How did Booker T. Washington’s Atlanta Compromise Speech enable him to help provide educational opportunities for other African

Lady_Fox [76]

Booker T. Washington was born into slavery and yet was able to get a comprehensive formal education after the Civil War, during the Reconstruction Period. He understood the primordial importance of a formal education of any type for the betterment of the condition of African Americans. His context was very difficult, in the South, segregation, discrimination and lynching were rampant and a large number of African Americans were illiterate which helped perpetuate Southern white supremacy. Booker T. Washington had founded the Tuskegee Institute to provide vocational education (education that prepares people to work on specific fields of work that require industrial or agricultural specialization but provides no education in the classic liberal arts of science, art, philosophy, social sciences, mathematics or religious studies) to Southern African Americans.

The reason he did not provide such education was that Southern laws prevented him from doing it. Washington understood that he needed to play his cards carefully as African Americans were a minority with little political power in the South and he very cleverly adopted a two-fold strategy: publicly he would accommodate Southern segregationist policies in exchange for the funds and permits to provide vocational education to a largely uncultured, illiterate and untrained African American minority. Privately and secretly, he funded every legal challenge he could to segregationist laws and policies. The accomodationist views he expressed in his Atlanta Compromise speech made Southern white supremacists feel he was not a threat to their social order and this allowed him to slowly educate and train more and more African Americans and secretly undermine segregation.

Answer:

ExplSome common elements of Black Codes were:

Race was defined by blood; the presence of any amount of black blood made one black.

Employment was required of all freedmen; violators faced vagrancy charges.

Freedmen could not assemble without the presence of a white person.

Freedmen were assumed to be agricultural workers and their duties and hours were tightly regulated.

Freedmen were not to be taught to read or write.

Public facilities were segregated.

Violators of these laws were subject to being whipped or branded.

But said employer or former owner may permit said negro to hire his own time by special permission in writing, which permission shall not extend over seven days at any one time.

No negro shall be permitted to rent or keep a house within said parish. Any negro violating this provision shall be immediately ejected and compelled to find an employer; and any person who shall rent, or give the use of any house to any negro, in violation of this section, shall pay a fine of five dollars for each offence.

Manifest Destiny boosted the practice of removing Native American peoples from their ancestral lands.

finlep [7]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf True }}$

Explanation:

In the 1800s, the idea known as Manifest Destiny formed. Many Americans believed it was their God-given and undeniable destiny to expand from coast to coast.

Eventually it led to the shape of the country we know today and provided more resources, but it had many severe consequences. Issues over slavery (that would spark the Civil War) were inflamed, because no one could decide whether the new territories should be free or not.

However, the Native Americans were devastated by expansion. Many tribes had to fight the settlers, usually resulting in a loss. Their land was stolen and they were killed or forced to relocated.

So, yes, Manifest Destiny did boost the practice of removing Native Americans from their ancestral lands.
