Answer:
I am a child of the eighties, a child of parents of the sixties. They were both liberals and brought me up to be a liberal who believed everyone was equal. I was brought up on the music of Pete Seeger, Tom Paxton and a bunch of others it was part of the music of my childhood and it formed a good part of my political ideology.
And if I were to travel back to the 50s now, you can imagine how I would react to segregation utter abhorrence and disgust and protesting against it as much as possible.
An 1896 Supreme Court decision, Plessy v. Ferguson, had declared “separate but equal” Jim Crow segregation legal.

David Lloyd George was most responsible for forging a compromise on a peace settlement after World War I, the Treaty of Versailles.
The Treaty of Versailles was a treaty of peace that was signed in the city of Versailles at the end of the First World War by more than fifty countries.This treaty officially ended with the state of war between Germany and the Allies of the First World War. It was signed on June 28, 1919 exactly five years after the Sarajevo bombing in which the archduke Francisco Fernando was murdered, the direct cause of the war. Although the armistice was signed months before (November 11, 1918) to end hostilities on the battlefield, it took six months of negotiations at the Paris Peace Conference to conclude the peace treaty. The Treaty of Versailles came into force on January 10, 1920.
George contributed decisively to the treaty acquiring a strong anti-German tone. Of the many provisions of the treaty, one of the most important and controversial provisions stipulated that the Central Powers (Germany and its allies) would accept all moral and material responsibility for having caused the war and, under the terms of articles 231 to 248, should disarm, make important territorial concessions to the victors and pay exorbitant economic compensation to the victorious States.
Answer:
A violent transition of power is messy, costly and unpredictable. A peaceful transition of power symbolizes that while we may not always agree with the person that takes office or favor them, we recognize that they were elected by the same Democratic processes that would work to our benefit in other cases. A peaceful transition of power is an indicator that the government is stable and can function.
A peaceful transition of power, one that America has had for the last 240 years, is nearly unheard of in terms of world history.
