Andrew Jackson required votes to be elected as the U.S. President. Like any critical thinker, he developed a racist, fool-proof plan. Legislate laws that would only allow your own general supporters to vote. What this looked like was that suffrage was extended to white adult men. His political campaign was successful by following this plan, and he was elected as the seventh President of the United States of America. Although the period of Jacksonian Democracy lasted only until the 1860's when laws were passed allowing more people to vote, the blueprint Jackson made has been followed successfully countless times.

The compromise of 1850 is a major factor leading to the civil war. The North and South were both unhappy with current laws and the technicalities of the admittance of California as a state. The Fugitive Slave Act (FSA) was the side of the compromise that appealed to the South. Basically, it gave the federal government jurisdiction to travel to any territory to find and capture slaves, even if they escaped to free states. The compromise appealed to the North because the new state of California was to be a free state. The compromise didn't really appease both sides and just delayed the inevitable, civil war.

The American Civil War was a fight between the Union and Confederate states. Ultimately, the North won. It was fought because of the status of slavery. I do not think that there is much anyone does not know that I would have otherwise written in the summary so why not keep it terse.

The prison convict lease system was a tool the south used to extend slavery. Prisoners (95% of which were black) were leased by their jail to work in unsafe conditions such as mines, industrial factories, and even back to the cotton fields. In some cases certain companies buying the prisoner labor had such terrible conditions, that 25% of the inmates died year-to-year.

WWI veterans returning to the U.S. brought along violence and animosity. The poor, angry white veterans blamed the black veterans for their problems. Growing racial tension and the popularity of the film "The Birth of a Nation" led to the summer of 1919 being a summer of terrorism, violence, lynchings, white supremacy, and riots.

A movement caused by the struggle of legal segregation, that sought to formally end it. Famous figures from the movement include MLK, Rosa Parks, John Lewis, and the Little Rock Nine. Again, I feel like there isn't much to right about because there is too much to right about and most knowledge is generally known.

The U.S. supreme court came to the decision to end segregation in schools because it was unconstitutional. This historic event is generally known so here are some facts that I found that are interesting. Leading up to the case, black schools received, on average, 45-60% less funding than white schools. Also, five prior cases with the same issue, ended with the verdict in lower courts that segregating the schools was lawful.
