Analyzing Grace Obituary's Suffrage Movement
Gracelynn,

I agree with your answer to number 4 and I like how you put it. I think that it was a huge battle to gain racial equality between Congress and President Johnson and Congress had to keep passing acts to make sure they weren't letting Johnson do whatever he wanted as president, setting a precedence for all presidents that follow. Even after getting him impeached they still lost ground on racial equality in the south.

    Constitutional And Social Changes Between 1860-1877: A Cultural And Political Revolution

    From the year of Lincoln’s first election, to the end of the Reconstruction Act, America had been through a cultural and political revolution, that changed the entirety of the country's dynamics. After the close of the Civil War in 1865, the Union held a clear stand against the institution of slavery. After President Lincoln was assassinated, his vice president, Andrew Johnson, popularly seemed unfit for the task of reconstruction of the country. Congress, Constitutional amendments, racism, and hateful terror groups would develop the civil rights movement, that would be a national transformation. Between 1860-1877 constitutional and social developments extensively amounted to a revolution, by ways of a public and congressional push for a…

    The Long Road: The Black Codes

    The road begins with the end of the Civil war and the ratification of the thirteenth amendment, which was a straight road ahead at full speed. Then the road gets better when crossing the Freedmen's Bureau Bridge which transitioned freedmen from jobless and in poverty to the “other side of the bridge” which had employment and education options. However, soon after there was a road block, the Black Codes. The black codes limited the rights of blacks and tried to keep them from citizenship be they found a detour with full speed ahead. This detour was the 15th amendment which protected the right to vote for blacks. Then there was a slight turn away from citizenship and a bump in the road. The bump was the Jim Crow Laws.

    1996 Dbq

    The constitutional aspects of the advancements that took place were very crucial in this time period. One of these was the South Carolina Declaration of Secession, which was introduced in December of 1860 right before the Civil War began. In this document the government of South Carolina provides its reasons for it seceding from the United States, such as the North’s disregard for the Constitutional rule supporting slavery, and this was a big step for the formation of the Confederacy (Doc. A). Another major political move was when African Americans petitioned the Union convention of Tennessee that if they were forced into military duty they should also be allowed to vote (Doc C). This was a very bold move for blacks in America because it was an attempt for a higher authority to take notice of racial suffrage issues. Later on at the very end of the Civil War Lincoln’s Secretary, Gideon Welles, wrote a diary entry that he feels that the Federal government should have no control over the matter of suffrage in any states and that getting rid of slavery should be done constitutionally but spoke nothing of the matter of civil rights for blacks (Doc. D). All these controversies over slavery, suffrage and citizenship rights were solved during Reconstruction when the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments were added to the United States Constitution (Doc. G). The passing of these amendments was a huge revolution for America because it was now finally giving equality to all men.…

    Elizabeth Cady Stanton: The Women's Rights Movement

    Throughout history, struggles have defined groups of people and focused their resolve to alter the course of human history. For women, the early trials seemed insurmountable, but with the birth of a single female, woman acquired an advocate and spokesperson who would forge a new and fiery path for the women’s rights movement. Elizabeth Cady Stanton was a remarkable woman who from an early age recognized and despised the patriarchal society which heaped inequality and servitude upon woman. As a matter of fact, she realized that woman had fewer rights than the previously reviled black man. Stanton spent her life changing the perceptions and imposed…

    Reconstruction Dbq

    Following the culmination of the Civil War, issues regarding the restoration of seceded states to the Union, the emancipation of slaves, and the overall re-development of political institutions in the nation prevailed. The idea of Reconstruction was proposed to political officials in late 1865, when the effects of the tumultuous Civil War were at its most devastating. The various enactments of the period were deemed void and not actively enforced. Democratic and Republican political parties refused to meet resolutions, imperative to the reconstruction of the nation’s governmental structure. The economy was in an absolute distress, and emancipated blacks faced considerable amounts of opposition. Social, economic, and political policies instituted during the Reconstruction Era are deemed failures due to the burden of racial segregation, economic distress, party discrepancies, and the lack of effective enforcement.…

    Frq Civil War

    The post-civil war role of the federal government concerning race relations seemed solely to be the ensurance of the freedom of slaves. The government followed through with this action despite the large blow to the southern economy. To support slaves, the federal government passes three pro- African American Reconstruction amendments. The 13th abolished slavery, the 14th gave slaves the right to be citizens, and the 15th gave African Americans the right to vote. The government had completely changed since before the civil war and during the reconstruction, was very antislavery. However Southerners soon found ways to slide around these amendments. Slavery was abolished but soon after the sharecropping system was established providing African Americans with essentially the same future. Even after the 15th amendment was passed African Americans were still denied the right to vote by such state laws as poll taxes, literary tests, and grandfather clauses (only applying to blacks). The federal government simply chose to ignore these actions. This ignorance simply showed a limited amount of power.…

    Back in the 1920s there was a lot of tension in relations between the whites and colored americans. There was many race riots during this period of time which began to create a division between the white and the colored.Which then caused immigration, causing people to become unemployed, because of this the american government started to become worried and confused on what to do. Now, in the 21st century everyone is treated equal no matter what their skin color is , what gender they are, or what their race may be. Which is much different from the 1920s since then America has made an amazing improvement and joined the people together, as one.…

    Was Reconstruction Intelligent Failure?

    #1 I found that I had mixed feelings as to if the Reconstruction was a splendid failure or not so I did some research. The Reconstruction is surrounded by controversy. Eric Froner asserts that the Reconstruction did not achieve the radical goals that were hoped for but the Reconstruction did offer African Americans in the south a vison of a free society even if only temporarily. Historians have categorized the Reconstruction as a total failure and that failure proved to be detrimental to both blacks and whites. Both Northern and Southern historians wrote about the Reconstruction and were fascinated by it for two reasons, the first being that they believed that the south was…

    The Rise Of Women's Suffrage In The United States

    Women’s suffrage in the US was a very long hard fight with lots of conflicts within the suffragists. American women overcame conflicts within their own organizations, social stereotypes, and racial divisions before earning the right to vote. Conflicts within the American Equal Rights Association led to the division of the original group into two separate ones; the NWSA and the AWSA. Another issue was that women were stereotyped in the US as housewives and mothers, not anyone who should have the right to vote. Another big issue was whether or not they should campaign for african american women's rights to vote also or just focus on getting white women rights.…

    Give Me Liberty

    Following the Civil War there was a rapid progression of the role of African Americans in the United States. Reconstruction had given African Americans their freedom along with their rights to vote, own land, and even hold positions in office. Many historians would soon report about the great success Reconstruction made in the United States for the African American race in obtaining their ‘civil rights’. Even though America had created a society where all men were equal in the eyes of the law, great racism still lingered within many whites. The lack of protection against racial crimes upon the African American race became very apparent as white supremacy began to rise. Massacres took place, slaying dozens of black men for peacefully doing what the U.S. government clearly permitted them to do. I believe Reconstruction did fail, due not to racism of the country as a whole, but to racism in some white citizens who were reluctant to allow change in the social standing of the black man.…

    Essay on Women Suffrage Movement

    Since time immemorial, all movements aspiring for a goal had to do something to attain it. Citizens of colonized countries had to organize themselves and fight by means of revolution to attain freedom. Slaves who aspired for freedom had to fight for their freedom. Employees who aspired for better terms and conditions had to engage in strikes and picketing before their rights were recognized. The fight for equal rights necessitated decades of struggle and massive propaganda campaign by the leaders and its members so that their aspirations may finally be recognized. The women’s suffrage movement also would not have succeeded had they not been awakened and realized that their rights were being violated.…
