How was life in the south different after the Civil war?

History

More than a million African Americans were refugees, homeless, separated from family during years of slavery. Governments in many places ceased to exist. The new labor arrangements of tenant farming and sharecropping were born out of this necessity. Laborers who had everything they needed to farm (except the land) became tenant farmers. Sharecroppers usually had to plant specific crops required by the landowner. This system of labor lasted in some parts of the south for a century, involving a majority of landless black and white farmers in many parts of the South. Though sharecropping reduced many freedmen back to circumstances very similar to slavery, there were laborers who worked without any wages at all, legally. For many years after the Civil War, Southern states routinely convicted poor African Americans and some whites of vagrancy or other crimes, and then sentenced them to prolonged periods of forced labor. <span>It may come as no surprise that criminal populations multiplied in several states by as much as ten times between 1865 and the turn of the century. Inmates were big business. What kind of crime might lead someone to be sentenced to convict labor? </span>

One of the most significant changes in the South after the war was that they were no longer allowed to have slaves under legal law. However, there still were loopholes to this law (i.e.- Jim Crow Laws).

Why does Winthrop believe that a Bill of Rights is essential in the constitution?
Andreas93 [3]

Anti-Federalist James Winthrop thinks that the Bill of Rights is important enough to be a part of the Constitution. He wrote several essays proposing that Bill of Rights should be included because it prevents the dominating majority on taking advantage of the minority who have little to no property and power against the elite. The non-inclusion of bill of rights may subject minorities to potential abuse from the authorities.

Which statement is true about the Supreme Court’s ruling in Hazelwood school District v.Kuhlmeier
marusya05 [52]

Answer: The correct answer is the last choice, "It stated that the rights of public school students to publish content in school sponsored newspapers is not protected by the First Amendment."

Explanation:

The decision by the Supreme Court was decided by a 5-3 vote, which upheld the school's right to censor articles in school sponsored newspapers. The Supreme Court stated that the newspaper was not intended as a public forum but rather a limited forum for journalism students to write articles subject to school editing that met the requirements of that Journalism class. Since the paper was sponsored by the school. the school had the right to prevent the publication of articles they felt were inappropriate.
