The civil right movement
This document summarizes the post-Civil War amendments that granted rights to African Americans. It notes that almost 4 million blacks were enslaved in the South prior to the war. Following the war, the 13th Amendment abolished slavery, the 14th Amendment granted citizenship to African Americans, and the 15th Amendment gave African American males the right to vote. The document places these amendments in their historical context from 1863 to 1877 as a significant period in the development of civil rights in America after the Civil War.
The death of slavery
After the end of slavery during the Civil War, white southerners feared the collapse of the economy and loss of racial hierarchy. This led to the development of Black Codes that curtailed the freedoms of African Americans and forced them into labor contracts. Federal legislation like the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments along with the Civil Rights Act of 1866 and the Freedmen's Bureau attempted to protect the rights of freed slaves and provide assistance. However, southern states later instituted racial segregation and Jim Crow laws to maintain the racial caste system and white supremacy.
Anitent Athens and U.S govenerment
In ancient Athens, only free adult men who owned land and were born in Athens had the right to vote, making up only about 20% of the population. These citizens were required to participate in voting. 500 names were drawn each year to serve as lawmakers. In contrast, the United States initially only allowed 6% of the population to vote, but voting rights have expanded over time to allow all citizens 18 years and older to vote, regardless of land ownership, birthplace, race, or gender. Both societies practiced some form of democracy and required citizens to participate in voting.
Hw#17 voting rights
Voting rights in the US have expanded over time. Originally only white male landowners could vote. African Americans gained the right to vote with the 15th Amendment in 1870, but still faced barriers like literacy tests and poll taxes. The 24th Amendment banned poll taxes in 1964. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 reinforced protections. Women gained the right to vote in 1920 via the 19th Amendment. American Indians became citizens in 1924. The District of Columbia gained voting rights in 1961 under the 23rd Amendment. The 26th Amendment lowered the voting age to 18 in 1971.
Intro To Civil Rights 2007
The document summarizes key events in the history of civil rights in the United States, including the founding documents establishing equality, the introduction and eventual abolition of slavery, and amendments to the Constitution aimed at protecting rights of African Americans. However, these amendments were not fully effective, as the Jim Crow system arose and segregation was deemed constitutional until the civil rights movement of the 1950s-60s challenged this oppression. The document raises questions about the ongoing responsibilities of government and citizens to secure equal rights and freedom for all.
Reconstruction 1
The document provides an overview of Reconstruction after the American Civil War, including:
1. Lincoln's assassination affected the course of Reconstruction as his more lenient 10% Plan was not implemented.
2. President Johnson took a largely similar approach to Lincoln's but clashed with Radical Republicans in Congress who demanded more protections for freed slaves.
3. The Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments were passed to abolish slavery, define citizenship, and protect voting rights of African American men. However, Reconstruction goals were undermined by segregationist policies and laws in the South.
Sparta And Athens
Sparta was a militaristic city-state that valued strength, discipline and service above all else. Boys were trained from a young age for military life and personal expression was discouraged. Girls also received education focused on athletics and producing strong offspring. Sparta had a dual king system of government overseen by ephors and an assembly. Its social structure divided people into Spartans, outsiders and helot slaves.
Reconstruction and rights 2011
The document discusses Abraham Lincoln's views on slavery and saving the Union, the establishment of the Freedmen's Bureau after the Civil War to aid refugees, and the passage of amendments and laws aimed at protecting the rights of former slaves. However, southern states later imposed Jim Crow laws and policies like literacy tests and poll taxes to deny African Americans the right to vote and maintain racial segregation.

Reconstruction and changes in the united states
The document summarizes Reconstruction and changes in the United States after the Civil War. The North had economic problems with unemployed soldiers returning home while the South was financially and physically destroyed by the war. Over 4 million freed slaves had little opportunity for work or support. Congress took steps toward Reconstruction, including Lincoln's 10% plan and establishing the Freedmen's Bureau to help former slaves. However, the South passed "Black Codes" limiting black rights. Radical Republicans gained control and passed the 14th Amendment guaranteeing rights to all citizens. Vigilante groups like the KKK terrorized blacks and Reconstruction efforts faced challenges that led to a cycle of poverty and segregation in the South.
Ch 12
Reconstruction sought to answer two questions - what would replace slavery and what would freedom mean for ex-slaves. There were obstacles to real freedom for African Americans like Black Codes and the Ku Klux Klan. Two types of Reconstruction occurred - Presidential Reconstruction under Johnson focused on quick reunification while Congressional Reconstruction under Radical Republicans established rights for freedmen and new governments in the South.

Sparta
The document summarizes life in Sparta, one of the great city-states of ancient Greece. The Spartans focused on military skills and conquest of neighboring lands. They came to greatly outnumber Spartan citizens and were kept subjugated. Spartan culture emphasized military strength, with boys sent to military camps at a young age. The Spartan system aimed to create a powerful military without outside influences by discouraging things like art and foreign visitors.
Women suffrage
The women's suffrage movement began in 1848 to fight for women's right to vote in the US. Key leaders included Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Mott, and Sojourner Truth. They worked for over 70 years to change discriminatory laws and convince states to grant women the right to vote. Tennessee became the 36th state to approve the 19th amendment in 1920, ensuring women nationwide had equal voting rights.
Chapter 17 - Reconstruction
After the Civil War, Reconstruction aimed to reunite the nation and define the rights of freed slaves. However, the plans of Lincoln, Congress, and Andrew Johnson differed on how to reintegrate the Southern states and whether and how to grant African Americans citizenship and suffrage. The assassination of Lincoln and rise of Radical Republican control led to strengthened federal authority and protection of African American civil rights through amendments and legislation. However, the end of Reconstruction saw a decline in Republican support and rise of Democratic "Redeemers" in the South, restricting African American rights and political power through violent intimidation, segregation laws, and electoral barriers.

Reconstruction presentation 2015
Reconstruction aimed to rebuild the South after the Civil War and guarantee rights for freed slaves, but faced opposition. Radical Republicans sought to punish the South and protect freedmen, while Southerners and Moderate Republicans wanted reconciliation. The Reconstruction Amendments granted citizenship and voting rights to freedmen, but Southern states undermined these with Black Codes and later Jim Crow laws. Reconstruction ended in 1877 through a compromise that withdrew federal troops from the South in exchange for certifying the presidential election, ending Republican rule and protections for freedmen.

African-American History ~ Antebellum Free Blacks
Free black communities formed in the post-Revolutionary period despite facing significant discrimination and lack of rights. They worked to improve their circumstances through mutual aid societies, self-improvement associations, and by participating in the abolitionist movement. While the rhetoric of the American Revolution inspired hopes for freedom and equality, in reality free black people north and south faced segregation, disenfranchisement, discrimination, and other hardships like limited civil and political rights.
Reconstruction
Reconstruction (1865-1877) aimed to rebuild the South after the Civil War and restore Southern states to the Union. It involved several plans and acts by Lincoln, Johnson, and Congress to repair infrastructure, establish the Freedmen's Bureau to aid former slaves, and define citizenship and voting rights through amendments to the Constitution. However, the withdrawal of federal troops from the South in 1877 after the Compromise effectively ended Congressional Reconstruction and left black southerners vulnerable to violence and intimidation through organizations like the Ku Klux Klan and oppressive policies like black codes and sharecropping.
Women's Suffrage
The American Woman Suffrage Movement spanned from 1848 to 1920 and sought to expand voting rights to women. It began at the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848 where women and men demanded equality and the right for women to vote. Over the following decades, suffragists advocated state-by-state for women's suffrage and pushed for a constitutional amendment, facing opposition from those who felt women were too emotional or fragile. By the early 1900s, more women were joining the cause. After suffragists engaged in more militant tactics, the 19th Amendment was passed in 1920, guaranteeing all American citizens the right to vote regardless of sex.

Women's Suffrage Movement
The American women's suffrage movement spanned from 1848 to 1920, beginning at the Seneca Falls Convention where the Declaration of Sentiments demanded equal rights for women, including the right to vote. While the 15th Amendment granted black men the vote in 1870, it disappointed many suffragists. Divisions emerged over strategies, but the movement reunited and pursued passing a constitutional amendment. Under leaders like Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Alice Paul, and Carrie Chapman Catt, suffragists lobbied and protested for decades. Their efforts succeeded with Tennessee's ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920, giving women nationwide the right to vote.

The American women's suffrage movement spanned from 1848 to 1920. It began at the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848 where women's rights activists drafted the Declaration of Sentiments demanding equal rights for women, including the right to vote. Over the following decades, suffragists fought for suffrage at the state level and through proposed constitutional amendments, facing opposition from those who felt women should not participate in politics. Their efforts intensified during World War 1 and succeeded with the ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920, giving women the right to vote across the United States.

The document compares the governments of ancient Athens and the United States. It outlines some key aspects of each: in Athens, the startegoi was elected as leader and Pericles led for 30 years, citizens had more rights than other cities, and slaves had some rights but could be owned. In the US, the House of Representatives has 435 members, the Senate confirms appointments and has 100 senators per state chosen originally by state legislatures. Both Athens and the US have multiple legislative bodies and are democracies where citizens can vote, though Athens limited citizenship and voting rights.

The document compares and contrasts the governments of ancient Athens and the United States. In ancient Athens, the strategoi was elected as leader for 30 years at a time, most notably Pericles. Athens had a democratic system where citizens had more rights than other cities, though only citizen's children could be citizens. Slaves had varying conditions and could potentially buy their freedom. The United States government has two chambers - the House of Representatives with 435 members and the Senate with 100 members, two per state. Both Athens and the US have multiple legislative bodies and are democracies where citizens can vote, though ancient Athens limited citizenship and voting rights.
Constitution Writing in Athens and the U.S.A
The document discusses constitutions in Ancient Greece and Athens. It explains that Athens had the first known constitution, which established democracy and granted political rights to lower social classes. The Athenian constitution placed citizens into three social classes and required military service of all citizens. While not a written document, it established the basic rules and government of Athens. The US Constitution was influenced by the Athenian constitution in establishing democracy.
Athen and U.S. presentation
The document discusses voting rights and civic participation in Ancient Athens and the United States. In Ancient Athens, only male landowners were allowed to vote, while women, slaves, and children could not. The government consisted of an assembly of at least 6,000 citizens, a council of 500 citizens selected by lot, and courts ranging from 201-501 citizens. In the United States, anyone over 18 can vote as long as they are a citizen. Key differences are who was allowed to vote and how leaders were selected - in Athens leaders were selected by lot or assemblies, while the US holds elections. Both societies discussed laws before final decisions.

The document discusses constitutions in Ancient Greece and Athens. It explains that the Athens constitution was one of the first forms of government that was not a monarchy, and established democracy. The Athens constitution granted political rights to lower social classes and wanted all citizens to be equal under the law. It also established three social classes and outlined military service duties for citizens. While not a single written document, the Athens constitution was influential in establishing some of the first principles of democratic government.
What is Freedom? Reconstruction Chapter 15
The document summarizes key events and terms related to the emancipation of slaves and Reconstruction in the United States after the Civil War. It discusses freed slaves relishing their newfound freedom from regulations, the strengthening of black churches and schools, the challenges faced by former slave owners, and the narrow view of black freedom held by most planters. Key terms and events summarized include the Emancipation Proclamation, the Freedmen's Bureau, Andrew Johnson, sharecropping, the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments, and the Ku Klux Klan. Radical Republicans pushed for stronger federal protections of black civil rights during Reconstruction.
Athenian presentation
Ancient Athens is considered the beginning of democracy for several reasons. Male citizens were divided into tribes and each tribe selected 50 representatives to serve in the assembly, extending representation and voting rights. An assembly of at least 6,000 male citizens was held where laws were passed. Additionally, 500 citizens were selected by lot to serve on the council for a year. This established one of the first direct democracies in Athens.
Early inspirations for american government
Early American government was inspired by ancient Greek democracy, the Roman Republic, and English constitutionalism. Athenian democracy lasted over 100 years and involved all free adult males voting directly on laws. However, it had flaws like the wealthy swaying public opinion. The Roman Republic used a representative system with elected senators and assemblies making laws. It failed when military leaders gained too much power. England developed constitutionalism after its civil war, limiting royal power and establishing parliament's right to tax and petition the king. These systems influenced America's founding fathers.
The End of Reconstruction and the Rise of Jim Crow Laws
The document summarizes the end of Reconstruction and the rise of Jim Crow laws in the Southern United States after the Civil War. It explains that after Reconstruction ended in 1877, without federal protection, African Americans lost many rights and freedoms. Southern states then began passing Jim Crow laws that legalized racial segregation and discrimination, denying African Americans equal access to public spaces, education, jobs, voting rights, and more. This led to the widespread oppression and disenfranchisement of African Americans under an entrenched system of racial segregation in the South for the next 70+ years.
6.5 rise of jim crow and segregation
This document summarizes the rise of racial segregation and discrimination against African Americans in the post-Civil War South, known as the Jim Crow era. It describes how after Reconstruction ended in 1877 and federal troops withdrew, racist white southerners imposed strict segregation laws and customs. This included poll taxes, literacy tests, and the "separate but equal" doctrine established by the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson Supreme Court decision, which legalized segregation across the South. The document also profiles early African American leaders who opposed these discriminatory policies, such as Ida B. Wells fighting against lynching, and Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. Du Bois debating different approaches to civil rights.
