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

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.

The American Revolution was a war fought between the newly founded American founded colonies (Patriots) and Britain(Red Coats). The citizens of these colonies wanted to be free from British rule. The war was fought between 1765 and 1783. All of the fightings were done on American soil so the patriots had an immense advantage. Out of the many battles the most important were The battle of Bunker Hill, the battle of Saratoga and, the battle of Quebec. America ended up winning the war due to hard work, determination and the will to be free. Many people died in this war-making it the bloodiest in American history. America would not be what it is now without the American Revolution

Assoli18 [71]

The human characteristic of North Carolina that mostly impacted European settlement of the area is the "Agricultural fields that had been developed by native people provided plentiful food for Europeans."

This is evident in the fact that following the Virginia settlement of the British settlers, the European began to move outward, and by 1655, a certain Nathaniel Batts, among other Europeans like John Harvey had hoped to find better farmland in the Albemarle area in Carolina, having seen the Native Americans developed some of the lands with agricultural produce. Subsequently, in the later years, many European settlers moved from Virginia to the Carolina area in the hope to find fertile land for farming.

Hence, The human characteristic of North Carolina that mostly impacted European settlement of the area is the "Agricultural fields that had been developed by native people provided plentiful food for Europeans."
