There have been successful acts of resistance and consolidations of liberty in America since its foundation as the thirteen English colonies.

The first act of resistance that consolidated liberty was the American Revolution. It wrestled liberty from the English Monarchy and gave the Americans a voice in how government ruled. The days of <em>taxation without representation</em> came to a near end.

The Shays' Rebellion (1786 to 1787) was another landmark resistance to an oppressive government. It involved armed uprisings in Massachusetts and Worcester because of the debt crisis and continued imposition of <em>taxation without representation</em> by the Continental Government of the state. The Shays' Rebellion prompted the drafting of the Constitution of the Federal Republic with the accompanying Bill of Rights.  To date, the Bill of Rights has become the centerpiece of all resistance to the usurpation of liberty.

Lastly, the Civil Rights Movement (1954 - 1968) nailed the coffin of <em>white supremacy, black slavery, and segregation</em>. The Supreme Court backed the movement with its landmark ruling, in <em>Brown v. Board of Education</em>, that overturned <em>"the separate but equal facilities"</em> doctrine (Jim Crow obnoxious laws) that enveloped the liberty of America's people of color for many centuries.

Thus, the remaining constraints to acts of resistance include the eradication of American Nazism and the full acceptance of the principles of the Constitution, which recognized that all peoples are created equal before God.

Was general thomas gage a patriot or loyalist or neutral
umka21 [38]
<span>Loyalist. Let's take a look at a few points in General Thomas Gage's history and decide what he is. In April 1775, General Gage received orders to take action against the Patriots. In June 1775, Gage issued a proclamation granting a general pardon to all who would demonstrate loyalty to the crown. I don't think I need to look further. General Thomas Gage was definitely a Loyalist during the American Revolutionary War.</span>

Explain why African Americans have not yet reached economic equality with white Americans.
Alekssandra [29.7K]

African American families have a fraction of the wealth of white families, that makes them more economically insecure and with far fewer opportunities for economic mobility. As considering increased education levels, African Americans have less wealth than whites.

<h3>Why there is still economic inequality between the African Americans?</h3>

Unfortunately, wealth in this country is unequally distributed by race, mainly between the white and black.

African Americans have less wealth than whites. Less wealth results into fewer opportunities for upward mobility and to build wealth or pass accumulated wealth down to future generations.

African Americans faced so many systematic challenges in cutting the wealth gap with whites.
