<span>As in any era where reforms happen, there are winners, and losers.
The rich, Big Business benefit the most, while the middle and lower classes benefit the least
The unions benefit in that more people are wont to join for the protection they offer, and for a fair deal.
Consumers may benefit in the short term, however as we see, prices always go up, and quality always go down.
Women, Children, and the African Americans are the least groups to benefit, or were many years ago, as they had no real champions for their cause.
Hope this helps!!!!</span>
From my research it was ancient Greece. But not 100 hundred percent true
Garrison was a huge advocate for the free emancipation of slaves and the overall abolition of slavery. “burning like a fire on the national conscience” refers to the idea that most of the nation knew slavery was wrong and effected the conscious minds of everyone living here and it lingered in the back of everyone’s mind similarly to a fire
After Reconstruction, white Southerners took extreme measures to ensure that African-Americans did not gain political power. One of the reasons why is because they feared that African-Americans would elect individuals who would try to change the southern way of life. In order to stop this from happening, several actions were taken.
1) Voting obstacles- Even though the 15th amendment said the no one can be stopped from voting based on race, color, or past servitude, many southern states went around this by implementing literacy tests and poll taxes. These tests and taxes significantly affected the African-American community, as many of them did not have a formal education nor a large enough income to vote.
2) Development of Ku Klux Klan- This organization used violence, intimidation, and threats to ensure that African-Americans did not use the rights guaranteed to them in the constitution.
Plessy v. Ferguson- basically Louisiana passed a law saying the black people need it separate car when traveling on train not on the same as a white person.
Plessy was 1/8 African descent (was born free and other 7/8 was of European descent ) and under Louisiana rule he had to sit on a black car. eventually he sat on white only car and got into trouble, just like Rosa Parks. and he was eventually got arrested and tried.
