The civil rights movement

History
1 answer:
IRINA_888 [86]3 years ago
5 0
The Civil Rights movement had it's origins in the aftermath of the US Civil War. 
Despite the Union achieving one of it's primary objectives in the war, the abolition of slavery in the United States, in the decades following the war many US states enacted restrictive and oppressive laws which provided for the segregation of African-American and White Americans. 
Over the 20th century, African-Americans were subject to a wide range of discrimination, from being unable to vote, segregated schools, hospitals and public facilities and were subject to blatant racial profiling.

The Civil Rights movement, which culminated in the Civil Rights Act, was a series of protests and actions by the African-American and allied communities which denounced the oppressive and discriminatory legislation (particularly in the Deep South) which treated African-Americans as second class citizens.

What piece of legislation stated that slavery was banned north of the 36’30 and south of the 36’30 slavery would be allowed
Gekata [30.6K]

The Missouri Compromise of 1820 established the latitude 36°30′ as the northern limit for slavery to be legal in the territories of the west.

Explanation:

  • The Missouri Compromise, as it was known, would remain in impact for just over 30 years till the Kansas-Nebraska act of 1854 revoked it.
  • In 1857, the Supreme Court in Dred Scott's case found the agreement unconstitutional, setting the stage for the nation's final journey through the Civil War.
  • In 1820, while growing sectional tensions over the slavery issue, the U.S. Congress passed a law welcoming Missouri to the Union as a captive state and free state.

In 1870, galveston thrives as a city because of which industry?
madreJ [45]

In 1870, Galveston thrives as a city because of cotton industry.

Explanation:

The city became one of the nation's busiest ports and the world's leading port for cotton exports. Galveston became Texas' largest city and, during that era, was its prime commercial center. In 1900, the island was struck by a devastating hurricane. Even post-Hurricane Katrina, this event holds the record as the United States' deadliest natural disaster.

The American settlers quickly introduced the slave-based cotton-plantation system, expanded commercial livestock production, and developed concentrations of small, non  slave holding family farms. The large influx of Anglo-American settlers led to the Texas revolt, the independence of Texas, and the subsequent war between the United States and Mexico, followed by the admission of Texas into the Union.

As time passed the essentially pastoral character of Texas agriculture became more heavily a plow and commercial system.

arms and plantations primarily utilized teams of oxen for plowing, and occasionally horses or mules. Mules became much more prevalent after the Civil War. Plows were fabricated locally, or, when cash was available, farmers might import farm equipment such as the Eagle plow through New Orleans and Galveston. Commerce generally depended on wagons to and from the port of Galveston; some produce was floated down the rivers. Although steamboat transportation and railroad construction began in Texas before the Civil War, river steamer and rail transportation were generally postwar developments.

After the war the traditional cotton plantation system continued, but with tenant farmers in place of slaves.
