The Niagara Movement was a civil-rights group founded in 1905 near Niagara Falls. Scholar and activist W. E. B. Du Bois gathered with supporters on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls to form an organization dedicated to social and political change for African Americans. Its list of demands included an end to segregation and discrimination in unions, the courts, and public accommodations, as well as equality of economic and educational opportunity. Although the Niagara Movement had little impact on legislative action, its ideals led to the formation of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) in 1909.
Interactions with the natural environment led to the cultivation of multiple cash crops, therefore shaping the institution of slavery, and values favoring economic benefits first in the southern colonies, and then the southern states of the North American Continent.
The Early Colonies
In the Chesapeake Bay region of Virginia, warm weather and plentiful rainfall prompted the cultivation of America's first cash crops: tobacco, and rice.
Virginia, as King Charles I put it, was "founded upon smoke."
Pine trees were in high demand for naval purposes.
Thriving economies of the southern colonies led to voluntary indentured servitude.
These indentured servants occupied a "middle rank between slaves and free men."
Eventually, indentured servants accounted for half of the white settlers outside New England
