Answer:  The bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham -- an act of terrorism by Ku Klux Klan members that killed four black girls (ages 11-14) and injured fourteen other persons at the church.

The September, 1963, bombing in Birmingham sparked the African American community into strong action in Alabama to push for the rights of black citizens.  As noted in a Voting Rights Timeline provided by Alabama State University, "the murder of four black girls at the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church in Birmingham" was the catalyst that launched a "new thrust on voting rights by the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC)."

The voting rights campaign in Alabama culminated in the Selma to Montgomery March in March, 1965.  Martin Luther King, Jr., as president of the SCLC, was a key participant in that campaign, as was John Lewis, chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC).   Marchers (including Lewis) were attacked and beaten by state troopers the first time they attempted the march.  Many Americans were sickened by the scenes of this which they saw on television, and National Guard troops then were deployed to protect the marchers as they again made their effort.  There were roughly 2,000 (not 20,000) who made the successful march from Selma to Montgomery, March 21-25, 1965.  When they arrived in Montgomery, they were met by a crowd of nearly 50,000 supporters, both blacks and whites in that supportive group.

Answer:

       LABOR MOVEMENT IN THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION

A labor union is a group of people within a particular job or industry that join together to fight for improved working conditions.  Throughout history, labor unions have played a vital role in the relationship between workers and owners and have helped to improve conditions for working-class people.  The labor movement first began during the time period of the Industrial Revolution, in the 19th century.  At the time, working-class people were often exploited by wealthy owners and treated horribly.  To better understand the situation facing people in the Industrial Revolution, it’s first important to understand the political and economic views of the time.  The dominant ideology of the Industrial Revolution centered on individualistic values such as classical liberalism and laissez-faire capitalism.  Both of these systems promoted the idea that the government should play as little a role as possible in the economic lives of the people.  As such, there were very few government regulations in place to protect workers and the wealthy owners were allowed to exploit them in various ways.  For example, during the Industrial Revolution, working-class people faced horrible working conditions, such as: crowded and cramped workspaces, dirty and dangerous factory and mining operations, poor levels of pay, long hours of work, and a lack of basic healthcare, education and rights.  Out of this emerged different socialist movements that focused on improving the lives and conditions for industrial workers.  For example, Marxism and utopian socialism both sought to stop the exploitation of the workers by the owners and create more balance in society.  At the same time, the idea of labor unions became popular across industrial societies.  Workers formed and used unions in order to protest for a variety of things, including: shorter hours of work, higher rates of pay, safe working conditions, basic education and healthcare.

Many historians consider the James K. Polk presidency to be considerably aggressive and/or controversial. How do you rate the pr
Maurinko [17]

James K Polk is one of the historical figures that is really hard to judge by modern standards.

He was a forceful man with strongly held beliefs. He was the last in the line of "Jacksonian Presidents" with all of the baggage that came along with that.

Ultimately, he was a strong war time President. His single term in office led to the short lived Presidency of Zachary Taylor, who was significantly less informed and forceful than Polk. After Polk, the issue of slavery really came to the forefront. Polk was either responsible for delaying the prominence of this issue or just got lucky. It is likely that history would look much differently if Polk had a second term and continued his aggressive posture towards America's future.

I'd say he was a good President, for his time, who strongly acted on the economy and in regards to Mexico but whose record looks abysmal by modern standards and values.
