Lorico [155]

Answer:

The strengths of excluding other groups gave black people a stronger voice for what they wanted and not what other groups think they wanted. Black people were able to express themselves more comfortably this way. While when other groups were included, they were able to share their opinions and feel included, especially if they supported what black people were doing.

The weaknesses of excluding other groups could have made other minorities (Asian, Native American, etc.) feel as if they were not as worthy of being heard. White people may have felt a certain way about not being able to express and spread their sympathy with the black folk.

Involving everyone was an effective tactic. Even if some people were not black, it let them express their disapproval of segregation and it showed the nation that not all white people were racist and believed the nation should be split.

What was the tea of act
vazorg [7]

Answer:

The Tea Act of 1773 was one of several measures imposed on the American colonists by the heavily indebted British government in the decade leading up to the American Revolutionary War (1775-83). The act’s main purpose was not to raise revenue from the colonies but to bail out the floundering East India Company, a key actor in the British economy. The British government granted the company a monopoly on the importation and sale of tea in the colonies. The colonists had never accepted the constitutionality of the duty on tea, and the Tea Act rekindled their opposition to it. Their resistance culminated in the Boston Tea Party on December 16, 1773, in which colonists boarded East India Company ships and dumped their loads of tea overboard. Parliament responded with a series of harsh measures intended to stifle colonial resistance to British rule; two years later the war began.
