    The Seventeenth Amendment was added to the United States Constitution yesterday and it established the popular election of United States Senators by the people of the states. Since state legislatures were notoriously corrupt at the time, the path to the Senate quickly became who could buy their way in. The 17th Amendment of the Constitution tried to solve this problem. Prior to the 17th Amendment, the Constitution specified that senators were elected by state legislatures. The reason why the Framers of the Constitution originally did this was because they wanted state governments to have some kind of role in the national government. But widespread corruption made people lose faith in the system. Furthermore, sometimes state legislatures just…

    In 1900 more than two-thirds of 10 million African Americans lived in the South; most were sharecroppers and tenant farmers. Rural or urban, Southern blacks faced poverty, discrimination, and limited employment opportunities. At the end of the 19th century, Southern legislatures passed Jim Crow laws that separated blacks and whites in public places. Because blacks were deprived of the right to vote by the grandfather clause, poll taxes, or other means, their political participation was limited. As African Americans tried to combat racism and avoid racial conflict, they clashed over strategies of accommodation and resistance. Booker T. Washington, head of the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, urged blacks to be industrious and frugal, to learn manual skills, to become farmers and artisans, to work their way up economically, and to win the respect of whites. When blacks proved their economic value, Washington argued, racism would decline. An agile politician, with appeal to both whites and blacks, Washington urged African Americans to adjust to the status quo. In 1895, in a speech that critics labeled the Atlanta Compromise, Washington contended that blacks and whites could coexist in harmony with separate social lives but united in efforts toward economic progress. Northern intellectual W.E.B. Du Bois challenged Washington's…

    Washington vs DuBois

    • 3 Pages

    Washington presented his approach to an audience on September 18, 1895, when he delivered his Atlanta Compromise Address. In his address, Washington advised blacks to accept discrimination for the time being and concentrate on elevating themselves through hard work and an education and career in an industrial study, such as farming, enterprise, housekeeping, or thrift. He explained that this would earn the respect of whites and eventually incorporate them into society. Washington assured, “No race that has anything to contribute to the markets of the world is going to be in any degree ostracized” (Source D). DuBois, on the other hand, disagreed and argued that social change could only be accomplished by giving the black population a higher education and developing them into cultured individuals. Although well intentioned, DuBois’ plan was quite unrealistic. During this time period, over half of the black population above age nine was illiterate and only about 1/3 of Negros…

    In 1895, Washington delivered a speech at the ATLANTA EXPOSITION. He declared that African Americans ought to specialise in education. Learning Latin and Greek served no purpose within the day-after-day realities of Southern life. African Americans ought to abandon their short hopes of social and political equality. Washington argued that once whites saw African Americans tributary as productive members of society, equality would naturally follow. For those dreaming of a black utopia of freedom, Washington declared, "Cast down your bucket wherever you're." several whites approved of this moderate stance, whereas African Americans were split. Critics referred to as his speech the Atlanta Compromise and defendant Washington of coddling Southern…

    The Cotton States and International Exposition was held in Atlanta, Georgia beginning in September of 1895. Booker T. Washington was invited to give the opening address. The subject for this address was racial cooperation and has come to be known as the Atlanta Compromise Address. Booker T. Washington was born into slavery and with hard work and determination became a nationally known scholar and orator, as well as an influential leader of the black community. At the time of the speech, lynching and overt violent acts of racism were rampant in the South.

Mr. Washington used this platform to raise awareness of many issues and, by any standard, helped to improve the life of black Americans in the South.…

    In 1900, in what became known as the Boxer Rebellion (or the Boxer Uprising), a Chinese secret organization called the Society of the Righteous and Harmonious Fists led an uprising in northern China against the spread of Western and Japanese influence there.
