Answer:

The minstrel shows, after the civil war, did not very much affect how Black Americans were treated. Rather it held up the preexisting stereotypes and prejudices that were already held against them. If anything the minstrel shows would have worsened the stereotypes. Later in the early twentieth century, the minstrel shows would affect how Black Americans were treated, rather than using it as a form of mockery in the late nineteenth century it was used as a way to oppress Black Americans and justify policies such as Jim Crow.

Why were religious individuals targeted by the Nazi party? What led to their imprisonmentThink about the sentencing of these cri

ANEK [815]

Answer: Religious individuals were targeted because they disagreed with what was happening. If anyone disagreed with what the Nazi party believed in-- along with Hitler in general-- They would be sentenced. Back then, they abused their power to a horrible extent. The sentencing question will be different with each person you ask. However, I believe that people who were religious should not have been charged or injured in any way. Nazis, on the other hand, deserve the same treatment that they gave.

What impeded the effectiveness of the Fourteenth Amendment in providing equal protection and citizenship rights?

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

The 14th Amendment was issued around the Reconstruction period, basically to provide equal rights to slave descendants after the Civil War, granting citizenship to all people born or naturalized in the country, and it has become kind of the main provision in the USA Constitution to enforce Civil Rights and prevent violations; but it was only until the Civil Rights Era around the 1950s and 1960s that really became effective; affairs such as "Jim Crow laws", white supremacy organizations, multiple segregation policies, voter suppression mechanisms such as "The white primries", poll taxes and some others like literacy tests vastly impeded the effectiveness of the Amandment for a long time.

What aspects of calvinism might have appealed to people in a time of uncertainty?

Paraphin [41]

Calvinism is basically Protestantism, but since John Calvin played a huge role in Calvinism, it is named after him. The people who practiced Calvinism, often believed they were "chosen" by God to like on their life and do what they are told. They thought that God had picked them to make a perfect Christian community, as they had lived good and true lives so they were hand chosen by God himself. They trusted in the fact that if they did this and created a pure Christian community, while living a happy life with no sin, they would earn salvation from God.
