The States purposely created a weak central government under the Articles of Confederation because of their fear of any kind of powerful central government. The Articles of Confederation, the first constitution of the United States, was in use from 1781 to 1787.
They had great philosophers like Plato and Aristotle
The Scottsboro Boys were a group of nine African American teenagers (between the ages of 13 and 19) who were accused of sexually assaulting two white women in Alabama in 1931. While it is believed it is unlikely they truly did assault the women, a group of white teenage boys attempted to push one of the Scottsboro boys from the train for it was a "white man's train". After losing the fight, the white boys fleed and proceeded to tell the city's sheriff they'd been attacked. After searching the train, two white women got off the train and accused the black teenagers of sexual assault. They received poor representation, and I believe most of them were sentenced to death. The Scottsboro Boys are also known for perhaps being the inspiration of the coming of age book "To Kill A Mockingbird".
