How did segregation work as an instrument of social control?

History

Allisa [31]3 years ago

Segregation was an useful tool in preserving the economic and social dominance of the white southerners. With segregation the African Americans were being discriminated against and kept in socially inferior position thus enabling the whites to get better paying jobs and generally better positions thus continuing the cycle of economical dominance of the white southerners.

Now that you’ve reviewed the structure of congress, your’re ready to design your school’s legislature. In a full paragraph, expl
Brilliant_brown [7]
The structure of Congress is based on two major determiners: equal representation for all states and representation based on population.  The Senate has equal representation from each state by allowing exactly two senators from each state to be elected in.  The House of Representatives is literally representative of the people because the number of reps from each state is based on population, as a states population grows or shrinks compared with other states it's number of allowed representatives rises and falls.  For example, a state with a huge population like California has 53 reps while a state with significantly fewer residents, like Wyoming only has 1 rep.  Most states fall in between.

In my school's legislature I would have two houses to make sure there was balance in representation.  One house would have 3 students from each grade who were elected into their positions.  The other house would have representatives from every major club or interest group based on how popular that group is.  For example, there are a lot of athletes at this school so there might be 5 representatives elected to speak and vote on behalf of their group.  There are much less people involved in yearbook so they would have 1-2 representatives.  The legislative houses could meet regularly to discuss major issues in the school and come with ideas to make the school better.  All the members would have an equal value in their vote about solutions to the issues.  The two houses could pass ideas by each other for major progress and change. I think that this would be the best way to make sure that every student in our school was represented in our congress regardless of grade level or interest group.

If the US economy did not crash in 1929, would Hitler have come into power?
umka2103 [35]

The stock market crash on October 24, 1929, marked the beginning of the Great Depression in the United States. The day became known as "Black Thursday," Many factors had led to that moment. World War I, changing American ideas of debt and consumption, and an unregulated stock market all played pivotal roles in the economic collapse.

World War I transformed the United States from a relatively small player on the international stage into a center of global finance. American industry had supported the Allied war effort, resulting in a massive influx of cash into the US economy. As the war interrupted existing global trade relationships, the United States stepped in as the main supplier of goods, including weapons and ammunition. These purchases left European countries deeply in debt to the United States.

After the war, the United States began a period of diplomatic isolation. It enacted and raised tariffs in 1921 and 1922 to bolster American industry and keep foreign products out.

In the 1920s (the “Roaring Twenties”) many American consumers, assuming economic prosperity would continue indefinitely, took on large amounts of personal debt, sometimes at extremely high interest rates. Factories depended on these consumers continuing to purchase their goods.

Finally, the stock market, based on Wall Street in New York City, was loosely regulated. There were few rules to ensure invested money was safe. Speculators began to deliberately manipulate stock prices, buying and selling in order to increase their returns. Only a small number of Americans purchased stock directly, most believing that the market values would continue to increase. Many investors, comfortable with debt, bought stocks “on the margin,” using a small personal investment to pay a portion of the actual share value while borrowing the rest from a bank or other lender. They assumed the stock price would rise and they would be able to repay the balance of the loan from their investment profits. This system worked well, until the stock decreased in value.
