Answer:

1808.

Explanation:

<em>"There is a sense in which the Clause is no longer constitutionally relevant since it expired in 1808. At the time the Constitution was adopted, there was no guarantee whether or when the federal Congress would act to prohibit the importation of slaves. So there is a legitimate inquiry about what took place in the political realm over the 20-year period between the adoption of the Constitution and 1808. During that time period, popular support for the abolition of the slave trade and slavery itself increased both in the United States and in other countries. There was more support for restricting the slave trade initially than slavery itself in this time period. In the 1790s, Congress passed statutes regulating the trade in slaves by U.S. ships on the high seas. The United Kingdom and other countries also passed legislation restricting the slave trade, increasing international pressure on the United States to likewise curb the practice."</em>

Which best describes W. E. B. Du Bois's opinion of Booker T. Washington’s accommodationist approach?
Rainbow [258]
It reinforced segregation and discrimination.

Booker T. Washington (1856-1915) advocated gradualism.  That meant being patient and doing what white society would allow, which meant changes and better times for blacks would come slowly.

A different point of view was taken by W.E.B. Du Bois (1868-1963).  Du Bois noted that Washington's approach was not accomplishing any real gains for blacks.  He also felt that Washington's point of view showed acceptance of the racial inferiority of blacks.  Plus he saw that institutions in the black community were being dominated by persons like Washington, rather than really empowering all individuals for themselves.  Du Bois argued that all black citizens should have the right to vote, equality as citizens, and access to education according to their abilities, and his approach was more confrontational, attacking segregation using protests, lawsuits, and publications.   Du Bois was strongly active in the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).
