The group that was founded by W.E.B DuBois and others in 1909 to promote equal treatment of Blacks in America is The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was formed by a group of activist who wanted to address the violence that was against colored people. W.E.B DuBois was an activist who believed that colored people should be treated equally, and his goal was on improving the lives of colored people in the Untied States. This group specifically focused on getting a law passed, the anti-lynching law, which would support and protect people of color. During the 1950's and 1960's is where the group started to see their work being put to good use and seeing the change they worked to have.

Answer:

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (aka the NAACP)

Explanation:

The NAACP is a national organization that still exists today. This organization was founded by African American citizens with the goal of achieving social, legal, and economic equality. This organization was a fundamental part of the Civil Rights movement during the 1950's and 1960's.

For example, the NAACP was the organization that supplied the Brown family legal representation in the famous Brown vs. Board of Education case. The lawyers from the NAACP, like Thurgood Marshall, helped to end school segregation in the US by winning the case in Brown vs. Board of Education.

The Erie Canal helped in which of the following ways
AURORKA [14]

1. The Erie Canal opened the Midwest to settlement.

Prior to the construction of the Erie Canal, most of the United States population remained pinned between the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Appalachian Mountains to the west. By providing a direct water route to the Midwest, the canal triggered large-scale emigration to the sparsely populated frontiers of western New York, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and Illinois.

2. It sharpened the divide between the North and South over slavery.

Before the opening of the Erie Canal, New Orleans had been the only port city with an all-water route to the interior of the United States, and the few settlers in the Midwest had arrived mostly from the South. “Southerners had been moving up the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers into southern Ohio and southern Indiana, which did become sympathetic to slavery,” according to Jack Kelly, author of the new book “Heaven’s Ditch: God, Gold and Murder on the Erie Canal.” The Erie Canal checked that trend as the new settlers from New England, New York and Europe brought their abolitionist views with them to the newly established Midwest states. “The New Englanders and Europeans beginning to stream across the canal were opposed to slavery, and it set up this confrontation,” Kelly says. “Southerners became more hardened and Northerners more adamant.” Kelly adds that the transformation of the Midwest into America’s breadbasket by the new settlers also “reduced the dependence of the industrial North on the agriculturally dominant South.”

3. The Erie Canal transformed New York City into America’s commercial capital.

Believing the Erie Canal to be a pork-barrel project that would only benefit upstate towns, many of New York City’s political leaders tried to block its construction. Good thing for them that they failed. “The Erie Canal really made New York City,” Kelly says. Prior to the canal’s construction, ports such as New Orleans, Philadelphia and even Baltimore outranked New York. “The success of a port depends on how big a region it can draw from inland,” Kelly says. “It gave New York City access to this huge area of the Midwest, and that was an enormous factor in establishing New York City as a premier port in the country.” As the gateway to the Midwest, New York City became America’s commercial capital and the primary port of entry for European immigrants. The city’s population quadrupled between 1820 and 1850, and the financing of the canal’s construction also allowed New York to surpass Philadelphia as the country’s preeminent banking center.

4. It gave birth to the Mormon Church.

The Erie Canal brought not only rapid change, but anxiety, to towns along its path. Kelly says that apprehension sparked an evangelical religious revival in the 1820s and 1830s along the canal route as well as the birth of religions such as Adventism and Mormonism. “Many people don’t realize Mormonism started right on the Erie Canal since it’s so associated with Utah,” Kelly says. It was along the canal route in 1823 that Joseph Smith claimed to have been visited by a Christian angel named Moroni and where in 1830 he published the Book of Mormon and founded the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Like Smith himself, many of the religion’s early followers were drawn from the underclass who missed out on the prosperity brought to some by the canal. The new waterway, though, proved to be a 19th-century “information superhighway” that aided the spread of the new religion.

5. The Erie Canal helped to launch the consumer economy.

In addition to providing an economic boost by allowing the transport of goods at one-tenth the previous cost in less than half the previous time, the Erie Canal led to a transformation of the American economy as a whole. “Manufactured goods had been pretty much unknown on the frontier until transportation costs became cheaper. Farmers could grow wheat in western New York, sell it and have cash to buy furniture and clothing shipped up the canal that they otherwise would have made at home,” Kelly says. “That was the first inklings of the consumer economy.”

What was the Supreme Court’s rationale for its Plessy v. Ferguson decision? What impact did the decision have on the North? The
Scrat [10]
Back then the supreme court <span>ruled that racially separate facilities, if equal, did not violate the Constitution. 
This indicates that racial segregation itself is regarded as legal by the Supreme court. Because of this, many people in the south started to separate their establishment and creating racial discrimination in the society.
Even though there is a couple occurrence while the north tried to do discriminate minorities, the majority of people tend to despise this ruling and keep creating effort to override it.</span>
