7 0

The Wilmot Proviso aimed to ban slavery in territory acquired from Mexico after the Mexican American War.

Those that were supportive of the Proviso were American citizens who were 1. opposed to the institution of slavery and 2. wanted to force the issue of slavery as a national issue. #2 is especially important as during this period, many were hoping to ignore the national issue of slavery or at least keep it from becoming the dominant national issue.

Describe the opinions of W.E.B Du Bois and Booker T Washington regarding the pursuit of equal rights. How are they the same and
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer and Explanation:

W.E.B Du Bois and Booker T Washington were two great black thinkers whose main similarity was the same desire to improve the lives of blacks in such a racist and oppressive country. However, the ways in which they thought they could promote this improvement was very different, which led to debates and certain ideological frictions between them.

Washington said that blacks should accept the discrimination they experienced and not fight against the concept of servitude and submission that accompanied them, for a certain period of time. During that time, blacks should practice patience and solidarity among their fellowmen and work to accumulate capital and material goods for themselves. This would leave them in an equal situation in relation to whites, who could see them as worthy, but this would make them superior to whites because they had well-trained and encouraged solidarity and patience.

Du Bois abhorred this type of approach, because he believed that it stimulated white supremacy and allowed more abuse to be issued to the black population. For Du Bois, blacks would only achieve equality through the political power they needed to take for themselves. He affirmed that for that, a social change would be necessary that would be promoted by the stimulus of the study and the academic and superior formation of young blacks, who, once formed would have all the political, economic and social framework to promote changes in society.

lakkis [162]
The first and foremost merit of Protestant Reformation is that it dispensed with one, unique, and unquestionable authority, embodied in the Roman Catholic Church. It opened the path to pluralism - a multitude of opinions that seek to be freely expressed, without censure and fear of punishment. It dismantled the dogma of one truth and one truth only - whether it be about God, Trinity, priests, an attitude towards worldly riches or anything else. Even though it was not secular, its focus on living in this world rather than in anticipation of heaven or hell, opened new perspectives for the development of secularism too.
