Booker T. Washington believed that blacks should accommodate to racial prejudice and focus on self-improvement through hard work. The quote mentions the importance of "merit" or hard work in determining the value of a person in society. This therefore supports his idea that blacks should focus on an economic skill and not focus on the separation and prejudice in society.
In Washington's famous "Atlanta Compromise" speech, he outlines his theory of accommodation. He essentially argued that blacks must find their place in society, a place that whites did not want to occupy. In doing this you accept the segregation law by achieving economic success in your area. He believed in vocational studies for blacks to find their economic success. In his speech he refers to the country as a hand and that each group were the fingers. African Americans could successfully work to support the hand while not interfering with other groups.
Answer:
The richest people in the society (like elon musk or the kardashians lol) were called "aristocrats". Over a third of society were women and children, the others were men. Women were considered citizens but were not able to vote. Freeman, men who were not slaves (but were second-class to the common people), were not allowed to vote or participate in government (like run for senate or smt). Freemen made up around 10% of the population. They often were not born in Athens and moved there to find good jobs and make money. Freemen were often craftsmen and merchants. When the economy started going up, the number of merchants increased and trade increased as well. Slaves made up 1/3 of the population, and slaves were mostly prisoners of war (people captured in war). Slaves were considered private property, owned by an individual and not the government.
