History
2 answers:
kramer3 years ago

Explanation: For most of its history Seattle was a segregated city, as committed to white supremacy as any location in America. People of color were excluded from most jobs, most neighborhoods and schools, and many stores, restaurants, hotels, and other commercial establishments, even hospitals. As in other western states, the system of severe racial discrimination in Seattle targeted not just African Americans but also Native Americans, Asian Americans, Pacific Islanders, people of Mexican ancestry, and also, at times, Jews.

Answer: Hope this helped!!

Explanation: For most of its history Seattle was a segregated city, as committed to white supremacy as any location in America. People of color were excluded from most jobs, most neighborhoods and schools, and many stores, restaurants, hotels, and other commercial establishments, even hospitals. As in other western states, the system of severe racial discrimination in Seattle targeted not just African Americans but also Native Americans, Asian Americans, Pacific Islanders, people of Mexican ancestry, and also, at times, Jews.

This special section presents research that will surprise many Pacific Northwesterners. Included are maps, photos, documents, and newspaper articles that follow the history of segregation in Seattle and King County from 1920 until today.

Segregation maps:

Here is a set of detailed maps showing residential locations for Blacks, Chinese, Filipinos, Japanese, Jews, Hispanics, Native Americans, and Whites in Seattle from 1920-2010.  Follow the link above to view more than 70 demographic maps.

Racial Restrictive Covenants:

Was your neighborhood restricted? From the 1910s through the 1960s, many Seattle neighborhoods and King County suburbs practiced overt and total racial exclusion. White-only clauses and other restrictions (which sometimes excluded Jews as well as people of color) can be found today in property deeds for many many neighborhoods. We have collected over 500 restrictive documents on file in the King County Archives.

Restricted Neighborhoods Map:

This interactive map shows more than 200 subdivisions where deeds contained racial restictions. Filters allow you to see which neighborhoods excluded particular populations. And also to see the segregation work of particular developers and real estate companies.

Slideshow: Seattle's Segregation Story:

Telling the story of segregation practices from the late 1800s in photos maps, and short videos, this vivid slideshow clarifies the distinction between segregation as practiced in southern states and Seattle's version. And it reveals shocking facts about hospitals that would not treat patients of color, stores that would not serve African Americans or Asian Americans, and real estate firms that organized neighborhoods to keep them segregated. Teachers will find it perfect for introducing the subject.

How this project helped change state law:

On March 15,  2006, Gov. Christine Gregoire signed into law Senate Bill 6169, which makes it easier for neighborhoods governed by homeowners associations to rid themselves of racial restrictive covenants. Learn how this project helped launch the campaign. In 2018, the legislature added a new provision allowing property owners to strike racial restrictions from deeds and other property records.

Which of the following BEST summarizes the overall disagreement between the federalist and anti-federalists?
ivolga24 [154]

You didn't provide us with choices, so I'll simply provide some historical explanation.  The main issue was whether the Constitution needed a Bill of Rights added.

The Articles of Confederation, in place prior to the ratification of the Constitution of the United States of America, had granted stronger authority to the states.  Patrick Henry and other Anti-Federalists were concerned about too much power winding up in the hands of the federal government and its executive branch, thus allowing a small number of national elites to control the affairs of the USA.  They feared this also would diminish the rights and freedoms of individual citizens.

Federalists believed the Constitution itself clearly limited government power and protected the rights of the people.  Nevertheless, the addition of a Bill of Rights, laid out in the first ten amendments to the Constitution, provided  reassurance to Anti-Federalists in the fight over ratification.  The compromise which led to agreement in regard to ratification of the Constitution was called the Massachusetts Compromise, because of major opposition to ratification that had existed in Massachusetts.  John Hancock and Samuel Adams (both of them anti-Federalists) were the ones who helped negotiate the compromise. The anti-Federalists agreed that they would support ratification of the Constitution, with the understanding that recommendations for amendments would follow if the Constitution was ratified.  The Federalists promised to support the proposed amendments, which would outline a Bill of Rights to guarantee protection of specific rights the anti-Federalists wanted specifically asserted in the Constitution.  

The US Constitution was ratified in 1788.  The Bill of Rights was created in 1789 and ratified in 1791.
