1) The civil rights movement was a worldwide political movement for equality before the law occurring between approximately 1950 and 1980. In many situations it took the form of campaigns of civil resistance aimed at achieving change by nonviolent forms of resistance. In some situations it was accompanied, or followed, by civil unrest and armed rebellion.
ReplyDelete1. Lincoln won the election, and he thought they re-elected him and because they agreed with him on going to war to reunite the country and emancipation of the south. Railroads were uprooted and plantions were left in shrubble. They took in Robert E Lee and later Jerffseon Davis. Very little south had been untouched, livestock were gone. It took a great toll on the ecomony.
ReplyDelete2. The blacks didn't have very many rights. There was poll taxes and liteacy tests in order to vote. And it went to the Supreme Court and they said it didn't Jim Crow Law didn't vioalte the 14 Ammendment and they had segration.
2) From the time of the Civil War up into the 1960s African Americans still weren't viewed in a kind way. They were free, but there was still segregation, due to the passing of the Jim Crow Laws. Many whites still viewed themselves as superior to blacks. Finally the Civil Rights movement came along. Blacks started protesting, demanding equal treatement. Great leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. rose up out of the movement. Slowly but surely the races became integrated and blacks gained more rights.
ReplyDeleteThe ramification had effects on many places. Railroads were uprooted and plantations were left in shambles and cities were burnt to the ground. Very little of the south had been untouched and many cotton feilds had been burnt. The war really hurt the souths economy. Most devastating was losing the slaves because the owners of the slaves didnt know what to do or how to live without them working and doing everything for them.
ReplyDeleteThe war had major effects espefcially to the South. The generals went through the south, took a city, captured it, and then burnt it to the ground like that of Charlestown, Atlanta. This took not only a devastion toll but a very large economic toll. People no longer had homes or places for business. Many were struggling just to survive. It took at least ten years for the south to return to it's former glory.
ReplyDeleteThe cival war brought an end to slavery, but didn't end segregation. The civil rights movement in the 1960's was started shortly after the civil war, but never really cought until then. The blacks were using different tactics before Martin Luther King Jr. started a rebellion towards the "seperate but equal" system.
ReplyDelete1. i watched it
ReplyDelete2. after the war the south was destroyed .there were no longer jobs and labor law/forces. share cropping took effect and laws were places on AA's . laws that limited them segregation and thier freedom . but later on things like seprate schools or seprate bathrooms and water fountins and things like that.
After the war South was completly destroyed. There were no jobs, no labor force, and nobody knew what to do.
ReplyDeletePlantation owners started share cropping and placing laws on african americans. Laws limited Black's freedom and segregation began. Seperate facilities began to spring up. The supreme court said that seperate but equal rights did not go against the 14th amendment. Soon blacks and whites would be seprate,but blacks not as equal. This would lead to the civil rights movement later on.
1. Linclon won because they agreed about war to reunite the union and to free the slaves. South was destoryed.
ReplyDelete2. Blacks had little to no rights. The poll taxes & liteacy tests made it so they couldnt vote. Everything was equal but separate.
After the Civil War ended African Americans were still treated unfairly. They were free but there was still segregation from the Jim Crow Laws, Poll Taxes, and Literecy Tests. Whites still thought higher of themselves and thought that the blacks were still dirt. Blacks got tired of it and protested. The African Americans formed mutual aid societies, started businesses, stregnthend their churches, and built schools. Eventually the blacks got more rights and became more equal.
ReplyDelete1- The cival rights was a worldwide movement. It was a way to have people feel protected. It was also a political movement that happened in 1950-1980. It affected the economy a lot during that time.
ReplyDelete2- The "New South" looked like the old South that later on made many problems. The problem could have been avoided to.
1.) Although the civil war abolished slavery, there were still harsh systems used by the whites for discrimination. Like blacks were not allowed to be associated with whites in numbers of institutions. Black and white reformers struggled to get rid of the practices. Other developments of the war years promoted pressure for civil rights. One was massive movement of black Americans out of the rural South in order to take defense-related jobs in northern and western cities. This migration continued in the 1950s and 1960s, and greatly increased black voting strength and the potential for black community organization. Black soldiers, serving abroad in World War II, witnessed a less oppressive world of race relations than they had known in the South. Many returned home determined to fight racism.
