What Was The Impact On The Rights Of African American Women

Primarily, the slaves took a great proportion of the development of economy at that century. If there were no existence of slavery, the economy of America would not be so rapidly. Secondly, considering from the political aspect, at the beginning of establishing United States, the South slave owners played a significant role in the politic, thus the slavery related to the South slave owners also needed to be reserved. And slave owners required lots of slaves to develop their economy and gain money, thus slaves were indispensable for them. So they supported that implementing the slavery in the Newlands. However, the Northern people were developing capitalism. And in order to develop their economy, the slavery was an obstacle on their development. Because of free labor, commodity market and raw material were required. Thus, the North-South contradiction became more and more intensive. The constitution concerned to keep the peace and ease contraction between north-south

The south losing economic profit was not the only worrisome thing on the rich southern aristocrat’s mind, they also feared their political, and social influences being ripped away from them. The manifest destiny of the 19th century allowed European settlers the ability to expand their territory across North America believing it was their destiny to conquest all things on the north America continent. The liberation of African American from slavery went against the manifest destiny since the destiny focused on European settlers enforcing their political and social authority over others. Comparatively, the south dreaded the rise of free African Americans since the rise would shatter the racial hierarchy put in place by white supremacist of America.

In the late 19th century, the American people began to go west. Americans began to pour into the West because of rapid population growth and affordable land (Importance of the West). They were also promised wide open land and to be free of Indians (Importance of the West). The West was in fact not free of Indians, and there were several wars that ensued in Arkansas, Montana, Washington, and California (Youngs).

“I fought through the civil war and have seen men shot to pieces and slaughtered by thousands, but the Cherokee removal was the cruelest work I ever knew”, remarked a Georgia soldier who had participated in the removal of Indian Natives during the mid-1800’s. As a result of the Indian Removal Act, Indian natives have been perceived as mistreated and cheated throughout history. The Indian Removal Act was passed during the presidency of Andrew Jackson on May 28, 1830. This act granted authorization to the president to exchange unsettled lands west of Mississippi for Indian lands residing in state borders. Initially, the Indian Removal Act of 1830 was passed to expand the Southern United State for farmland and to aid the government in furthering our development as a nation. With this plan in mind, the government provided money to establish districts in the west of the Mississippi River for the Indian natives, ensured trade and exchange in those districts, allowed Native Indian tribes to be compensated for the cost of their removal and the improvements of their homesteads, and also pay one years’ worth subsistence to those Native Indians who relocated to the west.

During the 19th century, slavery expanded geographically and demographically in the South and Southwest of America, generating a wave of abolitionist movements. These events provoked a different response in the country’s society, since not everyone shared the same definition of slavery and freedom. These concepts started to get involved in almost every part of American sociopolitical life, creating differing points of view that would later conform the two sides in the Civil War of America: The Union in the north, and Confederacy in the south.

The years between 1860 and 1877 are filled with many developments in the views of the American people. The North consisted of free states based on an industrial economy while the South based its agricultural economy on the enslavement of colored males and females. The two sections of America had two very different views on how the United States should become a world power. Constitutional developments such as secession of the Southern states in 1860, the Emancipation Proclamation, and other acts and amendments contributed to more discontent throughout the country. Developments such as the Black Codes, Freedmen's Bureau, and the creation of the Ku Klux Klan contributed to the Social aspect of the argument. Problems like these had been amounting

I believe the United States Declaration of Independence did not fulfill or acknowledge the rights of Native Americans and African Americans at all, as both racial parties didn’t have the right to freedom and equality. African Americans and Native Americans didn't have the right to equality in society during 1815 to 1850. According to Document 2, (Highland, 1843) “Brothers, your oppressors try to make you as much like animals as possible.” This quote demonstrates the status African Americans had in society from 1815 to 1850. There were oppressors in society that brought down the African American people to the status of an unequal.

If you were dragged out of your home just because someone wanted it for themselves, would you understand that to be beneficial and for your own good? In 1830, Congress passed the Indian Removal Act of 1830 believing that by evacuating the natives from their genealogical lands would not only benefit them, but the indians as well. Despite Congress’s policy of assimilation or peaceful removal, Andrew Jackson described it to be best for the indians to leave the lands that America claimed to be theirs even though he once thought of the Indians as sovereign nation. The Indian Removal Act of 1830 was not beneficial for the native americans because some of the tribes were falsely represented in signing their removal treaties., they were treated harshly

Slavery was always a controversial issue in America. Many people saw slavery as an essential part of life in every aspect, while others saw it as immoral and an injustice to humanity. In the 1840s when Manifest Destiny started to thrive, things began to heat up. New territories meant a possibility for a new slave or free state in America. Because the new territories were allowed the right of popular sovereignty to determine whether they would have slaves or not, abolitionists and non-abolitionists were at a constant battle to gain a new state.

The central focus for this lesson is to have student analyze an injury question, develop a hypothesis and revise that said hypothesis after several data sets to have a specific thesis statement that is specific to all events leading up to the inquiry question. The inquiry question the students are analyzing is; what are the major effects of the Indian Removal Act of 1830? The students will be given several data sets of events that occurred after the act was initiated and draw conclusions and revise their thesis statement as they go.

"Take time to deliberate; but when the time for action arrives, stop thinking and go in.'

I agree with you that Jackson he had many good accomplishments, but I do not think that Jackson's Indian Removal Act was in any way humane. This Policy forced tribes to abandon their homes and move to remote reservations. Thousands of these tribe members died on their way because they contracted disease or simply due to starvation.

A similar situation that I can imagine happening today would be the continuous protests of African-Americans that sometimes goes to the extreme of destroying neighborhoods, businesses, retaliation on racist policeman, etc. I believe that this could lead to the removal of African-Americans because they could be labeled as a threat to the nation for expressing concern over a specific issue, even if it is extreme. It could also affect African-Americans who have not even been caught in action because the government could say that all blacks feel negatively towards policemen and therefore need to be

African Americans have been through so much since being uprooted from their home in Africa. Most people do not understand what happened to African Americans and they understand what they had to go through to be where they are today. It went from being kings in the comfort of their home to being thrown on a boat packed like sardines to be forced to work in the fields. The trip was a massacre itself because many did not make it due to the treatment from others. African Americans have always been treated like outsiders and it took many people to sway the perception of others to be where they are today. Through all the ups and downs African Americans persevered and made it out the struggle. African Americans has always been treated badly all groups of people and they always looked down on African Americans. Throughout the history involving African American, it showed the constant inferiority treatment. African Americans were slaves years ago, people still look at blacks as less important than other people. Slavery has a huge impact on our society today because people are still bias and unfair towards African Americans, most African Americans are still living in poverty and don’t have proper education beyond high school which is why they don’t have the equal opportunity for jobs. African Americans still continue to sit in the shadow behind white people.

America is a country that allows people freedom and equality. In the Declaration of Independence, it states that “all men are created equal” and most people agreed with that. However, there were a few people who thought that slaves were not part of the equality factor. Those people, who were mostly slave owners, saw the African Americans as property and did not see them as equals. Since there was such a big difference in views, it created many tensions between the people. Some people wanted to get rid of slavery and give them freedom and equality, some wanted to get rid of slavery but not make slaves equal to other people, and others wanted to keep slavery as it is. Mostly, there was a disagreement between the South and the North and since there is a difference in other factors such as political and economic, these things began to create tensions and drive them farther apart. During 1783-1859, there were numerous cultural, political, and religious tensions and differences between the United States North and South which led to the unforgettable American Civil War. For this essay, I will be using six sources to support my thesis.
