The Zoot Suit Riots began in the 1930s in Los Angeles as racial tensions rose between white Americans and Mexicans/Mexican-Americans due to fears of job loss during the Great Depression. Over 12,000 Mexicans were deported from LA at this time. In the 1940s, young Latinos created their own subculture with distinctive music, language, and fashion including zoot suits, which white Americans saw as unpatriotic. Media coverage inflamed tensions, and the wrongful conviction of nine "Pachucos" for murder sparked the 1943 Zoot Suit Riots where white military members attacked Latinos in the streets of LA.

The document provides a timeline and overview of the history of slavery in America from 1619 through the end of the Civil War in 1865. It discusses how slavery began as a way to address the labor needs of the colonies, and how the slave trade expanded greatly. The Atlantic slave trade resulted in millions of Africans being forcibly transported to America, where they were treated as property and faced cruel conditions. Resistance to slavery grew over time through escapes on the Underground Railroad and abolitionist literature. After the Civil War, African Americans continued facing exclusion through policies like Plessy v Ferguson and racism during the Great Migration and Harlem Renaissance period.
Ku Klux Klan
The Ku Klux Klan was originally formed in 1865 by former Confederate soldiers opposed to Reconstruction. They targeted freed black people, Republicans, and Northerners seeking to make money in the South. The KKK used violence, threats, and intimidation. The group was declared a terrorist organization and disbanded in 1871. A second KKK emerged in 1915 inspired by the film Birth of a Nation and fueled by anti-immigrant and anti-Catholic sentiment. It grew particularly in cities of the Midwest and West Coast promoting prohibition and nativism.
Black power
The Black Power Movement grew out of the Civil Rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s, sparked by Stokely Carmichael's popularization of the term in 1966. While sharing similar goals of racial equality, the Black Power Movement advocated a more militant approach and focused on instilling racial pride and self-determination among Black Americans. The movement saw the establishment of Black studies programs, increased interest in African heritage, and the growth of the Black Arts movement, though it began to decline by the late 1970s.

Slavery and abolition movement in USA
Slavery began in America in 1619 and spread throughout the colonies, where African slaves helped build the nation's economic foundations. By the 18th century, millions of slaves had been imported from Africa. The invention of the cotton gin in 1793 cemented the importance of slavery to the Southern economy. Most slaves lived on plantations and were subject to oppressive laws that prohibited education and tightly controlled their lives. The abolitionist movement gained strength in the 1830s-1860s, led by activists like Frederick Douglass and Harriet Beecher Stowe. The American Civil War erupted over slavery and states' rights, ultimately leading to emancipation through Lincoln's 1863 proclamation and the 13th Amendment in 1865. However
1960s Counterculture Movement
The 1960s counterculture movement known as hippies valued freedom, nature, peace, and spirituality. They sought alternative ways of living, often living communally without possessions in parks and forests. Hippies distanced themselves from mainstream culture through colorful, flowing clothing and long hair. San Francisco became the birthplace of the movement in the Haight-Ashbury district, where psychedelic rock concerts and "be-ins" were held. Woodstock in 1969 drew over 250,000 hippies and became a profound religious experience for many through shared resources and illegal drug use.

APUSH Lecture Ch. 10
During the early to mid-1800s, the United States experienced rapid economic, technological, and population growth that transformed it into a market economy. Key developments included the expansion of commercial farming in the Midwest, the transportation revolution of canals and railroads, the rise of manufacturing in the North, and large-scale immigration. However, this period also saw social tensions emerge between native-born Americans and Catholic immigrants, as well as economic divisions growing between the industrial North and agricultural South. Rapid advances in transportation and communication further integrated the national economy but also exacerbated regional differences leading up to the Civil War.
Manifest Destiny
The document discusses the various motivations and factors that drove United States expansion westward in the 19th century. Key reasons included the spread of American beliefs and civilization through missionary work; the need for access to ports on the Pacific Ocean and Gulf of Mexico for trade; the beginnings of the Industrial Revolution creating demand for resources and farmland; and a belief in "Manifest Destiny" that America was destined to expand across the continent. Critics argued that this expansion displaced Native Americans and was often justified through racist ideologies.
The roaring twenties in America
The Roaring Twenties began after World War I as society embraced modernity and broke from tradition. New technologies like automobiles, movies, and radio spread popular culture. The US economy boomed due to government policies, consumerism, and mass production. Women gained more freedom through suffrage and the flapper lifestyle, though faced pressure to marry. Jazz music and dance defined nightlife in the era.
African american history
African Americans were originally brought to the United States as slaves, arriving from Africa in 1619. Slavery ended in 1865 with the Civil War, but African Americans still faced discrimination under Jim Crow laws that enforced racial segregation until the 1950s-60s Civil Rights Movement. The movement used nonviolent protests and demonstrations led by figures like Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks to fight for equal rights and desegregation, gradually bringing about social and political change that continues today.
Jazz Age
The document discusses several aspects of social change in the United States during the 1920s, known as the "Jazz Age". It describes how flappers represented changing social norms by wearing shorter dresses and cutting their hair, challenging traditional values. It also discusses the mass migration of over 6 million people from rural to urban areas during this period, as well as the growth of suburbs and cities. Key cultural aspects like jazz music, movies, radio, and literature reflected and drove social change during the postwar period in America.

In the current essay we will analyze the case and identities though a social/political lens, describe a history of Latino ethnic labels in the US, and -Identify how this still relates to current socio-political issues affecting Latinos in the US, according to Suzanne Oboler (1995). “During June and July of 1942 the Los Angeles press began to build a “crime wave” among Mexican-American youth which was unsubstantiated by any official records. Stories of arrests were played up on the front pages. No mention was made of subsequent release for lack of any charge.”, according to Pagan, Eduardo O. (2000).
The Zoot Suit Riots were a series of riots in Los Angeles, USA in 1943. They inflamed during the Second World War between soldiers stationed in the city and Mexican-American youth gangs, led by so-called Pachucos, because of the Zoot Suits wore them, were known. On 3 June 1943, a group of soldiers complained that they had been assaulted during their shore leave from a pachuco gang. In response, gathered soldiers and went to downtown and to East LA, the center of the Mexican population. Upon their arrival they attacked all the men in Zoot suits, they found their way through these neighborhoods and destroyed many of you, the suits at bay in order to then burn them on the street. The police arrested the beat Americans of Mexican descent in several cases, for disturbing the peace, according to Ed Duran Ayres (1941).
Pachuco is the name of the stereotype that defined a young Mexican American (Chicano) that emerged in the mid 20’s who wore flashy clothes, which consisted of a suit with pants too loose, but tight in the waist and ankles, a long coat with wide lapels and broad shoulders, padded, called Zoot Suit, dressed in a hat decorated Italian style at times with a pen, wearing trousers with suspenders and adorned with long strings to one side, and was used with French-style shoes usually black and white bicolor. Some U.S. Hispanic gangs adopted the pachuco style, and most whites assumed that if someone dressed in that style was a member of that gang, according to Del Castillo, Richard Griswold “The Los Angeles “Zoot Suit Riots” revisited: Mexican and Latin American Perspectives” (2000). Several hundred Pachucos and nine soldiers were a result of the riots that took place during the following days incarcerated. Of the nine soldiers arrested eight dismissed without penalty – one of them had to pay a small fine. The Mexican-Americans fared worse, some died in custody since their injuries were not treated, others were convicted of crimes that could not be clearly demonstrated.

Lecture about identity
Well, I’ll let you keep thinking about this, meanwhile, let me tell you how I’ve come to understand it:
The last first: the term latino refers to people from LATIN AMERICA. not to french or italian or any other persons of "Latin" language extraction, regardless of what anyone says. The reason i mention this is because i personally have come across situations where people from one or another of these European countries try to claim they are "Latino" just to take advantage of resources dedicated to the Latino community. The term itself did not come into popular usage until the 1990's, but it originated from French Emperor Napoleon III's attempts to carve out a French empire in the Americas in the mid 19th century. Part of these efforts were the imposition of Austrian Archduke Maximillian as Emperor of Mexico which would lead to the War of the Reform in Mexico. It was Napoleon who coined the term “Latin America”to refer to the planned expansion of France into the western hemisphere. And slowly but surely, since then all of the countries south of Tijuana came to be referred to collectively as Latin America, and the peoples of these countries came to be referred to as Latinos. The word Latin in truth refers to a language, the language of the Romans, to be specific. Rome is in Italy. And all of the languages that evolved from Latin are known as the Romance languages, or Latin-based. That is why some Europeans try to take advantage of the term for their own purposes, even though it is erroneous.
The usage of the term Hispanic to refer to these same groups originated in the United States. Back in the 1960’s this term was defined as meaning “of or from Spain.” Part of it comes from the efforts by organizations like League of United Latin American Citizens as far back as the 1930’s. At that time, due to the intense anti-Mexican racism and discrimination that existed (and still exists, although not as blatant), many organizations and individuals resisted being called Mexican. They were either Spanish surnamed, Spanish Speaking, Latin American, or just plain Spanish. Keep in mind that at that time, the overwhelming majority of “Latinos” in the United States were Mexican, there were very few Central, or South Americans, or Caribbean Americans. Yet many chose to call themselves anything but Mexican, because here in the United States the term had been given a very negative connotation. Mexicans were considered dirty, criminals, racially and culturally inferior, and many other things. One way in which some of these organizations sought to fight the negative stereotypes was to encourage Mexicans in the United States to assimilate into US culture and society. Americanization classes, US History, Constitution, government, English, etc. The implication was that we were treated bad and discriminated against because we held on to things that served no purpose in the US, language, culture, etc. These things were seen as backward. Another pa ...
Prejudice and Pride
Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta co-founded the first farm workers union in the 1960s to advocate for the rights of Latino farm workers in California who faced poor working conditions and racial discrimination. They organized peaceful protests and strikes, gaining national attention with a 25-day march to Sacramento where 10,000 protesters demanded better treatment and wages. This marked a major victory for the farm workers movement and inspired other Latino civil rights leaders across the country to challenge inequality and discrimination in education and politics throughout the 1960s-1970s.
Between the World Wars
The document provides an overview of various sections in a chapter about nationalism and revolution around the world from 1910-1939. It discusses struggles for independence and self-rule in Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, India, and China in the aftermath of World War I.

15 1920s
The document provides an overview of life in the United States during the 1920s, known as the Jazz Age. It discusses the rise of consumerism driven by new technologies like cars and appliances. Mass culture expanded through radio, movies, and music like jazz. Social and cultural conflicts emerged, such as Prohibition, immigration restrictions, and the resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan. Politically, Republican presidents like Harding and Coolidge pursued business-friendly policies emphasizing tax cuts, spending reductions, and protectionist tariffs. The overall period was marked by economic prosperity and widespread social change.
Ch. 6 the depression, 1930-1940
1) During the Great Depression, over 1 million Mexican immigrants and Mexican Americans left the United States and returned to Mexico, either voluntarily or under pressure, in what became known as the "repatriation years" from 1930-1933.
2) As unemployment rose in cities like Los Angeles, public officials and groups put pressure on Mexican immigrants and Mexican Americans to leave the country, staging raids and spreading misinformation about alleged crimes committed by Mexicans.
3) Many who returned to Mexico found it difficult to readjust to life there, as opportunities were limited and standards of living declined significantly compared to what they experienced in the United States. Children especially struggled with the cultural and economic changes.
Lecture 4 ethnic and racial diversity
The document discusses the history of immigration and ethnic diversity in the United States over several centuries. It describes how the earliest settlers were from northern Europe, followed by large waves of immigration in the late 19th and early 20th centuries from central, eastern and southern Europe as well as Asia. It also discusses the ethnic and racial conflicts that arose from the discrimination faced by minority groups, particularly African Americans who were brought to the country as slaves.
The 1950s History Alive Ch. 41 and 42
The document discusses various ways in which American culture and society changed in the 1950s from the postwar era. Teenagers and young people began to rebel against social conformity through new forms of music like rock n' roll, fashion, television and movies. New youth subcultures emerged that challenged traditional social and cultural norms of the time through music, art, literature and style. Economic prosperity in the postwar period also led to mass suburbanization and a rise of consumerism.
Chicano History
Pachucos were Mexican American youths who developed a distinctive subculture in the 1930s-40s Southwest US, wearing zoot suits and their own dialect. Due to racism and marginalization, they were often associated with gangs. The zoot suit style originated in El Paso and spread to LA, where the Sleepy Lagoon murder case in 1942 led to the arrests and convictions of 12 Mexican American youth despite lack of evidence. The Sleepy Lagoon Defense Committee was formed to appeal the case. In 1943, riots erupted in LA as sailors attacked and stripped zoot suiters, with police failing to intervene. The riots targeted the Mexican American community.
