Answer: The early years of the twentieth century were a time of movement for many black Americans. Traditionally, most blacks lived in the Southeastern states. But in the nineteen twenties, many blacks moved to cities in the North.
Black Americans moved because living conditions were so poor in the rural areas of the Southeast. But many of them discovered that life was also hard in the colder Northern cities. Jobs often were hard to find. Housing was poor. And whites sometimes acted brutally against them.
The life of black Americans forms a special piece of the history of the nineteen twenties. That will be our story today.
The years just before and after nineteen twenty were difficult for blacks. It was a time of racial hatred. Many whites joined the Ku Klux Klan organization. The Klan often terrorized blacks. Klan members sometimes burned fiery crosses in front of the houses of black families. And they sometimes beat and murdered blacks.
The Ku Klux Klan also acted against Roman Catholics, Jews.
Explanation:
Totalitarian government is when a single group completely takes over and makes the people subservient to the state (they make all of the rules) and if there was more than one group, opinions may differ and actions may be more diverse, and it wouldn't have total control over the decisions anymore. Ex: Hitler- changed laws to what he saw fit, changed culture, controlled how people were treated, threw Jew's in concentration camps because of a personal bias, etc. He had total control, thus totalitarian gov.
