What did working class people do in the 1950s

History
1 answer:
Evgesh-ka [11]3 years ago
4 0

What we are witnessing is the human wreckage of a great historical turning point, a profound change in the social requirements of economic life. We have come to the end of the working class.

We still use “working class” to refer to a big chunk of the population—to a first approximation, people without a four-year college degree, since those are the people now most likely to be stuck with society’s lowest-paying, lowest-status jobs. But as an industrial concept in a post-industrial world, the term doesn’t really fit anymore. Historian Jefferson Cowie had it right when he gave his history Stayin’ Alive the subtitle The 1970s and the Last Days of the Working Class, implying that the coming of the post-industrial economy ushered in a transition to a post-working class. Or, to use sociologist Andrew Cherlin’s formulation, a “would-be working class—the individuals who would have taken the industrial jobs we used to have.”

What difficulties of travel along the underground railroad?
Degger [83]
The work of the Underground Railroad resulted in freedom for many men, women, and children. It also helped undermine the institution of slavery, which was finally ended in the United States during the Civil War. Many slaveholders were so angry at the success of the Underground Railroad that they grew to hate the North.

tangare [24]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Like virtually all rulers throughout history, African rulers invoked both religious claims and their role as lawgivers or law enforcers to bolster their political legitimacy. For example, the ambassadors’ description of King Zara Yacob indicates that he sought to project and advertise his power in these terms as well.

Name two African American athletes who
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Joe Louis: Joe Louis held the heavyweight title for 140 consecutive months, the longest such streak in boxing history. Many people regarded him as the first black national hero. He also fought two internationally publicized bouts.

Jesse Owens: During the 1936 Berlin Olympics, Adolf Hitler attempted to use the Games as a showcase for his Third Reich and the supposed superiority of the Aryan race.

After winning the Olympics, some of the personal aspects of his discrimination were slowly released. Owens could then eat the all-white restaurants, and travel with the whites as well. But this didn’t happen all at once. In fact, his National achievements were still looked down upon. Whether being the most successful man in the world, Owens was still a black man, and black men were only seen through the eyes of the white as slaves. However, keep in mind, that it was quite rare for black people to be granted this right.

Happy learning!
