Discuss segregation, disenfranchisement and racial violence from Reconstruction through the 1920s. (Use the textbook and the lectures
You need a thesis statement and you must have specific historical evidence to support that thesis. You cannot simply say: “There was violence against African American in the 1910s.” You will need evidence to prove that. For example, The Tulsa Riot and give some details about it. Don’t just give a list of people or events. You must explain who or what they were and how they are connected.
at least 3-4 pages double-spaced to cover it/1000 words. Some people are very concise when they write and others are not. I have had great essays that are 2 pages and horrible essays that are 10 pages long!
Discuss segregation, disenfranchisement and racial violence from Reconstruction through the 1920s. (Use the textbook and the lectures on Slaughter House and Cruikshank, disfranchisement, lynching, and the rise of the new KKK).
Things you will want to cover, connect, analyze:
Slaughterhouse and Cruikshank cases
Plessy v Ferguson – what led to it? Civil Rights Act of 1875 – Overturned in 1883?
The Second Mississippi Plan and all that entailed – including Williams v MS
Lynching, Tulsa Riot, New KKK
How did African American’s respond? Think about Booker T. Washington, W.E.B. DuBois, Ida B. Well etc
