The big motivator was the California Gold Rush (1849). Before the railroad, there were three ways to get to the west coast: (1) cross country in a wagon train (there were several routes, including the Oregon Trail); (2) by sailing ship around Cape Horn; and (3) by ship to Panama, across the mountainous and disease-ridden isthmus, then up to California in another ship.

How does the author use figurative language in The Narrative of the life of Frederick Douglass: chapter 11?
vlada-n [284]

Frederick Douglas uses metaphors in this chapter such as <em>“…and thereby run the hazard of closing the slightest avenue by which a brother slave might clear himself of the chains and fetters of slavery”</em> to tell the reader that enslavement is not just a restriction of liberty of one’s body but also the restriction of one’s soul. The mind of a slave is not free. Douglas also lets the reader know that even though himself is free from slavery physically, his mind and spirit is not because society did not create conditions so he can feel like a completely free man.

Frederick also mentions “<em>I have never approved of the very public manner in which some of our western friends have conducted what they call underground railroad…” </em>By underground railroad he that meant the secret and illegal routes and houses that helped slaves to escape to free cities.

He compares some men that were “money kidnappers” - men who gained money to bring back slaves who fled to nonslave states as - <em>“ferocious beasts of the forest like in wait for their prey”</em>

How did black women's experience in the Civil Rights Movement affect them afterwards WOMEN IN THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT.
stich3 [128]

The civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s overturned the trend of "race" segregation in public facilities in the South and won the greatest significant breakthrough in equal-rights legislation for African Americans since Reconstruction (1865–77).

<h3>How did women get equality with the help of the civil right act?</h3>

To address these issues, a second women's rights movement formed in the 1960s. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits employment differentiation based on gender, as well as race, color, national origin, and religion.

Nonetheless, women were still denied jobs based on their gender and were frequently harassed at work. Feminists who were dissatisfied with the lack of progress made by women and the government's lax implementation of Title VII founded the National Organization for Women in 1966.

(NOW). NOW advocated for workplace equality, including equal pay for women, as well as increased female representation in public office, the professions, and graduate and professional degree programs.

Therefore, with the help of the civil right act women experienced equal rights.
