The Freedom Rides of 1961 was a revolutionary movement where black and white people refused to sit in their designated areas of buses to protest segregation. They began in Washington DC on May 4, 1961 and went to New Orleans originally. But the rides sparked a revolution and inspired many other people from several states to take part in the freedom rides and support the fight for racial justice. The 1961 Freedom Rides sought to test a 1960 decision by the Supreme Court in Boynton v. Virginia that segregation of interstate transportation facilities, including bus terminals, was unconstitutional as well.

Rulers of the Mayan city-states claimed
Alex_Xolod [135]
The American continent was populated relatively recently: the man only appeared at the end of the Paleolithic. Between 50,000 and 12,000 BC reached the first people to the New World, and soon the whole American continent was populated by people.
From linguistic and archaeological studies indicate that the Mayans already around 2000 BC. one must have been recognizable culture. The ethnogenesis of the Mayas took place most likely in the Sierra de los Cuchumatanes in western Guatemala. Archaeology has shown that the Maya already from that time began to put down his buildings for ceremonial purposes. From this early time is not quite clear where the boundaries lie between the actual Maya and their neighbors, the Olmecs. The two cultures seem to have influenced each other. Eventually, the Olmec culture faded after its influence on the Yucatán Peninsula to have the current Guatemala expanded.

How did servitude differ from slavery? Why did the laws get more complicated over time?

How did servitude differ from slavery? Why did the laws get more complicated over time?

Servitude was different from slavery in that it was a form of bondage, meaning there was an agreement on a period of unpaid labor that usually paid off the costs of the servant’s immigration to America. The servants were not paid wages but they were generally housed, clothed, and fed.

The servants themselves were not considered property and were free upon the end of their indenture (usually a period of five to seven years).

In slavery, they were considered property of their masters. They are not given freedom and they are considered property as long as they live. No rights at all.

Discovering the American Past: From English Servants to African Slaves: Creating Racial Slavery in Colonial Virginia

In the early years of the colony, many Africans and poor whites -- most of the laborers came from the English working class -- were the same. Black and white women worked side-by-side in the fields. Black and white men who broke their servant contract were equally punished.
