    How free were blacks in the north

    Blacks weren’t as free as people made them out to be, they still had restrictions. I am writing this to make it clear that blacks weren’t absolutely free in the north; they still had rules and weren’t treated equally. If you look at the years between 1800 and 1860 you will see how free they were freer when they were slaves. In this essay I will be addressing the different kind of rights, such as social freedom, the black church, Political and Judicial rights, and education and jobs.…

This article describes the struggles that were continually encountered in the endeavor to gain racial equality.

    Glory Field Essay

    Lizzy, a slave working on a plantation in 1864, showed courage when she makes decisions that could endanger her life. First, she showed courage when Lem, another slave, has been bound to the tree in the middle of a field as punishment by Mr. Joe Haynes, the plantation overseer. She supports Lem by bringing him water. This was courageous because Lizzy knew if she was caught, she would be tortured as Mr. Joe Haynes was doing to Lem. Unfortunately, she was caught and was whipped until Joshua, another slave, tackled Mr. Joe Haynes to save her. All of them knew that if they did not run away from the Glory Field, they would be killed. “‘Go on, girl, before you break everybody’s heart.’ a voice from the darkness said... ‘Don’t turn back’ (a lady said). Lizzy stopped, looked down, took a deep breath, and continued (to walk away from the plantation).” Once again, Lizzy has shown courage by leaving The Glory Field even though it was the only home she had ever known.…

    Why Did Robert Smalls Escape

    Robert Smalls, a brave slave who had escaped under the noses of the confederate soldiers, had strived to achieve equal rights for all races his whole life. Once he became a politician, he tried to encourage other black people to vote with him, but white people were strongly against this. Robert Smalls had masterminded an escape, he had become a pilot in the Union’s navy, and was one of the first black people to become a politician in South Carolina. But what he wanted most was equal rights, and though he had to work against the angry white citizens, he never gave up. After helping resolve the conflict of slavery, Robert Smalls tried to prove to the white citizens that black citizens were equal by making speeches and campaigns, but the whites…

    Significance And Background Of The Dred Scott Case

    This article talks about the significance and background of the Dred Scott case. In fact this actually hurt the cause of anti-slavery because now, slavery could spread into the free states. Now, the free states laws that used to create this safe haven for the fugitive slaves, now no longer have any power because the Constitution, debatably the strongest document the United States has, contradicts any law protecting slaves. This is because the United States Constitution protects all property of the individual, and slaves to the southern people in the 1850’s thought of slaves as property.…

    5 Main Events Leading Up To The Civil War

    In 1857, Dred Scott lost his case proving that he should be free because he had been held as a slave while living in a free state. The Court ruled that his petition couldn’t be seen because he did not own property. But it went further, to state that even though he had been taken by his 'owner' into a free state, he was still a slave because slaves were to be considered property of their owners. This decision furthered the cause of abolitionists as they increased their efforts to fight against slavery.…

    Brown vs. Board of Education: Its Impact on Education and Subsequent Civil Rights Laws

    Before the 1950’s the City of Stone Mountain, DeKalb County, Georgia was known for its Klu Klux Klan rallies; its all white, pristine middle-class neighborhoods; and its superb schools. The unrelenting Civil Rights Movement entered into the United States during the 1950’s and 1960’s, leading to the U.S. Supreme Court's opinion in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, 347 U.S. 483, 74 S.Ct. 686, 98 L.Ed. 873 (1954). Although it has been argued that Brown failed to institute actual societal change, it still is considered to be a landmark decision from a legal perspective. Today’s public schools in DeKalb County’s Stone Mountain area are integrated with scores of minority faces of African Americans and Hispanics students, and a handful of white students. While the historic decision of Brown v. Board of Education repealed America’s “separate but equal doctrine”, segregation still exists in our public schools. This is a look at the history of the Brown v. Board of Education decision, how it impacts public schools today, and its effect on other Civil Rights laws.…

    The Influence Of Price By Nathaniel Price

    Nathaniel Price takes unrelenting control over every person in his household for the sake of his own personal advancement. This dominance stretched to the point where every voice was silenced. Throughout the novel “... Price claims supreme authority at home by tyrannizing his wife and daughters and appointing himself judge of their lives”(Salvatore 160). If Kingsolver did not express the voices of each woman as their own points of view, the women may have been hushed altogether. Price used these women as accomplices in his scheme to play God in a foreign country.…

    Lucretia Mott

    Lucretia Mott

    “All men are born equally free” (Salmon P. Chase). Nowadays, this simple statement is a part of our everyday thought. Back in the 1800’s, it was the complete opposite. African American’s were not treated equally; they were forced as slaves with no rights or opinions. Women also were not treated equally; they were deprived of rights that men had such as the ability to vote. Many people were outraged and fought out in a violent way, such as the civil war. Yet others had a different approach and fought out in a nonviolent way, otherwise known as civil disobedience. Lucretia Mott was a Quaker born in Nantucket, Massachusetts, who acted out in civil disobedience against the inequality of slaves and women. She set the foundation for the generations to come by raising awareness on anti-slavery and women’s rights. Her acts of civil disobedience eventually led to the women’s right to vote, and the freedom of slaves.…

    Assess the view that the Supreme Court

    In 1932, the Powell vs Alabama Case reversed the convictions of nine black men who were accused of raping two white women. All the defendants, apart from one, were sentenced to death after a series of one-day trials and they were given minimal access to their lawyers before their trials which meant their defenses weren’t precisely planned. The convictions were reversed because the Alabama Supreme Court ruled that they weren't given a fair trial, they were denied legal counsel, and the juries excluded members of their race. This was a significant ruling because the Supreme Court had recognised that African Americans were being treated unconstitutionally, and the little rights that they did have, had been violated. This evidence shows that the Supreme Court was important in assisting African Americans achieve their civil rights because the Courts had accepted that African…

    Letter from Frederick Douglass

    Letter from Frederick Douglass

    Freedom is a very loose term which is interpreted differently by people of diverse heritage and culture. In the 1800's and earlier it was believed by some that it was their "freedom" to be able to buy and sell fellow mankind on an open market, to be used as property for the betterment of the slaveholder's own fortune. In this essay I will look at a letter from Frederick Douglass, an ex-slave, to Thomas Auld, his former master. The correspondence was in the form of an open public letter to Auld on the tenth anniversary of Douglass' abolition. The letter could be considered an "autoethnographic text" which Mary Louise Pratt defines in her essay, Arts of the Contact Zone, "a text in which people undertake to describe themselves in ways that engage with representations others have made of them" (519). I will analyze the different points that make this unique piece of literature an art of the contact zone.…

    Scottsboro Boys Relation to to Kill a Mockingbird

    The Scottsboro Boys case was a controversial case which took place in 1931, wherein nine boys were accused of raping two white girls while on a freight train heading to Memphis, Tennessee from Chattanoogaon, on March 25, 1931. It was one of the most important cases in American history that had much to do with racism in the South. This case grew quickly partly because of a growing American Communists movement taking place during that time. The party thought that they could publicize their ideas of opposing racism and racial segregation and fighting for integration in workplaces during the height of the Jim Crow period of the U.S. by supporting this case. These boys were really poor so they couldn’t afford a good lawyer, but the Communists gathered up some cash and assigned Samuel Leibowitz, the second best lawyer in America during that time, to stand up for the nine black boys in this insidious accusation of rape.…
