Summarize the significance of James Meredith actions in 1962

History
1 answer:
serg [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

James Meredith was an African American civil right activist who in 1962 decided to take the bull its horn by taking a bold step to exercise his constitutional and civil right to education by applying to the University of Mississippi at a time when segregation was the order of the day, and blacks where not allowed to attend the same school with the whites. He was inspired by the inaugural speech of President John F. Kennedy. He became the first African American to be admitted into the segregated University of Mississippi. The significance of his action lies in the facts that it gave a voice to other African Americans to exercise their constitutional rights, and it was also part of what triggered the movement that brought an end to segregation in America. His action was a flash point in the history of civil right movement in America.

In the late 1800s, after treaties and reservations failed, the United States Army went to war with American Indians in the West.
Georgia [21]
I’ll give you two:

Yes: The “War” on the Indians was not a traditional war of declaration but of skirmishes. When wagon trains of people headed West Indians would commonly target them for raids and pillage, so along many routes forts where built and patrols would try and make sure they were safe. If the problem became worse the local garrison would find the tribe and come with a list of demands. Most of the time they were fired upon arrival out of fear or anger. This would lead to a small battle or skirmish which would likely cause collateral damage.

No: The wars raged in the west against the Indians were that of near genocide, and to call it anything but is misleading. To claim that the slaughter of hundreds of innocent people was a “battle” is absurd and shouldn’t be considered. Though in films that depict such events are dramatized and inaccurate, situations much like those were taking place around the west yearly.
