History

Tanzania [10]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

This was not the case. Segregation and Jim Crowe laws still persisted well after the end of slavery. African Americans were treated as second class citizens and were denied  many of their rights even after the passage of the 15th amendment. Many people tried to deny them of their voting rights through poll taxes and literacy tests. Many states tried to use the "grandfather clause" which aimed to keep descendants of slaves from participating in elections. There was no "separate but equal" for African Americans after Reconstruction.

Answer:

Separate but Equal was simply an excuse for continued segregation and racism, not an end to it. Therefore, it is false. Blacks still faced terrible treatment and were seen as the dirt of civilization, instead of humans just like everybody else.

How did industrialization in Great britin differ from industrialization in russia
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Britain had an elite society that welcomed industrialization while Russia did not.

Explanation:

British elites were open to the idea of investing into railways and factories. Politically, the British also had a parliament that allowed some form of representation in the government. There was also no more serfdom at the time of industrialization in the early 1800s. On the other hand, Russian elites were very opposed to investing or industrialization as this could threaten their wealth that they already accumulated. Serfdom was still legal in Russia until March 3 1861 when Alexander II abolished it, which meant that many peasants were tied to the land and could not migrate to urban areas. Furthermore, Russia was fully autocratic unlike Britian and only saw the implementation of a parliament in 1905. All of this meant that Britain's industrialization was very quick and significantly earlier than Russia's.
