The Atlanta Compromise, written in 1895, was an agreement made between Southern white leaders and African-American leaders. The agreement states that African-Americans will refrain from fighting for equality and work meekly in the South in exchange for fair treatment in law educational funding for African-Americans.
It is called a compromise. Examples are the Great Compromise, and the Three-Fifths Compromise.
African Americans should work towards economic security before trying to achieve racial equality.

The Atlanta Compromise
The Atlantic Compromise, also known as the "Atlanta Compromise," was delivered by Booker T. Washington in a speech at the Cotton States and International Exposition in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1895. In this speech, Washington advocated for the importance of vocational education and economic self-reliance for African Americans, suggesting that they should accept segregation and disenfranchisement in exchange for economic opportunities and advancement. His approach emphasized gradual progress and cooperation with white Americans.
Sherman's army left Atlanta in two columns and destroyed everything in its path until it arrived at Savannah.
Washington's opponents criticized his Atlanta Compromise because they believed it compromised too much on civil rights and equality, advocating a more gradual approach to racial integration and economic advancement. Critics like W.E.B. Du Bois argued that it effectively endorsed the subjugation of African Americans by prioritizing vocational training over higher education and civil liberties. They felt that the compromise perpetuated a system of segregation and inequality rather than challenging it directly, thereby undermining the fight for full civil rights.
