History

Anna71 [15]3 years ago

Student protestors played a huge role in bringing attention to social injustices faced by African-American citizens in the US. These students formed highly efficient organizations, such as the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. This popular organization helped to organize peaceful means of protests, including:

1) The March on Washington 1963
2)Freedom Rides 1961
3) Selma and Mississippi Freedom Summer campaigns.

Along with this, college students organized sit-ins at lunch counters where blacks were refused service. All of these actions resulted in confrontation between these peaceful protestors and citizens who were angry at their efforts to change southern society. This often resulted in violence against these students. However, their nonviolent tactics ended up working extremely well, as they continued to gain better rights throughout the 1960's.

What key changes did emancipation make in the political and economic status of African Americans? Discuss the expansion of citiz
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

<h3>End of slavery and that all persons held as slaves in the Southern states are free.</h3>

Explanation:

The Emancipation Proclamation issued by President Lincoln on January 1, 1863 proclaimed for the end of slavery and that all persons held as slaves in the Southern states are free.

After the issue of the emancipation, thousands of slaves were freed from the confederate states. They were allowed to join the Union army which gradually uplifted many African-American lives. The 13th Amendment of the Constitution solidified the end of slavery and the rise of new political and economic aspirations for the African-Americans.

The Reconstruction was a period after the end of the Civil War. It was a period of great transition in the political, social and economic lives of the African Americans. While the 13th Amendment abolished slavery, the 14th and the 15th Amendment guaranteed various constitutional rights such as citizenship and voting rights. Many African-Americans became full-fledged citizenship and held positions in governmental offices.

What might be one result of state constitution that limited the power of the governor
nikklg [1K]

<span>The power of the governor resulted to the balance of legislative and administrative powers. It is because it cannot be agreed that only one person has all the power. One of the limitations is that they may only be empowered to call on special legislative sessions with a given urgent and priority agenda already at hand.</span>

The answer is: A: It encouraged people to borrow money to buy stocks.
