The Seventeenth Amendment was accepted by the Senate in 1912 and ratified in 1913. The main reason for the amendment was the progressive movement for greater public participation in the political process. It authorized the popular election of senators and was only accepted after four attempts (every attempt was denied for the so-called "millionaires" club, the Senate at that time).
Racial actions that came with the Red Summer in DC included attacking African Americans in Washington DC and the destruction of African American businesses. Resistance included African Americans arming themselves and fighting back.
Jim Crow laws were policies that segregated much of the South such that African Americans were treated as second class citizens. Resistance included campaigns by Civil Rights Organizations.
<h3>What were Jim Crow Laws?</h3>
These were policies in the Southern U.S. that treated Black people as second-class citizens. There were restrictions on their voting rights and places they could go.
It was such actions that led to the Red Summer in DC when White mobs attacked African Americans who then bought guns to defend themselves when the police wouldn't.
Jim Crow Laws were eventually defeated when Civil Rights Activists campaigned over a long period of time and convinced the federal government to roll back these laws.
