History

Answer:

SORRY ITS A LONG ANSWER!!!

Explanation:

opened fire upon a unruly crowd of Boston citizens. Five Bostonians died and eleven more were wounded. This event came to be popularly referred to as the Boston Massacre and was memorialized for years afterward on this date.

The tradition continues tomorrow when a number of events are taking place at the Old State House including a reenactment of the actual "massacre". The reenactment starts at 6:30 p.m. at the Old State House at the head of State St.(formerly known as King St.). J.L. Bell does his usual excellent job and gives a fuller account of the days events in his blog Boston 1775.

The British soldiers and their officer were placed on trial for the "murder of Crispus Attucks, Samuel Gray, Samuel Maverick, James Caldwell, and Patrick Carr". They were defended in part by John Adams of Braintree, who became an ardent supporter of American independence and a future U.S. President. The soldiers were acquitted of all charges, except two soldiers who were found guilty of manslaughter. They were branded with the letter "m" on their thumbs and released.

The Brattle Book Shop on 9 West St. in Boston, interestingly enough, has a copy of the account of the trial for sale in their rare book section

Segregation and separation of classes in American urban environments occurs because of __________.
spin [16.1K]

The correct answer is: D) Black codes and Jim Crow laws

These had a lot of influence on the current structure of American society.

Black Codes refer to the laws that restricted the African American's freedom. The first ones were enacted in Mississippi and South Carolina in 1865, other states enacted them later, until 1866. The main purpose of this laws was to ensure the African Americans' cheap labor force after slavery was abolished, therefore most of those laws forced them to sign yearly labor contracts, if they didn't they were arrested, fined, or forced to work without payment.

Jim Crow Laws refer to the laws that enforced racial segregation in the South of the U.S. They were applied between 1877 (the end of the Reconstruction) and the 1950's (when the Civil Rights Movement began). They were named after a minstral routine of 1828 performed by Thomas Dartmouth Rice.

As you can see, although these laws don't exist anymore, they stablished some of the bases of our modern society. Things have changed a lot but structural changes are hard to reach.
