Explanation:
6. Connect 3 people to the 3 events in the diagram and make an argument (3+ sentences) explaining how they are connected in creating change in the U.S.
a. Declaration of Independence
Thomas Jefferson
Jefferson was the person who wrote the Declaration of Independence. He was a very respected person who became the third president of the United States. Plus, was the broker for the Louisiana Purchase which doubled the size of the US.
b. The Constitution
George Washington
Was the first United States president who was one of the writers of the US constitution. Washington is often referred to as one of the founding fathers of the United States we know today. Washington wanted to end slavery and he supported a plan to abolish it and in the constitution it made a compromise counting a slave as three-fifths of a citizen.
c. The Bill of Rights
James Madison
James Madison was the writer of the amendments and was inspired by Thomas Jefferson. Although he was the writer of the Bill of Rights he believed that alone wasn't enough to protect the rights of American citizens which he was correct because after the Bill of Rights minority groups still faced discrimination and weren't seen as people. Madison was also the fourth president of the United States.
7. How did the change the lives of Americans who were formerly enslaved?
13th: The 13th amendment was the amendment that abolished slavery in all states of the United Stated which means all people who were formerly enslaved were set free.
14th: The 14th amendment was the amendment that granted all people born in the United States no matter their background American citizenships which means people who were former slaves were granted American citizenship.
15th: The 15th amendment was the amendment that granted American citizens the right the vote no matter their race or background which means former slaves were now allowed to vote in presidential elections.
8. How did the 13th amendment seek to keep freed slaves from maintaining that freedom?
The 13th amendment was the amendment that granted enslaved people their freedom but it still didn't solve slavery as a whole, former slaves face harsh discrimination and they didn't have any rights due to the fact that the 14th, and the 15th amendment were yet to be ratified. So, most former slaves couldn't find any work, some even ended up working for their former slave holders back in the bad work environments and low pay that they had when they were slaves.
Hope this helps.
