History

Diano4ka-milaya [45]4 years ago
4 0
In this quote, Thurgood Marshall is talking about the time between the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation (which was supposed to free slaves in the Confederacy) to the Brown vs. Board case which ruled that "separate but equal" is unconstitutional.

The reason he brings up these two events is because it shows how little progress American society has changed in these 90 years. Even though African-Americans were supposed to be free citizens after the Emancipation Proclamation, they were still treated as second class citizens in the US. They were constantly targets of voter discrimination, violence, and prejudice.

What phrase have some scholars devised to replace the term “melting pot” theory?
DanielleElmas [232]
Some scholars have replaced the "melting pot" term with the "salad bowl theory." The melting pot concept posited that immigrants came to the United States with a multitude of backgrounds, religions, and cultures. Once in the United States, however, they melted together to form an American culture with no single immigrant culture standing out from others. The salad bowl theory, on the other hand, argues that these immigrants came to the United States and retained their cultures. Instead of melting together to create an American culture, each culture remains distinct and noticeable in parts just like how when you look at a salad you see tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, and carrots.The cultures are still recognizable, but they all come together to create the salad - an American culture.

Briefly explain Marx, Owen, and Adam Smith and how they connect to the different "isms”.
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

...“The father of modern economics supported a limited role for government. Mark Skousen writes in "The Making of Modern Economics", Adam Smith believed that, "Government should limit its activities to administer justice, enforcing private property rights, and defending the nation against aggression." The point is that the farther a government gets away from this limited role, the more that government strays from the ideal path... How this issue is handled will decide whether the country can more closely follow Adam Smith's prescription for growth and wealth creation or move farther away from it.”

Jacob Viner addressed the laissez-faire attribution to Adam Smith in 1928...

Here is a list of appropriate activities for government, which goes way, way beyond Mark Skousen’s extremely limited – and vague – 'ideal' government. That ... he goes on to attribute his ‘ideal’ list to Adam Smith ... is not alright.In fact, its downright deceitful, for which there is no excuse of ignorance (before attributing the limited ideal to Adam Smith we assume, as scholars must, that Skousen read Wealth Of Nations and noted what Smith actually identified as the appropriate roles of government in the mid-18th century).

There was little economic growth in Europe after the fall of the Roman Empire , during the Middle Ages, but (mention the crusade
Katen [24]

Although the Crusades are popularly viewed as religiously inspired campaigns to recapture the Holy Land, students should recognize them as a result of the social and economic events in Europe between 1000 and 1200. Religious and secular leaders seeking to end the fighting among feudal lords seized upon the Crusades as a means of redirecting that aggression. Feudal knights who would not be inheriting their family properties eagerly enlisted in the Crusades as a way to win wealth or status. The idea of the pilgrimage was a powerful one, and the Crusades were basically armed pilgrimages to the Holy Land. The various Crusades ultimately failed. The sack of Constantinople was a fitting denouement to the whole concept. The interaction with the East brought to Europe not only Arabic translations of Greek texts, but also original Arabic and Iranian scientific and philosophical works.
