1) If Slavery had legally ended and the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments were now included in the united states Constitution, why did African-Americans still face many of the same obstacles on their road to freedom after the Reconstruction Era? Explain specifically how slavery was re-implemented “in every way but name.”
African Americans continued to face discrimination and obstacles after the implementation of the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendment because the state governments used and created loopholes to circumvent the federal policy.
In 1877 Lincoln and Hayes – their policies during the reconstruction – Lincoln was against the institution of slavery, however he was till lenient on the south and did not do anything about civil right issues
1) What were the fundamental differences between Booker T. Washington’s and WEB Dubois’s approaches to African-American social upliftment? What was similar about their approaches and how do their ideas relate to one another?
Booker T. Washington and WEB Dubois wanted to help uplift African Americans from the wreckage of their lives, and their careers to stop black people being poor,to stop racism, and discrimination, but what they thought of achieving those changes were really different. Booker T. Washington thought that it would be better for blacks to get help from whites but still work for others like farmers, that they should not be really educated, and they should not ask for equality from white people. WEB Dubois believed the exact opposite; black people have the right to do whatever they want as white people exactly.
Booker was born a savler in 1856, and used to work as a slave, and struggle for social equality and voting rights, so he thought it would be peaceful for black people to work like that and get help from whites. WEB was born a free man and was educated at Harvard University, and thought it would be better for black people to have the right independently to get education, and work in a formal job like other people.
