The Rise of Jim Crow

Although it failed, the Populist movement and other multi-racial efforts made the white Southern elite afraid that the poor whites and Blacks might unite to challenge the power of the plantation owners. So, in all Southern states, various laws were passed by white Southern legislatures to segregate – split up – Blacks and whites in Southern society. This system of segregation was nicknamed “Jim Crow” after a popular song and dance routine by a white man making fun of Black people.
The laws were very extensive. Blacks and whites were forbidden from marrying each other. Blacks and whites had to have separate toilets, separate park benches, separate drinking fountains and restaurants. Blacks on streetcars (and later buses) were forced to sit in back and give up their seats if white passengers needed them. Of course, whites and Blacks had separate schools.
The Supreme Court endorsed this segregation in the case of Plessy v. Ferguson, saying segregation was fine as long as it was “separate but equal”. But it was never equal. Black schools were always given less resources and less funding. Black toilets and drinking fountains were always of lesser quality. If a business could not afford separate services, they simply refused to serve Blacks. Blacks were barred from white restaurants, shops, hotels. At gas stations, Black people had to go into the woods to relieve themselves because they were not allowed to use the toilets. It was humiliating to Black people and meant to be.
And it was clear that the main purpose of this segregation was not just humiliation but making sure that Blacks and whites lived in separate social circles so they would not unite as workers or as poor people. All meetings, concerts, and church services were segregated by law. A Tennessee law even forbid Blacks and whites from playing checkers together. Obviously, they had to pass these laws because Blacks and whites were mixing in these ways and it had to be stopped because if they mixed socially, poor whites and Blacks could unite politically against the wealthy elite.
This situation made it difficult to form labor unions, hold strikes or demand better wages and working conditions in the South. Up until this day, the former Confederacy is the poorest part of the country. Welfare payments are the lowest. Services are the weakest. But taxes for the rich are also the lowest. This was the real purpose of Jim Crow. And although segregation itself ended after the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s, the effects of this racist system remain today.

How does politics affect the production of art in society?

Answers

Answer:

Art contributes politics in different areas such as critical thinking, aesthetics, directing societies, providing peace and order

Explanation: Art can be understood as a form of political discourse; as a descriptive, an interpretive, or an explicitly critical approximation; or as a vehicle with which to transcend the political. Art complicates our understandings and perceptions of the world, altering the discursive frames within which the political is negotiated. Research on politics and art explores art’s engagement with politics and its vision of the world; it analyzes art’s contribution to both our understanding of politics and problem-solving. Current research also explores art’s critical and emancipatory potentialities, as well as participatory art and social activism in light of new forms of political communication. Such research is interdisciplinary and open to methodological pluralism and innovation. This article discusses artistic and performative imaginations of the political; knowledge production through art; art’s engagement with violence and peace; the art-audience interface; ethics and aesthetics of political art; and art’s function as a political witness.

Art and artists may seek to catalyze political change. Artists may engage with political movements and humanitarian organizations, but they also may catalyze political change without joining or explicitly supporting political movements. Artists may be political without attempting to be political

What ideas did President George Washington present in his farewell address?

In his farewell Presidential address, George Washington advised American citizens to view themselves as a cohesive unit and avoid political parties and issued a special warning to be wary of attachments and entanglements with other nations.

In the 32-page handwritten address, Washington urged Americans to avoid excessive political party spirit and geographical distinctions. In foreign affairs, he warned against long-term alliances with other nations.

You should listen to the song "One Last Time" from the musical Hamilton by Lin-Manuel Miranda.

Hamilton sought a strong central government acting in the interests of commerce and industry. He brought to public life a love of efficiency, order, and organization. In response to the call of the House of Representatives for a plan for the "adequate support of public credit," he laid down and supported principles not only of the public economy but of effective government.

How were Thomas Jefferson's and Alexander Hamilton's views similar and different on these issues:

Hamilton pointed out that America must have credit for industrial development, commercial activity, and the operations of government. It must also have the complete faith and support of the people. There were many who wished to repudiate the national debt or pay only part of it. Hamilton, however, insisted upon full payment and also upon a plan by which the federal government took over the unpaid debts of the states incurred during the Revolution.

Hamilton also devised a Bank of the United States, with the right to establish branches in different parts of the country. He sponsored a national mint, and argued in favor of tariffs, using a version of an "infant industry" argument: that temporary protection of new firms can help foster the development of competitive national industries. These measures -- placing the credit of the federal government on a firm foundation and giving it all the revenues it needed -- encouraged commerce and industry and created a solid phalanx of businessmen who stood firmly behind the national government.

Jefferson advocated a decentralized agrarian republic. He recognized the value of a strong central government in foreign relations, but he did not want it strong in other respects. Hamilton's great aim was more efficient organization, whereas Jefferson once said "I am not a friend to a very energetic government." Hamilton feared anarchy and thought in terms of order; Jefferson feared tyranny and thought in terms of freedom.

One clash between them, which occurred shortly after Jefferson took office as secretary of state, led to a new and profoundly important interpretation of the Constitution. When Hamilton introduced his bill to establish a national bank, Jefferson objected. Speaking for those who believed in states' rights, Jefferson argued that the Constitution expressly enumerates all the powers belonging to the federal government and reserves all other powers to the states. Nowhere was it empowered to set up a bank.

Hamilton contended that because of the mass of necessary detail, a vast body of powers had to be implied by general clauses, and one of these authorized Congress to "make all laws which shall be necessary and proper" for carrying out other powers specifically granted. The Constitution authorized the national government to levy and collect taxes, pay debts and borrow money. A national bank would materially help in performing these functions efficiently. Congress, therefore, was entitled, under its implied powers, to create such a bank. Washington and the Congress accepted Hamilton's view -- and an important precedent for an expansive interpretation of the federal government's authority.

Should states allow non-citizens who have applied for
citizenship to vote in elections? Why or why not?||

Answers

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Most people move to America for a better chance, we should let them vote

Answer:

Absolutely NOT

Explanation:

Elected officials set the policies and laws of the states and country.  Why would you want to allow non-citizens to determine what policies and laws become part of your state or federal government.

The Federal government has already set a law stating you must be a citizen to vote in Federal elections.  Why should it be any different for state or local elections?

If you allow non-citizens to vote, what would stop all foreign powers from sending people into the country just to vote on election day and then leave again?

Just as an example, what if you lived in a very small community.  Any country from around the world could send enough people into the country to come to your community just to vote in the election.  They could completely alter the election if they voted for someone that nobody in that community wanted in that position.

What if in 1790, when the independence of this country was won, England had sent over enough people to vote in the elections in each state?  Do you think this country would have survived?

If someone wants to be able to vote in this country, then they should be more than willing to become a legal citizen first !!!

The idea to allow non-citizens to vote is absolutely insane.   There is no other country in the world that would even consider this to be a good idea.

In what two ways did President Franklin D. Roosevelt play a role in the Bonus Army marches?
He offered them the opportunity to enlist in the Civilian Conservation Corps.
He signed a bill authorizing early payment to veterans.
He provided food and shelter to the veterans during their marches.
He decreased the benefits that veterans were receiving.
He ordered the army to have the veterans violently removed from Washington.

Answers

The two ways in which President Franklin D. Roosevelt played a role in the Bonus Army marches are "He offered them the opportunity to enlist in the Civilian Conservation Corps, and He provided food and shelter to the veterans during their marches."

During the second Bonus Army march in 1832, President Franklin Roosevelt allowed the veterans to be integrated into civil service through the Civilian Conservation Corps.

He also gave them food and ensured the band played for them during the march.

Option B is wrong because Roosevelt did not sign a bill authorizing early payment to veterans, he did the opposite, which Congress later vetoed in 1836.

Option D is wrong because Roosevelt did not decrease the benefits that veterans were receiving.

Option E is wrong because Roosevelt did not order the army to remove the veterans from Washington violently; rather, he welcomed them with food and band.

Hence, in this case, it is concluded that the correct answer is options A and C.
