First, I would like to ask you a question. Are you of an African American background or are you African American? I was kind of confused in your initial entry.

Most African Americans understand that our ancestors were raped throughout history so your skin color is no mystery. I believe the American media has led African Americans to try and change, and at times deny or hate their own (darker) skin complexions which I, bythe way see as a symbol of dominance and strength. Love the skin you're in. After all its yours for life!

Coming from an African American background I think that slavery of African Americans in this country still has a negative affect on black people. The things that were taken away from our ancestry, has an affect such as the number of poor blacks in America compared to even hispanic. Since we were here before them, I would think that we should at least be a step ahead right, We are not ahead of them because we never received reparations for the things that we went through during slavery. Many blacks feel bad that our ancestors were not strong enough to overcome the American government and get what was owed to them, however we don't know exactly what things were like back then, my point is there could have been a good reason things worked out the way they did

Hispanics have their own wealth that they worked for many blacks have a strange feeling about that, envy. My skin is very light and to most black people I am not black because my skin is not dark enough. African genes were taken away from my ancestors during slavery, that is the story that was passed down, I have visible European genes. BOTH OF MY PARENTS ARE AFRICAN AMERICANS AND TO BLACK PEOPLE i AM NOT BLACK, BACAUSE MY SKIN IS YELLOWISH TAN, NOT LIGHT BROWN NOT DARK BROWN.

SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY

What national issues and attitudes combined to bring an end to reconstruction by 1877?

Two types of national issues and attitudes led to the end of Reconstruction in 1877: political and racial. By 1877, the nation and especially the North had issues unrelated to Reconstruction on its mind. The scandals of the Grant administration, including the "Whiskey Ring" caused good government to be a major issue for many. The Panic of 1873 was still causing economic disruption in 1877, and this economic crash took the focus off Reconstruction. Racial issues and attitudes also helped bring an end to Reconstruction. Many Northern whites were not committed to black equality or rights. By 1877 they were simply tired of taking self-government from Southern whites for the benefit of African Americans.


What events contributed to increasing anti-German attitudes in the US?

Several events contributed to increasing anti-German attitudes in the U.S. during World War I, including Germany's unrestricted submarine warfare, which resulted in American casualties, and the sinking of ships like the Lusitania. Propaganda campaigns portrayed Germans as brutal and barbaric, fostering negative stereotypes. Additionally, the U.S. government's wartime measures, such as the Espionage Act, heightened suspicion towards German Americans, leading to social ostracism and violence against German communities.

How did the experience of living under British rule influence the attitude of Americans toward limited government and rule of law?

Living under British rule instilled in Americans a strong desire for limited government and the protection of individual rights. The imposition of taxes and laws without representation fostered resentment toward centralized authority, leading to a belief that government should operate with the consent of the governed. This experience contributed to the development of foundational principles in American democracy, emphasizing the importance of rule of law and the safeguarding of personal liberties. Ultimately, these attitudes shaped the constitutional framework that prioritizes limited government and checks on power.
