The Jim Crow Laws enforced racial segregation and discrimination in the Southern United States between the late 19th century and mid-20th century. They originated after the Reconstruction Era ended in 1877 and Democrats regained control of Southern state legislatures. The laws were named after a popular minstrel show song and restricted African Americans to separate public facilities under the doctrine of "separate but equal." It was not until the Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s and 1960s that the Jim Crow laws were challenged and eventually abolished.

There were several events leading up to the Civil War that increased tensions over the issue of slavery:
1) The Missouri Compromise of 1820 attempted to regulate slavery in the Louisiana Purchase territories by prohibiting it north of the 36°30' parallel, but could not resolve the status of slavery in future territories.
2) The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 established the principle of "popular sovereignty" for determining slavery in the territories but led to violent clashes between pro- and anti-slavery settlers in "Bleeding Kansas."
3) John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry in 1859, though a failure, polarized the nation and increased sectional tensions by portraying Brown as a martBlack history

The document provides an overview of migration and industrialization in the late 19th century United States. It discusses the movement of Native Americans, white settlers, and immigrants to the western frontier, driven by desires for land, economic opportunity, and the American Dream. It also outlines the government's attempts to force Native Americans off their lands through broken treaties, killing of buffalo herds, and violence like the Wounded Knee massacre. Industrialization and policies like the Homestead Act spurred further migration, while the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad connected the country. Farmers faced hardship and formed the Populist movement to advocate for economic reforms benefiting agricultural workers.Failures of Compromise and the Prelude to War

This document discusses the growing tensions around the issue of slavery in the United States leading up to the Civil War. It outlines several compromises attempted to balance the interests of slaveholding and free states, including the Missouri Compromise of 1820 which divided states between slave and free, and the Compromise of 1850 which included a stronger Fugitive Slave Act. However, the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 repealed the Missouri Compromise boundary and led to violent clashes known as "Bleeding Kansas" as both sides fought over whether the territories would allow slavery, further exacerbating the national divide and strengthening the new Republican Party in opposition to the expansion of slavery.Jim crow laws_impact_on

Jim Crow laws, enacted between 1877 and 1954, legally enforced racial segregation and denied blacks equal rights to whites. These laws impacted the civil rights movement by sparking protests from blacks seeking equal treatment and full citizenship rights. The civil rights act of 1964 and voting rights act of 1965 ultimately overturned Jim Crow laws and guaranteed blacks equal protection under the law.1980's

The document summarizes the Reconstruction era in the United States after the Civil War from 1865 to 1877. It describes the two phases of Reconstruction - Presidential Reconstruction led by Lincoln and Johnson which took a more lenient approach, and Congressional Reconstruction led by Radical Republicans which established military rule in the South and rights for African Americans. However, Reconstruction ultimately failed to achieve full equality as the North withdrew support and white Southerners retook political power, imposing Jim Crow laws that reinforced racial segregation and disenfranchisement.Jim Crow Law

The document discusses the end of Reconstruction and the rise of Jim Crow laws in the Southern United States. After Reconstruction ended in 1877, the federal troops withdrew from the South and the Freedmen's Bureau was shut down. Without these protections, racist Southern states passed Jim Crow laws that segregated public spaces and denied African Americans their civil and political rights, such as requiring poll taxes to vote. Groups like the Ku Klux Klan used violence and intimidation to enforce racial segregation and prevent African Americans from exercising their rights.Causes of the Civil War power point worksheet

The document summarizes the history and practice of lynching in the United States from the post-Civil War era through the mid-20th century. It describes lynching as the illegal killing of a person by a mob or group outside of legal authority, often involving hanging, burning, or shooting. Lynching targeted African Americans and was most common in the Southern states during times of social and economic tension. Nearly 3,500 black Americans were lynched between 1882 and 1920, though lynching was declared illegal in the US in the 1960s. A key example discussed is the 1955 lynching of 14-year old Emmett Till in Mississippi, which helped spark the Civil Rights Movement.17 3 reconstruction in the south

President Garfield was shot by an assassin in July 1881 and lingered for 80 days before dying in September. The initial wound was minor but doctors probing for the bullet with unsterilized instruments turned it into a large, contaminated wound. As the wound worsened under the doctors' ministrations, Garfield developed a fever and his condition declined. He died from complications including a heart attack, turning what would likely have been a minor injury into a fatal case due to the medical treatment at the time.Reconstruction ºÝºÝߣshow Chapter 16

Censorship
CensorshipDeborah Bonnie
Ìý
Censorship in the United States involves the suppression of media like publications, films, and books that are considered offensive or a security threat. The First Amendment protects free speech, but different types of censorship still occur for religious, national security, economic, and political reasons. Some examples include film studios implementing self-censorship codes, limiting media access by age, and books sometimes being banned in schools for addressing topics like sexuality, vulgarity, or rebellion. However, there is no consensus on who determines what merits censorship.Greensboro

Four African American students from North Carolina A&T University - Franklin McCain, Jibreel Kazhan, Joseph McNeil, and David Richmond - started a sit-in at the segregated Woolworth's lunch counter in Greensboro on February 1, 1960. They refused to leave until they were served, despite facing harassment. Their peaceful protest against segregation laws spread to other Southern states and helped spur the wider Civil Rights Movement, with Woolworth's eventually agreeing to desegregate its stores on July 25, 1960.Marcus garvey

Reconstruction (1865-1877) aimed to rebuild the South after the Civil War and restore Southern states to the Union. It involved several plans and acts by Lincoln, Johnson, and Congress to repair infrastructure, establish the Freedmen's Bureau to aid former slaves, and define citizenship and voting rights through amendments to the Constitution. However, the withdrawal of federal troops from the South in 1877 after the Compromise effectively ended Congressional Reconstruction and left black southerners vulnerable to violence and intimidation through organizations like the Ku Klux Klan and oppressive policies like black codes and sharecropping.16. reconstruction online version 2012

This document provides an overview of Reconstruction in the United States from 1865-1877, including its successes and failures. Key events included Lincoln's assassination in 1865, the establishment of the Freedmen's Bureau to assist formerly enslaved people, and the passage of the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments granting citizenship and voting rights to Black men.

The Civil War (1861-1865) divided the United States along the lines of slave and free states. The North had a larger population and more industrial resources compared to the agrarian South. Notable leaders included President Lincoln and generals Grant and Lee, who led massive armies against one another. Key battles such as Gettysburg, Antietam, and Vicksburg involved tens of thousands of casualties and shifted momentum in the war, which the North ultimately won after General Lee's surrender in 1865. The war decisively ended slavery and restored the Union.(Unit 1) Civil War and Reconstruction Review
