During the <em>English civil war</em>, England left the colonies alone for a period of twenty years. While the English were fighting the colonies were free and essentially got away with anything, this included not obeying the Navigation Act of 1651.
Commerce in tobacco and materials used in shipping attached the colonies economically to England, the politics and religion also tied the colonies to England, but in general the English left the colonies to their own means. The <em>English civil war</em> demanded the colonists in America to review their place within the English domain; the colonies that were consider old colonies such as Virginia and Maryland supported the crown, while newer colonies like Massachusetts Bay tendered to favor the English Parliament. Nevertheless, during the war all colonies remained neutral, fearing that supporting either side could implicate them in the war.
Charles I's death penalty and execution in 1649 changed that neutrality. Six colonies, including Virginia, declared their loyalty to the dead monarch's son Charles II.

The Navigation Act of 1651 followed this imposition, pressuring the merchants in every colony to ship goods directly to England in England ships.

Answer: Violence continued continuously throughout the 19th century until 1964—efforts to resolve individual disputes.
Explanation:
- Violence against African-Americans has been ongoing. Thousands of public lynchings of this section of the population occurred during the said period. There are several stages in this process. According to some historians, the climax of lynching happened after the end of World War II, when thousands of African-Americans were lynched in various ways. Previously, this was the case because of the activism of the Negro population who sought to fight for greater rights for this part of the community. Blacks have been charged with various counts of theft, for being sexual predators, and many forfeiting their lives. The racial segregation and lynching of this section of the population were significantly reduced by the repeal of Jim Crown's segregation laws in 1964.
- The Compromise of 1850 is an effort to resolve certain slavery disputes over new territories that belonged to the united states. The disagreements that occurred among the main protagonists of these events was one of the causes of the civil war. Speaking of slaves and their position after this event, it has not improved significantly in their favor. The Refugee Slave Act of 1850 required citizens to assist in the arrest of exiled slaves and denied enslaved people the right to a jury trial. By the same law, all citizens were required to assist in the capture of slaves in the event of an escape. Also, this law meant denying enslaved people the right to a jury trial. He also placed control of individual cases in the hands of federal commissioners, who were paid more for the return of suspected slaves than for their release, which led many to argue that the law was biased in favor of southern slaveholders.
