It all depends how you look at it. Laws that were set up weren’t always followed correctly, but laws were still being set up to protect African Americans rights. It must have been a success because now today, they are known as citizens and have the right to vote. But then again, the rise of the Klu Klux Klan and other white supremacy groups, in combination with the Black Codes, began to intimidate freed slaves and push back their civil liberties. For me, the Reconstruction was a

Without his experiences as an escaped slave Frederick Douglass wouldn’t have been able to uses his experiences to help the persuade the audience of his speech as effectively as he did, and with his experiences it caused him to evoke more emotion as well. In addition, when frederick Douglass appealed to the logical side of why slavery needs to end the reasoning that he provided was very compelling. When slavery was abolished in 1865 Frederick Douglass was able to experience some of the freedom he fought for until he died in 1895, so his hard work was not for nothing, but people would continue to fight for equality for years to

Douglass was tired of his master taking control over him, so he fought back against slavery. Douglass tries to prove the point of anti-slavery and racial arguments, relating to the Scientific

The element of time is referenced by X as justification for the violence, this is evident when he says, “Civil Rights, for those of us whose philosophy is Black nationalism means: 'Give it to us now. Don’t wait for next year. Give it to us yesterday, and that’s not fast enough. '” (Malcolm, 439). Already his tone is more aggressive than the early integrationists who birthed the movement.

The Philosophies of Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. Du Bois Two black leaders emerged in the tumultuous years following the Civil War - one from the North and one from the South. Both wanted equal rights for blacks but they did not agree on how to attain these changes in American society. These men were Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. Du Bois. They had similarities but also differences in their upbringing, education, and ideas for a path forward for black Americans at the time.

White American men became powerful through a simple process, education. Education gave them the tools and skills necessary to fight England and thrive as a nation. Soon after the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776, white American men began to subjugate those they felt they were superior to. Because of this, the American economy relied on slavery - while

Former Confederate leaders like Jefferson Davis and Alexander Stephens claimed that the Civil War was fought because of state’s rights and how they wanted to fight back against federal tyranny. After reading the Apostles of Disunion: Southern Secession Commissioners and the Causes of the Civil War, I agree that the war was fought because of state’s rights. The people in the South wanted to keep slavery and were going to do anything they could to keep slavery. They believe that the government was trying to oppress the South by making them get rid of their slaves.

In this context, the Emancipation Proclamation was a defining factor in the moral foundation of the Civil War, which had been fought on the issue of slavery as a contradiction to American freedom. More so, northern abolitionist provided greater moral and economic support for Lincoln’s cause, since he had become fully committed to ending slavery as an institution throughout the South. In this context, Lincoln not only ended slavery, but he also gained much needed military and economic morale by taking greater control of the governmental and military establishment to accomplish this victory over the

America the free, land of opportunity--but only if you fit a specific mold. Slaves, especially women, were certainly not included. Even after their emancipation, African Americans struggled with exclusion, whether it be direct, indirect, political, social or other. James Baldwin, an African American man, contrasts the types of oppression he, and others, have faced in “A Letter to my Nephew” , drawing parallels from slavery to the discrimination of the 60’s. He explains how many think blacks must assimilate into “white” culture, but, in reality, it must be those who think that way who must escape from the mentality of needing to assimilate.

Many wonder how a minority group like the African American community were able to achieve their goals with all the hate that they were presented with. Starting with an force immigration that made them become slaves, to having to fight to be free from slavery and now having to fight for their rights of equality. If it was not for Movements like the Civil Right Movement, the Black Power Movement and the Black Life Matter movement that helped to let the African American voice to be heard and to help improve the hardship and disaster they were presented with. The Civil Right Movement was about fighting to end segregation, that was affecting the education and equality to the African Americans community. After the battle against segregation was ending the African American population began The Black Power movement which was about having equality with the involvement in politics and the American Economy, and was lead by The Black Panther.

Being black was never easy in the past and it still isn 't today. However, our ancestors fought so it can be better. Black history isn 't just about slavery and the civil rights movement. It 's about how we conquered and overcame our challenges. In this essay, I 'm going to write events in history that show how we fought for our freedom, our black history milestones, and how black Africans made the U.S. what it is today.

Although, some or a lot of African Americans in our society still suffer from the slavery sequela, and the burden of racism, but we cannot disagree that their remarkable progress and integrity in such a short time is astonishing, and the best example is having a first African American president in the history of the United States. It is not surprising for the ancestors that came from the birthplace of humanity, and endure a harrowing journey of torture to be brave enough and overcome the injustice by preparing the ground of freedom to the upcoming generations, because when it comes to African Americans, what does not kill you make you stronger is a reality, and the best is yet to

Many believe it was a fight for the rights and freedom of slaves, so what was the main cause of the Civil War was the issue of states rights and the preservation of the Union than rather than the issue of slavery. The primary cause of the Civil War was the issue of slavery. “Slavery played an important role in changing the United States slaves didn 't had any right. ”(Overview of Slavery).

The Ladder of Booker T. Washington is a sculpture by Martin Puryear, which features a wooden ladder, which is suspended from the ceiling with nearly invisible cables. The ladder itself was hand crafted, made from an ash tree that had taken on an odd zig zag growth pattern, which is still present in the ladder. The ladder is four hundred and thirty-two feet long, twenty-two and three fourths of an inch wide at the bottom which narrows to three inches at the top. The ladder is surrounded by three walls, one to the left, right, and behind the sculpture all made of concrete. With three lights casting three different shadows of the ladder onto the floor and walls.

George Washington, Winston Churchill, and finally Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.. These men have been revered to give hope to those who needed it. George Washington rose up against the British and made America what it is today, Winston Churchill stood against the invading German air force and won the Battle of Britain. These men had only gotten their victories through violence and many men died for their causes. Dr. King got what he wanted through peace and didn’t even resort to violence.
