Explain what factors led to the Harlem Renaissance.

1 answer:

5 0

Growth in Black populations in the North and West occurs as a result of the Great Migration.
The Ku Klux Klan reached its peak in membership and political influence in the South and the Midwest during the 1920s. Amid the racist political climate and worsening socioeconomic conditions in many areas, some Black leaders hoped that achievement in the arts would help revolutionize race relations while enhancing Blacks’ understanding of themselves as a people.
Influential African American thinkers, such as W.E.B. Du Bois, advocated Pan-Africanism, the idea that people of African descent have common interests and should be unified.
Literacy rates dramatically increased during the era.
National organizations, such as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, emerged that were dedicated to African American civil rights.
The vibrancy of Black cultural life in Harlem attracted a significant number of intellectuals and artists to the district, which served as a symbolic capital of the renaissance.

maksim [4K]

Reaper and steel plow were the machines invented by Cyrus McCormick and John Deere that made large-scale agriculture possible, especially on Midwestern prairies.

B) Reaper and steel plow

Explanation:

In the 1800's people used to do all the chores with their hands hence, it made farming a tough job and a lot of time consuming activity. During the industrial revolution, Cyrus McCormick invented a mechanical reaper, which would help reap big farms in very less time.

The steel plow played a very important role in the industrial revolution as the wooden plow used to be weak but John Deere's invented steel plow was strong and broke soil easily.

What is the description of the person's early life for Nelson Mandela in a paragraph?

gregori [183]

Rolihlahla "Nelson" Mandela was born on the 18th July 1918 in Qunu, South Africa. As the youngest son of a respected African chief, Rolihlahla was offered the opportunity to go to school. Here he was named "Nelson" by one of his teachers. Mandela eventually studied at both the University of Fort Hare and the University of Witwatersrand and qualified in law, setting up a law practice in Johannesburg with his friend Walter Sisulu. It was the injustices he dealt with on a daily basis that began to influence him. Political Development - Role in the ANC

In 1943 Mandela joined the African National Congress (ANC) which appealed to the South African government for African rights and political changes. Mandela was part of a young group which brought a new sense of youthful optimism and pro-activism to the ANC.

In 1948 the government implemented apartheid. This was a legal system causing separation of people based on their racial classification, with subsequent oppression for non-whites. The government used police and armed forces to enforce apartheid and implemented increasingly stringent laws to outlaw any opposition. In response to this the ANC began a policy of passive resistance; encouraging boycotts, "stay at home" strikes, non violent civil disobedience and non co-operation with the everyday apartheid rules and regulations.

Activism, Arrest and Imprisonment

As a highly educated lawyer with natural leadership abilities, Mandela was an influential figure within the ANC. During these years, Mandela was banned, arrested and detained numerous times and was tried for Treason in 1956 but later acquitted. As the government increasingly sought to suppress all anti apartheid movements the ANC was declared an illegal organisation in 1960. As a last resort, after the failure of peaceful resistance to challenge governnment oppression, Mandela founded Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK), Spear of the Nation. this was a new underground section of the ANC, which was preparing an armed struggle to use limited sabotage against the government with the aim of achieving policy change. After being arrested, using Mandela's vast legal knowledge, throughout the trial the accused stated their position as oppressed political activists, who were willing to use any means to help achieve an egalitarian South Africa. Mandela's final speech to the court stated:

"I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die."
