Equality During The Civil War

Numerous events have happened where great injustices were acted out on minorities, whoever that group might be in a particular part of the world. A prime example would be the civil rights movement in the United States. The civil rights movement is always thought of in terms of the distant past, which is not the case. The height of the movement wasn’t fifty years ago. Also, just because segregation was abolished in the United States, doesn’t mean that racism was extinguished too.

In Lincoln 's inaugural speech he said "This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing Government, they can exercise their 'constitutional ' right of amending it or they are 'revolutionary ' right to dismember or overthrow it"(Abraham Lincoln 's First Inaugural Address). The 12th of April 1861, the Civil War began. There were many conflicts between the two sides. 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.

Post-racial America is a myth. The colorblind/post-racial theory that race no longer matters in America’s society and that the rights and racial order (mainly whites-blacks) of America in post-Civil Rights era just falls short of the truth. Up until 1964, the Jim Crow laws were state and local laws implementing racial segregation in Southern America. Both whites and African-Americans lived under the “separate but equal” status for black citizens and racism was the norm. July 2nd, 1964 brought the end of Jim Crow laws and introduced the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which became a landmark in America’s history by enforcing the civil rights of all citizens and outlawing discrimination based on one’s race, religion, sex, or color.

Throughout the history of America, blacks have continuously been perceived as inferior to whites. At first, due to the legality of slavery, blacks were not identified as people, but property. This was a regular practice until the passing of the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth amendments, which granted rights to black inhabitants of America. Hypothetically, these rights were to make newly freed slaves equal to their white cohabitants, but this wasn’t the case. Court cases, laws, and illicit practices, ensured that blacks would remain inferior to whites.

A big problem we have right now in the United States are the presidential candidates. A big threat to our country is Donald Trump winning the election. He is just an overall bad guy, he is racist and sexist. He said that if he wins, he will deport immigrants back to where they came from, which is really unthoughtful, especially since his wife is mexican. If Donald Trump wins the election and does all the things he said he would do, then the citizens of United States would definitely rebel against the government.

Our country has gone through changes since we have acquired a new president, Donald J. Trump. The United States is divided over whether to support or oppose him. One of the most popular debatable topics right now is the entry of terrorist and refugees into the United States. Whether we should block off certain countries to protect the security of America. An executive order is implemented to block off certain countries entrance.

In the last election it was one of President Trumps main areas of focus. In his speech “Immigration: Let Me Tell You About My Plan” he said, “ Countless Americans (who) have died in recent years would be alive today if not for the open border policies of this Administration.” (Paragraph 19). Immigration is something that people on this side of the topic think causes too many problems in this country and should be stopped for the good of the American

Possibly so, as any major social issue back then affects how it appears in the present (violence, for example). Maybe the belief that racism is over isn 't entirely true, especially with the presence of a presumptive presidential candidate who wants to ban all Muslim immigrants and deport all 11.2 million illegal immigrants. With this reality, is it an outrageous goal to think that we as humanity can change our ways for the better? Can we really experience the redemptive power of God in this day and age? Let us consider the words of Father Jim Martin as he reflects on Jesus 's claim on the believer, saying, "His teachings are invitations, to be sure, but they are also commands: Love your neighbors. "

Racial segregation remained throughout most of the country until the 1960s. African-Americans did not possess the political rights that were granted to white people during this time. At this time, the civil rights movement pushed for equal rights and desired to change the nation’s laws and practices in regards to segregation. Protests and calls for self-reliance influenced equality across the country. With the civil rights movement came the “rebirth of feminism, the Chicano movement, gay rights movement, and the American Indian movement” (Henretta, 817-818) The West contested with Native Americans, while the South was involved in racism towards

U.S.A. : United Slaves of America and the Bill of Whites Since America’s discovery in 1492 to the abolition of segregation in 1964, The United States has been steeped in a violent history resulting in the devolution of people of color. Some argue that with the abolition of slavery and segregation, racial discrimination came to an end. Many argue that America is the land of opportunity for all. However, recent events that began with the murder of Trayvon Martin. have many questioning if mass incarcerations, police brutality, and unequal opportunity are recurrent from the past.

Donald trump wants to run for president because he wants to make America great again. Donald Trump would be a good president because he wants to be stricter with china in regards to trade. Donald Trump wants to deport twelve illegal immigrants as a bad policy and that Donald Trump wants to get the best deal for the United States. If Donald Trump was president that he would send all Syrians home. That he would
