Actually it is a lot less than it used to be. I am 58 and I remember segregation and white people talking about Negroes and "colored people" in a derogatory way. Today a lot of those same groups of people have black friends or work with black people and there is a lot less of that than there used to be. Yes, there are people, usually of a lower socioeconomic class who are still acting that way because they see educated black people getting better jobs than they do and don't want to admit it is because that person is smarter and better educated and they want to bring them below them so they have someone to look down on. They don't want to admit that the problem is themselves.

Question 1: \ni. a republican form of government \nii. ratify 13th Amendment \niii. entitle blacks to an education\n\nQuestion 2:\nAnalysis\nOn Jan. 1, 1863, U.S. President Abraham Lincoln declared free all slaves residing in territory in rebellion against the federal government. This Emancipation Proclamation actually freed few people. It did not apply to slaves in border states fighting on the Union side; nor did it affect slaves in southern areas already under Union control. Naturally, the states in rebellion did not act on Lincoln's order. But the proclamation did show Americans-- and the world--that the civil war was now being fought to end slavery. \n\nLincoln had been reluctant to come to this position. A believer in white supremacy, he initially viewed the war only in terms of preserving the Union. As pressure for abolition mounted in Congress and the country, however, Lincoln became more sympathetic to the idea. On Sept. 22, 1862, he issued a preliminary proclamation announcing that emancipation would become effective on Jan. 1, 1863, in those states still in rebellion. Although the Emancipation Proclamation did not end slavery in America--this was achieved by the passage of the 13TH Amendment to the Constitution on Dec. 18, 1865--it did make that accomplishment a basic war goal and a virtual certainty. \n\nQuestion3: no clue, just read this\nIn the Wake of the Reconstruction  \n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\na.

Well before 1865 (Lincoln took office in 1861)only white men could vote. In 1865 slaves were so called emancipated and black men were supposedly given the right to vote. However, because of "black codes" very few black men were able to excercise their right to vote.  So no, the common person did not have the right to vote.  A constitutional amendment allowed all American women to vote in 1920.

African-Americans \nThe Fifteenth Amendment to the U. S. Constitution, ratified March 30, 1870, provided that all male citizens were entitled to vote.\n\nWomen in 1926 on August 26th the right to vote was signed into law by the Secretary of State Bainbridge Colby \n\nEighteen year olds\nA third voting rights movement was the movement in the 1960s to require the voting age to be lowered to eighteen from twenty-one. This movement was given far greater impetus by the Vietnam War, as it was noted that most of the young men who were being drafted to fight in it were too young to have any voice in the selection of the leaders who were sending them to fight. This, too, had previously been a state issue, as several states, notably Georgia, Kentucky, and Hawaii, had already allowed voting at a younger age than twenty-one. The Twenty-sixth Amendment required all states to set their voting age at no higher than eighteen (as of 2006 no state has opted for an earlier age, although some have discussed it).

Blacks initially escaped to the North in slavery days, because as soon as they crossed over into the Ohio border, they were free, or could no longer be captured and returned to slavery.  It was with that same ideal that the blacks moved to the north 40-50 years later.  There was definitely more freedom and more opportunities since freed, or runaway slaves were already present there, and making a living.  The attitude of the northern states were also more accomodating to blacks.  In the south, there still lingered huge resident with the emanicipation, and with the civil war.  and there was a greater presence of racism.  ppl were more motivated to keeping the races seperate in the south; in the north, the motivation was toward progression, enterprise, and creating a more stable country.\n\nthe kkk are an organization that started to protect pride amongst a group of whites who believed their values were no longer being recognized, and that their supposed superiority was being made inferior, especially due to the rise of equality for blacks.  it's not an organization that can be easily understood without knowing that it's bordered in hate and inferiority.

Changes to societies preception and acceptance takes time.  How long did it take to accept black people, society is still persecuting them.  If we just stick together and try to make small positive changes, things will get better.  It may take 10 years, it may to 100 years.  We just have to hang in there with our heads held high!  Hopefully what we do today will help in the future.

Well, in the south back in the late 1800's and early 1900's, they used to have intelligence tests and a poll tax that would keep most blacks away.  You could also set up polling places too far away from where they live, or put too few machines in making the wait too long.

Because the Republican Party has typically worked against the interests of the "average" African-American, whether it be welfare to poor blacks, affirmative-action, or anti-discrimination laws. So, alot of blacks see Republican conservative African-Americans (such as Powell, Clarence Thomas, Rice, etc) as being hypocrites, and traitors.\n\nAs far as successful, there are quite a few Democratic (or liberal) successful blacks. Al Sharpton for example :)\n\nEDIT : The above poster mentions the Oreo Syndrome. This refers to the idea of Republican blacks being "Black on the outside, white on the inside", again re-inforcing the "traitor" idea.

Racial equality was a major political issue in 1950's America.

First of all there were black people in the bible *shock*. One of the disciples is even refered to as Niger, which in Greek, yes Greek, this is not a misspelling of "the N-word", it means- "The Black Man". So, blacks even followed at the footsteps of Jesus when he was living. In the New Testament era, slavery was not an all bad thing. Slaves were required by law to be released at age 33, they were paid for their work and recieved the lump-sum at their release, and after they were release they became Roman citizens. It actually was a pretty good deal, assuming your "owner" treated you well, and most did from all of the accounts we have. Most slaves once released used the skills they learned and the money they made to go open their own business. Oh, and most Roman slaves were white. Also, there is a Ethiopian eunich mentioned in the New Testament, most likely he was black, and he became a Christian as well. So, Christianity and black Christians far outdates the White to black slavery you are refering to.

No and no.\n\nFor several decades, most African Americans have been Democrats, and tend to vote democratic. There are Republican African Americans, but they are a minority within their ethnicity.\n\nUntil the 60's or so, most white southerners were Democrat (AKA "Dixiecrats") and black southerners were Republican -- when they were allowed to register and vote at all. This was in reaction to Lincoln's having been a Republican. \n\nSince elected Democrats, and the Democratic party tended to favor civil rights and racial equality, southern Blacks switched parties, and segregationists switched to Republian (over the next several decades).\n\nBy no means are all Caucasions Republicans. Not even close.\n\nMembers of unions long tended to be Democrats, and the split was more along economic class lines.\n\nNow the biggest split seems to be that of rural vs. urban -- with city dwellers voting Democrat, and those in sparsely-populated areas voting Republican.\n\nBut these are general trends; there have always been exceptions.\n\nRemember, African Americans are only about 12% of the US population -- if the two parties represented those two races, Democrats would be a minor party.

Your question is a good one. When Blacks were brought to this hemisphere they were severely punished, tortured and killed for living by their native religion, cultures and other attributes that were not to the advantage of those who enslaved them. Many who were baptised and forced to practice Catholicism were able to preserve their beliefs by using saint's names to refer to dietys they recognized in Africa. This practice remains and with Blacks living with and intermarrying with people of Latin descent, you will find many practitioners of Santaria. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santaria  Africans had an oral tradition of passing information from generation to generation, but were banned from speaking their native language. Knowing this, you can guess how difficult it would have been to pass along ideas and concepts that did not have a frame of reference in the English language. Historically other people who immigrated were allowed to "assimilate" seamlessly. Blacks had to fight to be included in the mainstream via court decisions such as Brown vs. the Board of Education, and the Civil Rights Act. In the 60's Blacks tried to attend the University of Arkansas, which their tax dollars supported. They were met by the State's Governor who tried to refuse admission. Rosa Parks after putting in a hard day at work was told to get up and move to the back of a public bus. Even as free people, historically elected officials tried to force subordination and separation on Blacks. The civil rights act made it unlawfus to discriminate but does not force or encourage assimilation. Fast forward to today...there is still much polarization, which is unfortunate. We live in a wonderful country and if everyone would live and let live and really learn to listen to each other, we would find we have much more in common than we have that is different.

Hitler's Nazi party captured 18% of the popular vote in the 1930 elections. In 1932, Hitler ran for President and won 30% of the vote, forcing the eventual victor, Paul von Hindenburg, into a runoff election. A political deal was made to make Hitler chancellor in exchange for his political support. He was appointed to that office in January 1933. \n\nUpon the death of Hindenburg in August 1934, Hitler was the consensus successor. With an improving economy, Hitler claimed credit and consolidated his position as a dictator, having succeeded in eliminating challenges from other political parties and government institutions. The German industrial machine was built up in preparation for war. By 1937, he was comfortable enough to put his master plan, as outlined in Mein Kampf, into effect. Calling his top military aides together at the "FÅhrer Conference" in November 1937, he outlined his plans for world domination. Those who objected to the plan were dismissed.\n\ncheers

Anywhere from very effective to not effective at all. Some examples: The populists campaigned in 1896 (primarily) on a platform of free coinage of silver, as opposed to gold. This was a measure to help the American farmer. The measure was finally adopted in the 1930's changing the basis of  our currency from gold to silver. This was a sound move. Now of course we have the "Federal Reserve Note" which is only as good as the U.S. credit in the world market. The Progressive Party in 1904 and 1908 enacted such measures as the direct election of Senators by the residents of the States, The Food and Drug Adminisrtration which to this day assures the quality of almost every item of food, the law which makes the 40 hr work week standard (as well as outlawwing child labor) and the law guaranteeing labor the right to strike. Other legacies of this period are the right of women to vote, the Federal Income Tax, The Federal Reserve System, and the Establishm,ent of the National Park System. Less long lived was the effort launched by the temperance movement to ban alcohol(passed as a Constitutional Amendment in 1919), which was a general disaster and was repealed in 1933. While in effect, Prohibition fostered the growth of organized crime in the U.S. and this is still with us today. So there were both positive and negative aspects of the changes occurring between 1890 and 1935.
