Does freedom mean that freed people will have economic opportunities equal to those of white people?

History
1 answer:
sweet-ann [11.9K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

In the case of the former slaves who became free after slavery was abolished, they were not always treated as such. Sure they were free in the eyes of the law, but many opportunities that a lot of white folk had weren't immediately available to everyone. In theory, being free could mean having more opportunities, but you have to remember just because you're free it doesn't mean you are guaranteed certain rights or opportunities as others are, it just means you have free will and you aren't in shackles. After all being free doesn't mean being fair or equal, and they are definitely not synonymous.

PLEASE HURRY!! Discuss how and why various groups of people within American society began to challenge and criticize the nation’
a_sh-v [17]
By the 1960s, a generation of white Americans raised in prosperity and steeped in the culture of conformity of the 1950s had come of age. However, many of these baby boomers (those born between 1946 and 1964) rejected the conformity and luxuries that their parents had provided. These young, middle-class Americans, especially those fortunate enough to attend college when many of their working-class and African American contemporaries were being sent to Vietnam, began to organize to fight for their own rights and end the war that was claiming the lives of so many.

THE NEW LEFT

By 1960, about one-third of the U.S. population was living in the suburbs; during the 1960s, the average family income rose by 33 percent. Material culture blossomed, and at the end of the decade, 70 percent of American families owned washing machines, 83 percent had refrigerators or freezers, and almost 80 percent had at least one car. Entertainment occupied a larger part of both working- and middle-class leisure hours. By 1960, American consumers were spending $85 billion a year on entertainment, double the spending of the preceding decade; by 1969, about 79 percent of American households had black-and-white televisions, and 31 percent could afford color sets. Movies and sports were regular aspects of the weekly routine, and the family vacation became an annual custom for both the middle and working class.

Answer:

d. Pro communist protests at Tiananmen Square

Explanation:

Among the options, event D was the least shocking for the end of the cold war as the Chinese government had distanced itself from the Soviet Union. In this social march, Chinese students sued for greater political openness and economic reforms. But the result was tragic, as between 300 and 3,000 people were repressed and killed under fire from army tanks that joined together to vacate Tiananmen Square.
