Should the reconstruction era of the United States be taught in the schools today?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

when Black men won the right to vote. Voting rights of Black people have been under attack ever since. A recent example is the 2018 election of Brian Kemp, who narrowly defeated Stacey Abrams for the Georgia governorship. As Georgia’s secretary of state, during the campaign, Kemp closed more than 200 polling places, suspended 53,000 voter registrations, and purged thousands of Black and Brown Georgians from the voter rolls. But far from being an anomaly, this type of voter suppression is commonplace throughout the United States.

“After Obama’s victory, 395 new voting restrictions were introduced in 49 states from 2011 to 2015,” wrote Ari Berman in Give Us the Ballot: The Modern Struggle for Voting Rights in America. “The sudden escalation of efforts to curb voting rights most closely resembled the Redemption period that ended Reconstruction, when every Southern state adopted devices like literacy tests and poll taxes to disenfranchise African American voters.”

It is unfortunate that in all the coverage given to voter suppression, there has been little attention devoted to the struggles that led to the 15th Amendment in the first place. Reconstruction, the era immediately following the Civil War and the abolition of slavery, is full of lessons for students, teachers, and activists.

Reconstruction was the first era of Black Power. Black people across the South took the lead in defining the meaning of freedom. Blacks and poor whites began to chip away at the racist ideology that had justified slavery for nearly two centuries, by taking the reins of state governments across the South from the old slave-owning elite. Together, they wrote new state constitutions and attempted to use their new political power to benefit the poor and working classes. Reconstruction governments abolished imprisonment for debt and property qualifications for holding elected offices, outlawed discrimination by hotels and railroads, and took actions to protect agricultural workers and sharecroppers. A key achievement of these governments was the establishment of free public education throughout most of the South (though most of these schools were segregated).

Women in the new democracy

Women at the start of the 20th century

It is only over the last three or four decades that women's role in the history of South Africa has, belatedly, been given some recognition. Previously the history of women's political organization, their struggle for freedom from oppression, for community rights and, importantly, for gender equality, was largely ignored in history texts. Not only did most of these older books lean heavily towards white political development to the detriment of studies of the history and interaction of whites with other racial groups, but they also focused on the achievements of men (often on their military exploits or leadership ability) virtually leaving women out of South African history.

The reason for this ‘invisibility' of women, calls for some explanation. South African society (and this applies in varying degrees to all race groups) are conventionally patriarchal. In other words, it was the men who had authority in society; women were seen as subordinate to men. Women's role was primarily a domestic one; it included child rearing and seeing to the well-being, feeding and care of the family. They were not expected to concern themselves with matters outside the home – that was more properly the domain of men. Economic activity beyond the home (in order to help feed and clothe the family) was acceptable, but not considered ‘feminine'. However, with the rise of the industrial economy, the growth of towns and (certainly in the case of indigenous societies) the development of the migrant labour system, these prescriptions on the role of women, as we shall see, came to be overthrown.

This is a particularly appropriate time to be studying the role of women in the progress towards the new South African democracy. The year 2006 was a landmark year in which we celebrated the massive Women's March to the Union Buildings in Pretoria 50 years ago. Women throughout the country had put their names to petitions and thus indicated anger and frustration at having their freedom of movement restricted by the hated official passes. The bravery of these women (who risked official reprisals including arrest, detention and even bannings) is applauded here. So too are their organizational skills and their community-consciousness – they were tired of staying at home, powerless to make significant changes to a way of life that discriminated against them primarily because of their race, but also because of their class and their gender.

We invite you to read, in the pages that follow, on the important role played by women in twentieth-century South Africa. A list of works for further reading and some appropriate documents are also included in this archive. Women, half the population after all, have been silent for too long in our history books, and although this need is now to an extent being addressed, there is still a huge gap in our knowledge on the role of South African women. It is high time that our young South Africans should put the record straight.

Que pudo haber pasado con los cacicazgos y señoríos indígenas frente al nuevo tipo de organización impuesto por los españoles

Answers

La respuesta correcta a esta pregunta abierta es la siguiente.

A pesar de que no anexas opciones o incisos para responder a la pregunta, podemos comentar lo siguiente.

Lo que pudo haber pasado con los cacicazgos y señoríos indígenas frente al nuevo tipo de organización impuesto por los españoles, fue que esos cacicazgos existentes fueron desapareciendo ante la nueva forma de colonización española que se implementó y se llamó el sistema de la Encomienda.

Esta nueva modalidad llevó al señor Hacendado a ser el dueño de las tierras y forzó a los indígenas a trabajar para él. Pudiéramos decir que sin ser esclavitud, los indígenas trabajaban para el señor Hacendado a a cambio de techo y comida.

Los antiguos cacicazgos indígenas dejaron de tener efecto ante la presencia y dominio Español en América.

Los Españoles cobraban el tributo a los indígenas que explotaban en el sistema "Encomienda." Los dueños de las tierras o terratenientes usaban a los indígenas como trabajadores y los hacían trabajar a marchas forzadas. Más bien, los explotaban. A cambio, los dueños les daban cobijo y alimento. Los indios pagaban con trabajo y lo españoles los explotaban.

Stanton is determined to learn the things boys do to gain her father's acceptance

Answers

The complete question is:

Read the excerpt from Eighty Years and More: Reminiscences, 1815-1897.

“My father,” I replied, “prefers boys; he wishes I was one, and I intend to be as near like one as possible. I am going to ride on horseback and study Greek. Will you give me a Greek lesson now, doctor? I want to begin at once.”

“Yes, child,” said he, throwing down his h.o.e, “come into my library and we will begin without delay.”

Which best retells the central idea in this excerpt?

A). Stanton is determined to get the pastor to help her with her study of Greek.

B). Stanton is determined to make her father accept her just the way she is.

C). Stanton is determined to rebel against her father and prove him wrong.

D). Stanton is determined to learn the things boys do to gain her father’s acceptance.

Answer:

D). Stanton is determined to learn the things boys do to gain her father’s acceptance.

Explanation:

As per the question, the sentence 'Stanton is determined...father's acceptance' most adequately restates the key idea of this excerpt. The dialogues clearly reflect that Stanton yearns to seek acceptance from her father. Her father likes boys and therefore, she aspires that she could be a boy so that she could get more love and affection from her father. She wants to be as close to him as possible and this is why she is resolved to learn everything that boys usually learn like riding the horse or studying Greek. This shows her longingness to gain affection and approval from her father. Thus, option D is the correct answer.
