Opelousas, Louisianas’ Black Codes passed in 1865 stated that, no negro could come into town, live, rent, or use land in town, go to any public meeting in town without a pass from a government official or white boss, they also couldn’t carry a gun unless in the military (Doc. B) a white person could do these things by their own choice. Former slave Henry Adams said to the U.S. Senate in 1880 that, he once asked the madam “‘ where was the boss?”’ She said, “‘You should say ‘master’ You are not free... and you shall call every white lady ‘missus’ and every white man ‘master’.’” (Doc. C.), many would say African Americans weren’t free because whites didn’t think they

During Reconstruction, African Americans’ freedoms were very restricted. There were strict regulations on voting, relationships, employment, firearms, and other freedoms that white people had. African American faced disenfranchisement for years after being freed and becoming citizens. In What a Black Man Wants by Frederick Douglass, Douglass angrily demands the freedom to vote that every American deserved. He assesses the black man’s contribution to society and wonders why this contribution has not led to more rights. Those who were supposed to be fighting for the rights of freed slaves were not speaking up. Even the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society was not fighting for the rights of the freed slaves. Because of the restrictions on voting, African Americans did not have the same power over their own lives that white people had. Disenfranchisement is just one way white people limited freedoms of freed slaves.

In this new age of technology, information is becoming more readily available to practically everyone. This revolution has raised one major concern for the students of our generation: that we will not be able to think at all. That this generation will rely so heavily on the ability to access information immediately that we subsequently lose the ability to think for ourselves. This will not happen, however. Although many believe the internet is spoiling our generation, the fact of the matter is that the internet actually enriches our education and aids us in coming up with more educated solutions.

Document B is a journal entry from a man named Charles Mackay on his experience in the North. It gives us what blacks should be able to do and what restriction the had. According to Doc B, “We shall not make a black man a slave; we shall not buy or sell him; but we shall not associate with him”. This document tells us what rights black’s should have and what restrictions they could have.

rights as white men. Blacks did enjoy more freedom, leaving the Southern plantations in hopes

God does not love transgressors. There will be a reward for those who fight for God.” (doc.8) These documents are trying to explain that fighting for God is good, but fighting for no reason is useless/ pointless. If you shall fight for God than you will be rewarded, if you fall in battle you are promised a spot in heaven.

People in authority tend to disregard those who and that which does not benefit them, since the poor did not seem to benefit anybody, people in authority found them useless. For instance, Emperor Charles V wrote an imperial decree for the Netherlands in 1531, where he stated that alms should not be given freely to the Europeans living in poverty, in doing so not only does he believe they will fall into idleness but he thinks they will take advantage of this and live their lives based off of alms, and that it will soon lead to all evils (document 2). He states that “beggars and their children will abandon their trade or occupation for a wicked and contemptible life… above all those who are poor and sick, and other indigents unable to earn

“The freedom of self, the equality of human, the independence of mind, and the right of heart.” Quoted by Thomas Jefferson in 1818. ‘How free were free blacks in North’ all depended on sociality. The lives of blacks were so complicated and restricted from normal human in North. Although ex-fugitive slaves in North could not be bought or sold, they were forbidden to associate with whites. “We are of another race, and he is inferior. Let him know his place and keep it.” Stated again by Charles Mackay. Restrictions of blacks included not doing things with whites in such manner. The most important cassette of life and humanity. Social rights affected the phase of civil life in the America. The freedom of society commenced by a declaration would change the way of life and living forever.

In the duration of the Antebellum period,our sovereign Republic was governed by fifteen various presidents. Each individual head of state affected our present united nation, but one that was effortlessly discernable in comparison to the rest and this was George Washington. George Washington was very accomplished throughout his presidency, was cautious invoking the country in foreign affairs, and endured devastations with serenity.

“Free Black people still faced danger. Many appeared in court to ask for a Certificate of Freedom. The claimant had to prove that he/she was born free or had been previously freed. If the court was satisfied, it would

In 1939 the world was plunged into World War II because of the Munich Agreement. The Munich Agreement was an agreement regarding the Sudetenland Crisis between the major powers of Europe after a conference held in Munich in Germany in 1938. The Sudetenland was an important region of Czechoslovakia. The Treaty of Versailles was the peace treaty created as a result of six months of negotiations at the Paris Peace Conference of 1919, which put an official end to World War I between the Allies and Central Powers. The Munich Agreement caused many disagreements between European countries. Collective security was a more effective response to aggression than appeasement because more European countries disagreed than agreed

They virtually had no freedoms when it came to politics even though Reconstruction yet again put up a front as if they did. To summarize the 15th amendment, in Doc D, African American men now had the right to vote, but did this really mean they were able to actively participate in the government that led them? The answer is both yes and no, while African American men certainly had the ability to vote, most chose not to vote due to the danger and threat posed by the KKK. Nonetheless, it wasn’t only violence stopping former slaves, southern states installed state constitutions that made it even more difficult to vote. The states required an annual polling tax which was impossible for freedmen to pay due to the economic severity placed on them after the civil war. That was only the most just out of all the unjust rules placed, voters would also take a literacy test given by white clerks who purposely gave more complex passages to black voters as opposed to easier passages to whites. Now saying blacks couldn’t vote didn’t mean there were no black politicians. African Americans held office but as shown in Doc J did not hold a credible reputation. Black legislators - well not just black legislators but the race as a whole - held many stereotypes and were seen as lazy, classless, and rowdy. In addition to these stereotypes, many black legislators were believed to be puppets and or corrupt. Also expressed in Doc

How would feel if you were treated and thought of as something to be looked down upon and never considered an equal? In 1860 in the United States, there were 476,000 free blacks. 250,000 of these lived in the North. Even without slavery, free blacks in the North did not have an easy life because they were discriminated against and whites were prejudice against them. This leaves the question: "How free were free blacks in the North?"

I decided to do this response on sources 10 and 11 which were about the destruction of the Holy Sepulcher. Source 10 was from a Christian's point of view. Right away, the source begins by describing how the sepulcher was destroyed by the prince of Babylon, and how the Jews aided in the destruction as well. This source portrays Jews as being bitter, bold, and proud people. It also states that the reason why the prince of Babylon wanted to destroy the sepulcher was due to the fact that Christians were gaining power, and that they supposedly would soon take over his entire kingdom, which of course, the prince could not let happen. After the Christians had figured out that it was the jews that had helped destroy the temple, they disowned them from

In the time of Du Bois, African Americans may have been considered free but still lacked many civil liberties, that the whites were easily granted. One of the biggest civil liberties they lacked was
