Evidence that the Irish were considered white

History

Veronika [31]2 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

Explanation:

In the 19th-century United States, racism was rampant. Chinese immigrants were openly mocked, often in unfavorable newspaper caricatures. Germans were stereotyped as loitering in beer halls. African-Americans were portrayed in demeaning advertisements. And Irish people — who were not considered "white" by the existing majority at the time — were mistreated, too.

More than 1.5 million people left Ireland for the United States between 1845 and 1855, the survivors of a potato famine that had wiped out more than 1 million people in their homeland. They arrived poor, hungry and sick, and then crowded into cramped tenements in Boston, New York and other Northeastern cities to start anew under difficult conditions.

The struggles of Irish immigrants were compounded by the poor treatment they received from the white, primarily Anglo-Saxon and Protestant establishment. America's existing unskilled workers worried they would be replaced by immigrants willing to work for less than the going rate. And business owners worried that Irish immigrants and African-Americans would band together to demand increased wages.

What was it like to be an African American during the Jim Crow era?
Deffense [45]

Answer:

Although I could never know the hardships that people went through during the era of Jim Crow, I would think that the African American community would be frustrated about how they had been treated during the time. People such as Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr. stood up for themselves and their people and helped with the racial injustices. It must have been hard, and to be brought up in a community in which you are put down and segregated because of something as insignificant as the color of your skin, where racism was justified by people in power. Growing up with the mindset that people don't appreciate you because of how you look must have been hard to understand, but something that was frequent and became the mindset of many. To put it in simpler terms, it must have been extremely tough.

Explanation:

Again, these are just my thoughts on how people must have felt, I myself have not experienced any of these hardships in life and I hope I did not come across the wrong way.

Discuss the impact of the trans-Alantic Slave trade between West Africa and the americas
Ymorist [56]

The Atlantic slave trade or transatlantic slave trade involved the transportation by slave traders of enslaved African people, mainly to the Americas. The slave trade regularly used the triangular trade route and its Middle Passage, and existed from the 16th to the 19th centuries. The vast majority of those who were enslaved and transported in the transatlantic slave trade were people from central and western Africa, who had been sold by other West Africans to Western European slave traders, who brought them to the Americas. The South Atlantic and Caribbean economies especially were dependent on the supply of secure labour for the production of commodity crops, making goods and clothing to sell in Europe. This was crucial to those western European countries which, in the late 17th and 18th centuries, were vying with each other to create overseas empires.

6.Imagine you are living in Los Angeles in 1944 and have just read about the case of Korematsu v. the United States. Write a let
Sati [7]
Dear Editor of the Los Angeles Times,Hello. I am a white American citizen living in Los Angeles. I have just read about theSupreme Court case of Korematsu v. the United States, and had some opinions I would like todiscuss. This case as made me very irate as I do not agree with the way Japanese Americansare being treated.I believe that forcing Japanese Americans into internment camps is unfair andunconstitutional. It is bypassing their rights as American citizens. Yes, they are of Japanesedissent, but they chose to be here. They left their home country, culture, family, and basicallyeverything they knew behind just to become citizens in this country. They want nothing morethan to take advantage of all this great land has to offer, just like everyone else. It is unfair todiscriminate against them because of their nationality. Korematsu should not have beenarrested for resisting containment, as freedom is a founding principal of the United States. Iagree with the dissenting opinion, as the majority voted to withhold Korematsu’s conviction
