MINORITIES AND POLITICS Understanding the Common Cause of Their Rise in Polit...
This document is a thesis submitted by Nam Kyu Kang analyzing the common factors that caused three minority groups in the United States - African Americans, Chicano Americans, and Korean Americans - to seek and gain political power. The thesis examines how each group endured years of discrimination and having their livelihoods overlooked by the government before rising up politically. For African Americans, it was the Civil Rights Movement that pushed them to gain political power. For Chicano Americans, it was the Delano Grape Strike that protested poor working conditions. And for Korean Americans, it was the 1992 LA Riots where the government failed to protect them during civil unrest. The document provides background on the oppression each group faced and reviews literature analyzing their paths to
Ethnic lit paper
The document discusses how race has historically been used as a social construct in America to categorize and oppress non-white groups for political and economic gain. It provides examples like the 1790 Naturalization Act that limited citizenship to whites and the 1887 Dawes Act that broke up Native American tribes and seized land for white settlers. Throughout American history, laws and policies have benefited whites and perpetuated racial inequalities, like systemic racism in the prison system today. The document argues that as long as whites remain in political power, they will continue using race to profit from oppressing other groups and maintain control over who is considered a true "American."
American culture revision
The document discusses key aspects of American culture, including:
1. Immigration and diversity have contributed to both a "melting pot" where cultures combine and a "salad bowl" where they remain distinct. Many Americans have a bicultural identity.
2. The dominant white Protestant culture influenced social standards until the Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s-60s challenged racial segregation led by Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X.
3. Core American values include individual freedom and self-reliance, equality of opportunity and competition, and material wealth through hard work. These values are balanced with responsibilities but do not always match reality, as opportunities are not always equal.
3 reasons for immigration
The document discusses immigration to the United States. It describes how the US is seen as the "land of opportunity" due to its wealth and culture portrayed globally through media. Millions immigrate to the US each year, both legally and illegally, to pursue greater economic opportunities and the "American Dream." Reasons for immigration include push factors from their home countries and pull factors attracting them to the US, such as job availability, higher wages, and freedom. Key areas driving immigration are the belief in success through hard work, capitalism fueling wealth, and American democratic values.

Modern Civil Rights 40's, 50's, 60's, and 70's
If I could have lunch with one civil rights leader, I would choose to meet Martin Luther King Jr. He was such an inspirational leader of the non-violent civil rights movement. I would have loved to ask him about his strategies for enacting change through peaceful protest. I'm fascinated by his ability to deliver speeches that moved and motivated so many people to join the fight for racial equality. I think lunch with Dr. King would have provided a unique opportunity to learn more about his vision for an integrated society with equal rights and opportunities for all. Meeting him would have been a chance to better understand how one person can make such a profound impact through courageous leadership and commitment to justice.

1) The Cuban Missile Crisis arose in 1962 when the US discovered that the Soviet Union had secretly placed nuclear missiles in Cuba, just 90 miles from US shores.
2) President Kennedy was faced with difficult choices about how to respond, including doing nothing, air strikes on Cuba, invasion of Cuba, or imposing a naval blockade on Cuba.
3) Kennedy chose to impose a blockade, hoping to resolve the crisis diplomatically without escalating to war. The document walks through the outcomes of different response options before concluding the blockade was the right choice.
Day 4 Red Scare Cold War
There was a fear of communism infiltrating the US government during the 1950s Red Scare era. Senator Joseph McCarthy exploited this fear by claiming to have a list of 205 communists working for the state department, though he provided no evidence. His hearings devolved into a witch hunt targeting many on false accusations. McCarthy's tactics were eventually condemned when he began threatening the Army, leading to a Senate vote to censure him in 1954.
Communist take power in china
1) In the early 20th century, China was in turmoil following the fall of the last emperor. Sun Yat-sen led the nationalist Kuomintang party and established a government in southern China.
2) In the 1920s-1930s, the Kuomintang and Chinese Communist Party formed an alliance against their common enemies, but later had a falling out and fought in a civil war.
3) By 1949, Mao Zedong had led the Communist Party to victory over the nationalists. Mao established the People's Republic of China, while the nationalists retreated to Taiwan. China was then divided between communist mainland China and nationalist Taiwan.

AHMIR’S POST:
African- Americans from the rural South did not migrate to the north voluntarily, but were pushed out of the south by certain factors. Also, choosing to move to the North was not a coincidence, but were pulled there by some factors as well.
The massive migration that occurred between 1916 to 1970 was primarily caused by the push factor such as convict leasing, segregation, disenfranchisement, and the widespread increase in racist ideologies that were making the lives of African- Americans unbearable. They were forced to move in large troops when Jim Crow introduced laws that kept the African Americans in an inferior position which denied them political rights even to air out their grievances. So they chose to move to the North, where racial segregation was not mandated even though racism was rampant.
Another factor that pushed the African-Americans out to the North was the lack of employment opportunities in the South. The poor economic conditions in the South made survival very difficult. The situation was made worse by the continuous failing of crops, limitation of sharing cropping on the farms, limited land for farming, and crop damage from the boll weevil. Also, the Jim Crow laws' social and racial oppression made possible meant that they could not even market their produce freely. The lynching of African Americans did also push them out in large numbers.
The main pull factor for the great migration of African Americans to the North was encouraging reports of reasonable wages and better living conditions in the North. These reports came from African soldiers who had returned from the war and were also reported in the African American newspapers. They were pulled by the economic opportunities found in the industrial cities, which mean ...
A Book Review of “Suburban Warriors: The Origins of the New American Right”
As part of an American History course which was instructed by Professor Brandon Gauthier of Fordham University; Fordham School of Professional and Continuing Studies. The essay was a book review of "Suburban Warriors: The Origins of the New American Right" which was written by Lisa McGirr. The essay explains more information about Right-Wing politics, Anti-Semitic ideas, and the conservative movements of the 1950s and 60s. Though, on the contrary, the research paper demonstrates how the politics can research for minority groups and lower social classes of America for the Right-Wing Conservatives.
The Chicano Civil Rights Movement
The Chicano Civil Rights Movement emerged in the 1960s in response to the discrimination faced by Mexican Americans. It aimed to achieve equal rights and treatment for the Mexican American community through organized protests and legal battles. Some of its key goals included restoring land grants, increasing farmworkers' rights, improving education, and gaining equal voting and political rights. The movement protested the disproportionate number of Mexican American casualties in the Vietnam War and fought discrimination in employment, education, and other areas. It accomplished several important legal victories and helped develop pride and consciousness in Mexican American identity and culture.
Ch21 AmGov Civil Rights
This document discusses the history of discrimination and civil rights struggles in the United States. It describes how various minority groups, including African Americans, Native Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, and women, have faced discrimination through policies like segregation, Jim Crow laws, and unequal treatment. It explains how the Supreme Court has interpreted the Equal Protection Clause over time, initially allowing racial segregation but later ruling it unconstitutional in cases like Brown v. Board of Education. Desegregation of public schools proceeded slowly, and de facto segregation remains an issue today. The document also outlines how the interpretation of gender-based discrimination has evolved.
Chicano movement
The Chicano Movement started in the 1960s as Mexican Americans sought equal treatment and fair pay. People protested peacefully through marches and strikes to demand better working conditions, such as safer environments and workers' rights. Students faced discrimination in schools with high dropout rates and punishments for speaking Spanish. They organized walkouts to protest and demand bilingual classes, Hispanic teachers, and Mexican American history in the curriculum. The movement aimed to empower the Latino community through education, workers' rights, and an end to discrimination.
Chapter 30 Period 5
The document discusses several social movements that challenged authority in the 1960s, including the New Left, counterculture, civil rights movements, and women's liberation movement. The New Left embraced causes like civil rights and opposed the Vietnam War through protests. The counterculture rejected mainstream values and embraced rock music and drug use. Other groups like the American Indian Movement and United Farm Workers fought for indigenous and Hispanic rights. The women's and gay rights movements also made progress for social acceptance and legal protections during this time period.

consider the ending of poverty a worthwhile goal. Euro-Americans increasingly wanted the poor to just go
away. According to U.S. Senator Barry Goldwater, "The fact is that most people who have no skill have no edu-
cation for the same reason-low intelligence or low ambition:'48
Bureaucratic conflict also weakened the War on Poverty. The Department of Labor refused to cooperate
with OEO; social workers perceived it as a threat to the welfare bureaucracy and their hegemony among the
poor. Local politicians claimed that OEO programs "fostered class struggle." Meanwhile, as government officials
and others quickly gained control of the programs, the participation of the poor declined. By 1966, President
Johnson began dismantling the OEO, with Head Start going to Health, Education, and Welfare, and the Job
Corps, to the Department of Labor. He then substituted the "Model Cities" program for OEO. Johnson, faced
with opposition within his own party over the war in Vietnam, announced that he would not seek reelection.
The assassination of Robert Kennedy during the California primary also dealt a blow to Mexican American
hope. The election of Richard Nixon in 1968 put the proverbial final nail in the coffin.
Impart of the War on Poverty
The impact of the War on Poverty on Chicanos was huge. A study of 60 OEO advisory boards in East Los
Angeles-Boyle Heights-South Lincoln Heights, for instance-showed that 1,520 individuals, 71 percent of
whom lived in these communities, served on the boards; two-thirds were women. Many Chic;ano activists of
the 1960s developed a sense of political consciousness as a result of poverty programs, which advertised the
demands and grievances of the poor and created an ideology that legitimized protest. Many minorities came to
learn that they had the right to work in government and to petition it. Legal aid programs and Head Start, a
public preschool system, also proved invaluable to the poor. The number of poor fell dramatically between
1965 and 1970 as Social Security, health, and welfare payments more than doubled. When the federal govern-
ment cut the last of the War on Poverty programs in the 1980s, poverty escalated.49
MAGNETIZATION OF THE BORDER <t--VJ -\\ e....'(' -e_
A population boom in Mexico tossed millions into Mexico's labor pool, thus intensifying the push factors. In
1950, Mexico had a population of 25.8 million; it jumped to 34.9 million 10 years later and was rushing toward
50 million by the end of the 1960s. Driving this increase was the fertility rate of Mexican women, which
increased from an average of 1.75 percent in 1922-1939 to 2.25 percent in 1939-1946 and to 6.9 percent in
the late 1950s. Mexico had the fastest-growing gross national product (GNP) in Latin America, but it did not
offset this increase in population.
The termination of the bracero (guest worker) program in 1964 worsened Mexico's econ.

Labor unions
A pro to labor unions is increased wages as unions can negotiate higher pay. However, a con is that unions could cause workers to lose their jobs if businesses look elsewhere for workers or replace them in response to union demands. Workers have to decide if the potential for higher pay through a union is worth the risk of possibly losing their job.
Robber barons or captains of industry 2011
The document discusses debates around the business practices of prominent late 19th century American industrialists and financiers known as "robber barons". It presents arguments on both sides, discussing whether these businessmen positively contributed to American economic growth through job creation and philanthropy, or exploited workers and natural resources to amass personal fortunes through monopolies and lack of regulation. The complexities in evaluating their actions and impacts are noted.
immigration and urbanization
The document discusses the mass immigration to U.S. cities in the late 19th century following the Civil War. Millions of European and Asian immigrants arrived seeking opportunity but faced challenges assimilating. They lived in overcrowded tenement neighborhoods and faced discrimination, while their cheap labor fueled industrialization and urbanization. Political machines exploited new immigrants by providing services in exchange for votes.
A tale of two islands 2011b
This document discusses immigration trends in the United States between 1860-1900. It notes that the U.S. population grew significantly in this period, driven both by a high birth rate among existing residents as well as large numbers of immigrants, especially from Europe. The document also discusses some of the challenges faced by immigrants, including living in crowded cities and having to pass medical inspections at processing centers like Ellis Island.
Progressive movement 2011.pptx
The passage discusses the Progressive Era in the United States from the late 19th to early 20th century. It covers several key aspects of the period including rapid industrialization, urbanization, and corruption which led citizens to demand reforms. Progressives pushed for initiatives, referendums, and recalls to give political power back to the people and reduce corruption. They focused on applying moral principles to improve industrial society and reform issues like child labor, work hours, and workplace regulations.
Urbanization & political machine 2011
The document discusses several topics related to immigration and urbanization in the late 19th century United States, including the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 that banned Chinese immigration, concerns around job competition from immigrants, the growth of cities and problems with infrastructure, housing, and public health, as well as political machines that controlled cities through patronage and corruption. Settlement houses provided services to new immigrants in urban areas. The document also briefly mentions women's suffrage movements and civil rights leaders Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. Du Bois who disagreed on strategies for racial equality.
Facebook sample
The document profiles John F. Kennedy and includes information about his plans to sign the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, sending the National Guard to Alabama to enforce desegregation, avoiding war with the Soviets during the Cuban Missile Crisis, hopes to put a man on the moon, and wishing the Bay of Pigs invasion had gone better.

Day 6 2.2 and 2.3 manifest destiny 2011
- The document discusses the forced removal of Native American tribes from their eastern lands in the 1830s under the Indian Removal Act signed by President Andrew Jackson. Specifically, it describes the forced removal of the Cherokee tribe along the Trail of Tears.
- The Cherokee were forced to relocate west of the Mississippi River, which resulted in the deaths of thousands during the forced march due to hunger, disease and exhaustion. The Cherokee called this journey the "Trail of Tears" due to its devastating effects.
- The document also discusses later attempts by the U.S. government to assimilate Native Americans through the 1887 Dawes Act, which broke up reservations and allotted land to individuals. However
Nioxon to ford 2011
The document discusses Richard Nixon's presidency and the Watergate scandal that led to his resignation. It describes how Nixon pursued a "Southern Strategy" and policy of "New Federalism" to decentralize power. However, his administration was overwhelmed by the Watergate break-in scandal after it was revealed that Nixon had tried to cover it up. Facing impeachment, Nixon resigned in 1974 and was replaced by Vice President Gerald Ford, who pardoned Nixon in an attempt to move past the scandal but saw his approval ratings drop as a result.
Ford to Carter
- Gas prices were reaching new highs in the 1970s due to OPEC raising oil prices and implementing production cuts, leading to gas rationing in some states. This contributed to economic "stagflation", where inflation and unemployment both increased.
- President Carter focused on the energy crisis and conservation but was unsuccessful. He initiated the Camp David Accords between Israel and Egypt but most Arab nations opposed it. Iranian revolutionaries took 52 American hostages in 1979 which Carter failed to gain the release of.
Papa bush to Obama presidents
The document summarizes major events during the presidencies of George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama. It discusses Bush Sr.'s broken campaign promise of "no new taxes" and involvement in the Gulf War. It outlines Clinton's economic successes and impeachment. For George W. Bush, it mentions the 9/11 attacks, War on Terror, and wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Finally, it notes Barack Obama's election as the first black president and passage of healthcare reform.
guide to the 1980s
The 1980s saw an emphasis on materialism and making money in the US as the economy recovered from the 1970s crisis. Drug abuse, especially of cocaine and crack cocaine, increased in urban areas. The AIDS epidemic emerged and spread rapidly through unprotected sex and needle sharing, though the Reagan administration was slow to address the crisis. Major celebrity deaths included John Lennon and Pope John Paul II, who survived an assassination attempt. The space shuttle Challenger exploded after launch in 1986.
Conservativism and reagan
The document provides background information on the rise of conservatism in the United States during the late 1970s and 1980s. It discusses how Ronald Reagan appealed to conservative voters who were frustrated with the economy and foreign policy. Reagan was elected president in 1980 on a platform of tax cuts, increased military spending, and limited government. As president, Reagan implemented economic and foreign policies aimed at reducing the size and role of government.
Terrorism 2010
Terrorism poses a major threat to global security today. Terrorists often target civilians to instill fear and further political, religious, or ideological goals. While terrorism has been used as a tactic for over 200 years, the number of worldwide attacks and their violence has increased in recent decades, with few regions spared. Notable terrorist attacks of the early 2000s include the 2004 Madrid train bombings, the 2005 London bombings, and the 2008 Mumbai attacks.
Afghanistan
The document provides background information on Afghanistan, including its terrain, ethnic groups, religion, important issues, and history of foreign involvement. It discusses Afghanistan's struggle for independence from Britain in the late 1800s. It also covers the Soviet invasion in the 1970s, the rise of the Taliban in the 1990s, and US intervention beginning in 2001 after the 9/11 attacks. The current situation involves efforts to rebuild the country while preventing the Taliban from regaining power and controlling the illegal drug trade.
Vietnam johnson takes over
The document discusses several aspects of the Vietnam War from the US perspective, including:
1) How the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution gave President Lyndon Johnson authority to escalate US involvement without a formal declaration of war.
2) The increasing US troop levels from 16,000 in 1963 to 500,000 by 1968.
3) The tactics and challenges of fighting in the Vietnamese jungle against an enemy that used guerilla warfare and hid among the civilian population.
4) The US strategy of using air power and defoliants like Agent Orange to destroy jungle cover and force the Viet Cong into open battles, but this failed to change the course of the war.
China and the rise of communism
The document summarizes the rise of communism in China from 1911 to the present. It describes how nationalist and communist forces struggled for control of China in the early 20th century. Mao Zedong established communist rule in 1949, but his radical policies like the Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution resulted in tens of millions of deaths and economic stagnation. After Mao's death in 1976, China adopted market-oriented reforms under Deng Xiaoping that have led to rapid economic growth, but the communist government still restricts political and religious freedom.
Kennedy and cuban missile crisis 2011
Two things changed the 1960 election in Kennedy's favor: the first televised debates, where Kennedy appeared more confident and youthful compared to Nixon, and Catholics swung heavily for Kennedy, the first Catholic president. Nixon said that Kennedy lacked experience. The Cuban Missile Crisis was the most dramatic crisis Kennedy faced as president, brought about when U.S. planes discovered Soviet nuclear missiles in Cuba that could reach major U.S. cities within minutes. After 13 tense days, Khrushchev agreed to remove the missiles in exchange for Kennedy agreeing privately not to invade Cuba and publicly to remove obsolete U.S. missiles from Turkey.
Day 4 red scare.cold war
The document discusses the Red Scare period of the 1950s in the United States. It describes how fears of communist subversion and infiltration led to investigations by the House Un-American Activities Committee. Notable examples included investigations into the film industry that blacklisted the "Hollywood Ten" and Senator Joseph McCarthy's accusations of communists in the government without clear evidence. The period saw intensified fears of communism and efforts to root out perceived communist threats that some argue went too far.
Ike and bomb scare notes
The document discusses Americans' fears of nuclear attack and fallout during the Cold War era of the 1950s. It describes the policies of massive retaliation and civil defense drills like duck and cover that were responses to these nuclear fears. Families built backyard fallout shelters stocked with supplies, though experts realized that nuclear fallout would likely kill many more than the initial blast. The document poses a hypothetical scenario where readers must decide which 4 of 7 people could stay in a bomb shelter and survive a nuclear attack.
