the initial integration era and successfully integrated our schools without any of the violence and complications that erupted in many of the Southern states," said former Gov. Henry Bellmon.

What are the rock chambers in ancient india used for

Papessa [141]

Answer:

It is there history of there creativity of making the design of the Rock for Kings and other richer people so that their place can look better then any other

Explanation:

Indian rock-cut architecture has more examples than any other form of rock-cut architecture in the world.

[1] Rock-cut architecture defines the practice of creating a structure by carving it out of solid natural rock. The craftsman removes rock not part of the structure until the architectural elements of the excavated interior constitute the only rock left. Indian rock-cut architecture, for the most part, is religious in nature.

[2] In India, caves have long been regarded as places of sanctity. Enlarged or entirely man-made caves hold the same sanctity as natural caves. The sanctuary in all Indian religious structures, even free standing ones, retain the same cave-like feeling of sacredness, being small and dark without natural light.

Curiously, Buddhist monks created their cave hermitages near trade routes that crossed northern India during the time of Christ. As wealthy traders became aware of the Buddhist caves, they became benefactors of expansion of the caves, the building of monolithic rock-cut temples, and of free-standing temples. Emperors and rulers also supported the devotional work and participated in the spiritual devotional services. Very likely, traders would use the hermitages for worship on their routes. As Buddhism weakened in the face of a renewed Hinduism during the eighth century C.E., the rock structure maintenance, expansion, and upgrading fell to the Hindus and Jains. Hindu holy men continued building structures out of rock, dedicating temples to Hindu gods like Shiva, until mysteriously they abandoned the temples around the twelfth century C.E. They abandoned the structures so completely that even local peoples lost knowledge of the awesome structures in their midst. Only in the nineteenth century, when British adventurers and explorers found them, did India rediscover the awesome architecture that comprises world treasures.

(10 points) Question 6 Unsaved How was Baton Rouge connected to the famous bus boycott led by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in Mont

PIT_PIT [208]

Question 6: The correct answer is the last option. Baton Rouge bus boycott’s in 1953 is connected with Martin Luther King’s bus boycott in Montgomery (1955) by being its model for strategy, tactics, and execution. The boycott in Baton Rouge was provoked by the law that states that Africa-American citizens can’t sit in front of the bus (even If it’s empty) or near white people. When Martin Luther King became inspired with the boycott in Baton Rouge, he spoke with Rev. T.J. Jamison, who organized the boycott, about the fight with social injustice and later inspired securing the tight to vote.

Question 7: The correct is the last statement. Non-violent protest was more effective because it was more forceful and direct as well as peaceful and civil. Non-violent protest was inspired by protests of Mahatma Gandhi who led Indian independence movement from British authority. His non-violent methods became powerful tool for political or social change. Martin Luther King was inspired by Gandhi and applied his non-violent methods in Civil Rights Movement from 1956. to 1968.

Question 8: The phrase “with all deliberate speed” is important for Civil Rights Movement because it represents decision of Supreme Court to desegregated schools by race and not by gender in South. After long term of series of legal battles for desegregation, the issue made its way to the Supreme Court that ruled in favor of Brown v. Board of Education and segregation on ground of race in schools was ended.

Question 9: The section 201 of the Civil Rights Act passed in 1964. applies to all persons, no matter their race, color, religion, or national origin. The law states that no matter race, religion or nation origin, all people have the same rights in public places or public accommodations (hotels, inns, motels, cafeterias, restaurants, gasoline stations etc.)

<span>Question 10: The correct answer is second statement: they were refused service. Section 201 of the Civil Rights Act passed in 1964. now promises full and equal enjoyments of services, goods, facilities, and privileges in public accommodations or any other public spaces (hotels, inns, motels, cafeterias, restaurants, gasoline stations etc.).</span>
