Question 13

IMPORTANT DATES HISTORY: 1789 Bill of Rights is established.

Answer 13

Bill of Rights are about personal liberty.

Question 14

Is the US a democracy?

Answer 14

The constitutional protection of individual freedom makes our country a “law based” system of government. Keep in mind that many people think the US is a democracy, but it
is not a “true democracy.” A good way to remember it is in remembering the Pledge of Allegiance. “I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands.” The US is a Republic with a representative Democracy.

Question 15

West Virginia State Board of Education v.
Barnette, 319 U.S. 624 (1943)

Answer 15

I’m sure you all know you cannot force a student to say the pledge of allegiance. The case in which the United States Supreme Court first decided students’ rights regarding the Pledge of Allegiance was West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette, 319 U.S. 624 (1943). The Court held that forcing students to stand for the Pledge constituted compelled speech and violated the First Amendment. This issue has been at the heart of the recent NFL “take a knee” protests. The Bill of Rights guarantees us the right to refuse to stand for the flag or be forced to recite the pledge or the National Anthem. Forcing players to stand is a violation of the Constitution and the First Amendment.

Question 27

What did President Andrew Jackson did during 1828?

Answer 27

President Andrew Jackson signs the Indian Removal Act. This Act authorized the forced removal of Native Americans from Tennessee and other Eastern States, to Mississippi. It was a violent and traumatic experience.

Question 28

What continued happening during 1836?

Answer 28

The Indian Removal Act continues to remove Native Americans from their land. In a forced removal known as the Trail of Tears, Cherokee are forced from Georgia to Oklahoma. Nearly 4,0000 Native Americans die from illness and starvation.

Question 29

Wrong perceptions about Christopher Columbus

Answer 29

Christopher Columbus never discovered America. He never set foot in America but landed in the Caribbean because he got lost looking for a different route to India. This is why he called the Natives “Indians.” His crew, and the subsequent crews that came over, decimated the Natives with European
diseases against which the Natives had no resistance. These diseases then spread into North America as well, so while Columbus’ diseases may have discovered America and killed most of the people, he never went to America. He also enslaved and murdered many Natives in his attempt to find “gold” which was one of the purposes of his mission.

Question 30

What happened in the centuries after Columbus landed in the new world on October 12, 1492?

Answer 30

More native North Americans died each year from infectious diseases brought by European settlers than were born. For North America alone, estimates of native populations in Columbus’ day range from 2 to18 million. By the end of the 19th century the population had shrunk to about 530 000. This is considered a genocide.

Question 31

What was The Civil War about?

Answer 31

the impetus of the debate in the Civil War was whether or not the state had the right to keep using slavery. (so it was about slavery ._.)

Question 32

What is USA’s unusual political system?

Answer 32

United States of America has an unusual political system in which individual states have the right to make State Laws that may differ from state to state. This is supposed to allow our country to operate as a both a Republic and a Representative Democracy. There are Federal Laws and there are State Laws.

Question 33

Democracy Vs Republic Video

Answer 33

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdS6fyUIklI

Question 34

how do we decide on what is “best” for our country? what is the difference between federal and state laws?

Answer 34

we consider it state by state in addition to the Federal Law. Think of the states as small towns in a bigger area of the entire United States. Each small town might have issues that matter in Town A that aren’t as important in Town B, C, or D. If we had to have a consensus on what everyone agreed was
important in the budget, towns with unique needs might suffer if they had to get everyone to agree on the issue. So our political system allowed the small towns to make their own rules based on how their people vote.

Now, considering this with regard to State issues, we can see how it would be important for a state to be able to make laws that benefit the state due to agricultural, land, water and population issues. For example if we lived in Florida, since it has a lot of marshes, waterways and coastlines, those issues would matter more in their budget than a place like Arizona. Another example would be places that have a lot of immigration. Obviously there is a need to reflect diversity in a place like NYC and Boston, so those States would use part of their budget and may make State laws that reflect those issues whereas a state like Minnesota that doesn’t have a lot of immigration would be more concerned about plowing the roadways in the winter or farming issues. That is the difference between State and Federal Laws. The States want the Federal government to stay out of it and let them run their state as they see fit. This is a common sense solution to how to create an infrastructure of a State that most benefits the people who live there.

Question 35

Who decides the RIGHTS OF PEOPLE?

Answer 35

you can’t allow the State to make rules that reflect the attitudes or the opinions of the majority of the people in the state because if you do this, minority groups would be left out. So these are then sent over to the Supreme Court to evaluate their constitutional legality. You can’t vote on “rights.”
For example if I lived in a town that had 10,000 white people in it and only 2,000 black people lived in the town and they were voting over whether or not black students have the right to attend white schools, the black people would always be out-numbered. It wouldn’t be a fair vote if there were a majority of racists in that town.

Question 36

Tyranny of the Majority

Answer 36

Having the whites decide for a whole town even if there are other POCs there. Brown versus the Board of Ed 1954 addressed this issue.

Founding Fathers were prepared for and created the system of Checks and Balances in our system of government to prevent. Keep in mind that our Founding Fathers knew this way ahead of time and prepared for it. This isn’t something new. Our Founding Fathers were more concerned about personal liberty and freedom than the rights of the government. They created a Republic with laws to protect the people and a representative Democracy to allow communities to build their towns, cities and states. But they were very concerned about individual rights being trampled by the popular vote. (This is why we have an Electoral College and don’t elect our President by popular vote.)

Question 37

What fears did Alexander Hamilton brought up to Thomas Jefferson?

Answer 37

Hamilton argued the same fears regarding the use of pure direct democracy by the majority to elect a demagogue who, rather than work for the benefit of all citizens, set out to either harm those in the minority or work only for those of the upper echelon.

Question 38

(Notice in this video the man is criticizing Hillary Clinton. Historical facts are facts, it’s not about sides or politics.)

Answer 38

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9SSQZX8fUE

Question 39

How does the Tyranny of the Majority relate to the Civil War and State’s rights?

Answer 39

Essentially, what happened with the Civil War is that the issue of slavery, which had been debated for decades, was coming to an end. Some states in the South whose regional economy was mostly dependent upon agriculture, particularly cotton, and a plantation system that relied upon the labor of African-American slaves, didn’t want to give up slavery because it would have huge economic consequences on their farming industry since they would no longer have free labor. The push to outlaw slavery was gaining support. The Federal government was deciding that slavery should be outlawed in this country because it violated human
liberty. The States that wanted to keep slavery “saw the writing on the wall.” In other words they realized they were going to lose their right to keep slavery legal in their state because they were out-numbered So they decided to secede (leave) from the United States and try to become a different country with their own laws. Twenty-one northern and border-states remained as The United States, while the eleven slave states renamed their “country,” The Confederate States of America.

Question 40

The Confederate States of America (CSA or C.S.)

Answer 40

Commonly referred to as the Confederacy, it was an unrecognized country in North America that existed from 1861 to 1865. The Confederacy was originally formed by seven secessionist slave- holding states – South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas – in the Lower South region of the United States.

Question 41

Who were the Confederates?

Answer 41

Terrorists attacking the Union of the United States. No foreign government officially recognized the Confederacy as an independent country, although the United Kingdom and France granted it belligerent status, which allowed Confederate agents to contract with private concerns for arms and guns and other supplies.

Question 42

Summary and Facts about the Civil War and confederacy

Answer 42

So YES the issue regarding the Civil War was about keeping slavery legal. And NO the Confederate flag is not about keeping Southern pride alive. It’s the flag of terrorists that attacked the United States. This is why the people who marched with it recently also marched with people carrying Nazi flags. These people were not about preserving the pride of American history, they were about rebelling against the Republic of the United States and seceding
from the Constitutional rule of law. This is also why they want guns. Not for personal protection, but for protection against the Federal Government.

Question 43

1850-1865 Timeline

Answer 43

Hughes called it “the Court’s greatest self-inflicted wound”. Junius P. Rodriguez says it is “universally condemned as the U.S. Supreme Court’s worst decision”.

1860: November 6th Abraham Lincoln is elected as president.

1860: South Carolina secedes from the Union (Dec. 20). Southern states create the Confederate States of American and secede from the Union. These states include Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Texas and Louisiana.

The Gettysburg Address is famously delivered by President Lincoln.

Question 48

What war ended in 1865?

Answer 48

American Civil War ends. In an event that is generally regarded as marking the end of the Civil War, Confederate General Edmund Kirby Smith, commander of Confederate forces west of the Mississippi, signs the surrender terms offered by Union negotiators.

measure” for the country. This is a violation of the Bill of Rights and is why many people are concerned about Trump banning Arab Muslims in the U.S. The Japanese Internment is a terrible mistake in American History and many are worried about repeating it.

Question 63

Hitler’s Final Solution

Answer 63

The origin of the “Final Solution,” the Nazi plan to exterminate the Jewish people, remains uncertain. What is clear is that the genocide of the Jews was the culmination of a decade of Nazi policy, under the rule of Adolf Hitler. The “Final Solution” was implemented in stages. After the Nazi party rise to power, state-enforced racism resulted in anti-Jewish legislation, boycotts, “Aryanization,” and finally the “Night of Broken Glass” (Kristallnacht) pogrom, all of which aimed to remove the Jews from German society. After the beginning of World War II, anti-Jewish policy evolved into a comprehensive plan to concentrate and eventually annihilate European Jewry.

Hitler attempted to exterminate as many Jews and “non-desirables” as possible as part of The Final Solution. Many died in Concentration Camps like Auschwitz.

Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., is assassinated in Memphis, Tenn.

Question 70

Where was Robert F. Kennedy assassinated?

Answer 70

Sen. Robert F. Kennedy is assassinated in Los Angeles, Calif.

Question 71

Vietnam

Answer 71

Vietnam had a very significant impact on the United States. It is not considered a real war because we never declared war, even though we often refer to it that way. Since the United States Congress never declared war against Vietnam, it was actually a conflict. In fact, the U.S Congress hasn’t declared any war since the World War II in 1942. So the Afghanistan (against al-Qaeda) or Iraq l ikewise is not a war but just a conflict.

Question 72

After Vietnam two important things happened:

Answer 72

 The voting age was lowered to 18: March 23, 1971. Passed by Congress Ratified July 1, 1971.

 Citizens are legally required to serve in Jury Duty.
 Citizens are legally required to register their children in school (Homeschooling is considered registering a child to receive education. All children are mandated to receive an education. Jury Duty and Schooling are LEGAL requirements).
 Citizens are expected to obey laws and also to pay taxes.
 US Citizens are encouraged to participate in the government by voting. However it is not a legal responsibility to vote.

Question 74

Civil Rights Movement

Answer 74

• most famous movement in US History
  -This movement is
  fundamental in fighting for equality in education and has had an impact on the Special Education Programs even to today.
• Lasting from about 1955 until 1968 it concerned the Rights of African Americans in the United States.

Question 75

Two prior court rulings to the Civil Rights movement that had a major impact on the educational rights of African Americans in the United States:

Answer 75

• Plessy vs Ferguson (1896; Hint: remember
  this as: Plessy is Messy. Plessy made a huge mess in the United States): This ruling is shocking to modern Americans because it ruled that African Americans were not allowed to eat in the same restaurants, go to the same schools and live in the same neighborhood as white people simply because of the color of their skin. It is a horrible part of American history that has hurt and oppressed many of our people. This ruling upheld Segregation as legal.
• Many years later the case Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka Kansas 1954 overturned Plessy v. Ferguson. The Supreme Court ruled that schools must be desegregated. Although the laws were changing, people’s attitudes were not, which led to some of the following moments in history.

Question 76

Example of why racism and segregation are not “ancient history”: Ruby Bridges

Answer 76

Ruby Nell Bridges was born on 8th of September 1954, the year the US Supreme Court ruled that all schools must desegregate. Ruby had gone to a segregated kindergarten and after passing psychological and education tests, she was the only black child chosen to attend William Frantz Elementary in 1960. Below is a picture of Ruby Bridges in 1960 and another of Ruby Bridges today. Those impacted by Institutionalized racism are not just old black and white pictures of people from long ago in history. They are with us and are impacted by the racism that has endured: it is alive and well around us every day. We are all hurt by the
devastating effects of racism and as educators we have a specific responsibility to stop it when we see it happening today. This is our job as participants in living history: we must always speak out against it and not be afraid to do so.

Question 77

Example of why racism and segregation are not “ancient history”: Rosa Parks

Answer 77

Rosa Parks and the Montgomery Bus Boycott, 1955–1956. When Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus so that a white man could sit down, she was arrested. This arrest sparked outrage among the African American community and others who were sympathetic to their fight. Montgomery Alabama’s buses were boycotted for 381 days until the full desegregation was mandated on the buses.

Question 78

Brown v. the Board of Education of Topeka Kansas effectively desegregating the school system in the United States:

Answer 78

Though this happened in 1954 it took years
to enforce it. Two examples of those who refused to desegregate the school were the Governor of Arkansas Orval Faubus and the Governor of Alabama George
Wallace. Below is a picture of Faubus mobilizing the local National Guard to prevent African American students from entering Central High School. Notice the Confederate flag. President Eisenhower had to federalize the National Guard in Little Rock Arkansas to enforce desegregation at Central High School in1957.

Elizabeth Ekford was one of the “Little Rock Nine.” These nine African America students were on the front lines of attempting to integrate the schools.

Question 79

What are “Sit ins”?

Answer 79

Lunch Counters at Woolworths stores were the scene of “sit-ins” during the 1960s. Sit ins were peaceful protests during which African Americans would refuse to leave
the white section of the lunch counters until they were served. All were usually arrested. This form of protest is known as “Civil Disobedience” and was supported by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. who felt man had a moral obligation to disobey an unjust law.
