Strom Thurmond

Slave owners including John C. Calhoun, Benjamin Tillman, and Storm Thurmond are all slave owners who took part in the slavery act in Clemson. These men were the leaders of the slave driven act and kept women and men and had them work for free. These men and women did not receive any form of payment and were lucky if they

Personally, I believe it is difficult to place ourselves in the shoes of the senators that were faced with these decisions. Looking back at these speeches now, I can truly see the hard work and mental strain that these men went through in order to place this bill.

There are three historical areas of inequality in the feminist

Kindness is the Key “…it is wrong to use immoral means to attain moral ends”, what does this quote mean? Also, what does the quote “it is just as wrong, or perhaps even more so, to use moral means to preserve immoral ends” mean? Martin Luther King Jr, a leader of the African-American Civil Rights Movement, interpreted his own quote as: violent, or immoral, protest is not the way to reach the goal of desegregation. He also described moral means to keep immoral ends as the police officers who “have

In the American Civil War, enslaved African-Americans fought for their freedom and in 1863, the Emancipation Proclamation ended slavery. Following the war, most African-American still suffered racial segregation and discrimination for a long time. The fight against discrimination and segregation resulted in the Civil Rights Movement, which took place between 1954 and 1968.
