This part of the United States consists of 16 different states being Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia. Regardless of the history in the South, it was, and still is, one the of the more diverse areas in the U.S, being that the South consists of many European, African, and Native American people. 

The south consists of 126 million people, which is 38% of the entire population of the United States. This means that just alone in the south, there is a greater population than in countries like Japan, Germany, Philippines and many more. 

Although there is many religions throughout the south, the most common one recognized is christianity, and in particular, Evangelicism. Evangelism is a form of christianity, where people who practice this, preach the gospel to try and spread the message and teachings of Jesus Christ. They are also known as Missionaries.

Johnson signed the Civil Rights act, which legally ended segregation institutionalized by these Jim Crow Laws.

For African Americans these laws created political, social, economic and educational disadvantages, which had already been segregated since the civil war in 1861-1865. This was yet another form of oppression towards African Americans in the United States, after the "end" of slavery in 1865. ]]> 2022-12-06 03:08:15 UTC https://padlet.com/s_cesar_navarro/p8t6izezqmy1krm/wish/2410070834 s_cesar_navarro https://padlet.com/s_cesar_navarro/p8t6izezqmy1krm/wish/2411544998 In 1892, Homer Plessy, a mixed race man, boarded a "whites only" train car. When he boarded the train car, he violated Louisiana's separate car act, which mandated "equal, but separate" railroad occupations for white and non-white passengers. 

In 1896, while Plessy was in the Louisiana supreme court, his lawyers argued that the act against Plessy was unconstitutional under the 14th amendment. Judge John Howard Ferguson denied the request to dismiss the charges on Plessy, deeming the acts against him were not unconstitutional. The Louisiana supreme court upheld plessy's appeal, and then he appealed to the U.S Supreme court.

Jim Crow laws were also upheld in this case, when the doctrine "separate but equal" was laid out. This doctrine was upheld for exactly 58 years until "Brown v Board of Education" in 1954, where the doctrine "separate but equal" was partially overturned and paved the way for integration in public schools. And segregation was legally banned on July 2nd, 1964.]]> 2022-12-07 02:22:15 UTC https://padlet.com/s_cesar_navarro/p8t6izezqmy1krm/wish/2411544998 s_sophiacruzbarrios https://padlet.com/s_cesar_navarro/p8t6izezqmy1krm/wish/2411569672 The Great Migration was was a movement of six million African Americans who moved from the American South to Northeast, Midwest, and West which included: New York, Chicago, Detroit, and Pittsburgh. This happened between 1910 and 1970. The reason behind this was because they were trying to escape racial violence, pursue economic and educational opportunities, and obtain freedom from the oppression of Jim Crow. 

In 1917 when the war effort began they sent bodied men to Europe to fight, they left their industrial job vacant. 

Migrants were able to find better jobs, in which then they fled to the South entrenched in Jim Crow. A lot of these African Americans faced injustices and difficulties after migrating. ]]> 2022-12-07 02:47:33 UTC https://padlet.com/s_cesar_navarro/p8t6izezqmy1krm/wish/2411569672 s_cesar_navarro https://padlet.com/s_cesar_navarro/p8t6izezqmy1krm/wish/2411614364 On March 7, 1965 as approximately 300 protesters led by John Lewis, Hosea Williams, Albert Turner, and Bob Mants, gathered at Brown Chapel A.M.E where they proceeded to march through the town peacefully. By the time protestors reached Edmund Pettus bridge in Selma, Alabama, they encountered Alabama State Troopers that demanded the protestors to split up and walk away. 

Hosea Williams walked to Major John Cloud, in attempts to proceed with the march and talk to him. John Cloud denied to speak with Williams. After this encounter, gas canisters were thrown into the group of protestors and troopers that were armed with clubs rushed and assaulted the protestors. Hundreds of non-violent protestors were injured and the ones who weren't had a gathering at the Brown Chapel A.M.E.

The events that happened on this day were caught live and broadcasted for the whole world to see. This event marked a historical moment in American history and named "Bloody Sunday". This event was a major factor in the passage of the Civil Rights act. ]]> 2022-12-07 03:34:40 UTC https://padlet.com/s_cesar_navarro/p8t6izezqmy1krm/wish/2411614364
