Anna Julia Cooper became a renknown scholar with important contributions to feminism and African American political philosophy like <em>A Voice from the South By a Black Woman Of the South </em>(1982)
She was born in North Carolina between 1858-1859, before the American Civil War. Her mother was an untutored slave who was able to read the Bible and write a little, and her father was probably her mother's master. This background was actually common for African Americans in slavery times and depicts the uneducation and sexual abuse faced by female slaves as well as the struggle for self-education.
When she was 9 years old and removed from slavery, Anna went to Saint Augustine Normal School in Raleigh, where she studied and also worked as a tutor and educator after completing her studies.
Her background and her mother's situation motivated her to pursue a life of teaching and educating others, as well as highlighting the structures of opression faced by African Americans.
The cold war was foretold by Churchill following the 2nd World War. He tried to tell the world of the Soviet threat. "Red" is slang for a communist. Although it is not illegal to be a communist in The United States, the "Red Scare" was very prevalent in the 1950's due to Senator McCarthy.

For farmers in that region of the US at the time, they continued to overwork their farmland and destroyed the fertility of the land. In addition, severe droughts worsened the situation and caused once fertile lands into deserts.
I hope this was helpful. Good luck in your studies. :^)
