Other than the explanation offered in the legend, one of the main reasons why the Greeks went to war with Troy was because they needed more territory and resources.
Answer:
Today, the cause of states’ rights is still invoked against federal social programs and education initiatives that are often beneficial to people of color.
Explanation:
None of this was secret in the 1860s. The “anything but slavery” explanations gained traction only after the war, especially after 1890—at exactly the same time that Jim Crow laws became entrenched across the South. Thus when people wrote about secession influenced what they wrote.
And here the states’ rights argument opens a door for teachers to explain how perceptions of the past change from one generation to the next. Most students imagine history is something “to be learned,” so the whole idea of historiography—that who writes history, when and for what audience, affects how history is written— is new to them. They need to know it. Knowledge of historiography empowers students, helping them become critical readers and thinkers.
Concealing the role of white supremacy—on both sides of the conflict— makes it harder for students to see white supremacy today. After all, if southerners were not championing slavery but states’ rights, then that minimizes southern racism as a cause of the war. And it gives implicit support to the Lost Cause argument that slavery was a benevolent institution. Espousing states’ rights as the reason for secession whitewashes the Confederate cause into a “David versus Goliath” undertaking— the states against the mighty federal government.
States’ rights became a rallying cry for southerners fighting all federal guarantees of civil rights for African Americans. This was true both during Reconstruction and in the 1950s, when the modern civil rights movement gained strength. <em>Today, the cause of states’ rights is still invoked against federal social programs and education initiatives that are often beneficial to people of color.</em>
In other words, teaching the Civil War wrong cedes power to some of the most reactionary forces in the United States, letting them, rather than truth, dictate what we say in the classroom. Allowing bad history to stand literally makes the public stupid about the past—today.
During Franklin’s era, there was myth that a severed snake would come back to life if the pieces were put together before sunset.
The cartoon depicts the early American colonies as a snake divided into eight segments.
He did everything that there was. From changing historical facts to appearing everywhere. His political enemies were removed from photos and history to make it seem as if he did everything on his own, and he also appeared in movies and books and pamphlets to give off the impression that all struggles of life are nothing compared to the love for Stalin who will bring the soviet people together.
