It shows how scared they were of people of different races and think that just because of your color you are prone to do more dangerous things.…

    The colonists left England and settled in the different areas of the East coast which eventually led to cultural differences in social interactions, education, and the settlement of different religious groups. The social interactions in the northern colonies differed greatly from those of the southern colonies. The northern colonies’ families, like in New England, centered around patriarchy and male predominance. The southern colonies had an unbalanced ratio of males to females with a male majority. This resulted in greater independence for females. Women had more power and played a more dominant role southern culture. They owned plantations and were usually head of the household. Meanwhile, in the north, Puritans, believed in males having absolute authority over the family, especially over wives and daughters. Since less women were available in south than in the north, the…

    Southern Horrors

    • 295 Words
    • 2 Pages

    The excuses whites used during Reconstruction to torture and murder newly freed African Americans were as false as they were numerous. In Southern Horrors and Other Writings, Wells relates many of these. Excuses ranging from sassing whites to rape to murder prove that "colored men and women [were] lynched for almost any offense" (Wells 78). According to Wells, the three most common excuses used to victimize African Americans during and after Reconstruction were that the victim had participated in a riot, the victim was a threat to white domination in government, or the victim had raped a white female. Each of these reasons Wells disclaims. The first excuse is easily disproved, as "no Negro rioter was ever apprehended and proven guilty, and no dynamite ever recorded the black man's protest against oppression and wrong" (76). In other words, no riots were ever transpired that caused threat to white supremacy. African American domination of government soon lost its appeal as an excuse to lynch because laws were passed eliminating any chance of such a scenario. "Southern governments all subverted and the Negro actually eliminated from all participation in state and national elections, there could be no longer an excuse for killing Negroes. to prevent 'Negro Domination"' (77). However the African Americans were still made victims of horrendous crimes. Thus the third excuse of rape surfaced. This excuse, once accepted as true, "placed [the African American] beyond the pale of human sympathy" and the violence increased(78). The charge of rape, therefore, was used in many cases to lynch innocent African American men. So many cases in fact, that it was soon obvious to the world that this was just a cover for mob violence. Indeed, the victim's innocence was often proved after his brutal…

    Findings explain how traditions were formulated and carried out for so long with such importance. Traditions are strongly held up in the South and while some slipped through the cracks and there is a need to determine whether this was a positive or negative attribution to history in the South and contemporary Southern culture.

    The United States of America had not always been such an easy way of life Americans face today. Life in the post civil war south after America had gained independence they need a workforce that they simply did not have and so they had taken blacks as slaves.

Life in the Antebellum South can be considered a predecessor to the so called ¨social classes” between the whites and other minorities today, shaping history and creating the life that most Americans would recognize today.…
