If it had not been for slavery, the civil rights movement would not have been necessary. \n\nThe purpose of the civil rights movement was to correct the damage done by slavery and 100 years of oppression that followed.

In the 60's when THE CIVIL RIGHTS BILL was signed,they were miles apart.In the 40 some odd years since them let's hope they have grown to workable groups. As Americans we need those groups to succeed.In my latest readings, there is some evidence it is.

It no longer applies, but the law in Alabama in the 1950s was that black people had to sit in the back of the bus if white people wanted to sit in the front. Rosa Parks protested that law by refusing to go to the back when asked, and as such began the Civil Rights movement which eventually led to the removal of racist laws.

I can't say that it is.  The 60s were a time of real questioning, and the people who saw that things were wrong, that the government was doing what it shouldn't, took actual strides to make it stop and to make people aware of it.  \n\nToday?  Well, we've got all sorts of civil liberties violations and our government breaking the law, and people are so afraid, so full of fear, that they aren't doing anything.  The largest issue to get people to vote is homosexual marriage.  Without that, the voting stalls would have been ghost towns.  \n\nI wish we had a little of the vim and vigor of that past decade today.

In the South, the economy was based on agriculture, and the chief crop was cotton, which depended heavily on labor to produce it. Slaves were an important source of labor in the farming industries.

Read up on the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the forced integration of southern schools in the sixties, the Emancipation Proclamation, the abolishment of "Jim Crow" laws, and 13th and 14th Amendments to the Constitution.  The Federal Government can, has, and does do things to stop racism and limit the abilities of racists to oppress others.  You can find all of this information at\n\nhttp://www.wikipedia.org

Rosa Parks was very important to the African American Movement.  She marched with Martin Luther King Jr.  Her most popular story is that she refused to giver her seat up in the front of the bus, which was usually reserved for people of white decent.  Becasue she did not give up her seat, she was taken to jail, and the african americans and others who helped them boycotted the busline there.

fugitive slave laws allowed for slaves who escaped to be brought back into slavery even after they made it to the north.\n\nThey made it harder for African Americans to be free and escape slavery.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964, Pub. L. No. 88-352, 78 Stat. 241 (July 2, 1964), in the United States was landmark legislation outlawing discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Originally conceived to protect the rights of black men, the bill was amended prior to passage to protect the civil rights of all men and women.\n\nThe Act transformed American society. It prohibited discrimination in public facilities, in government, and in employment. The "Jim Crow" laws in the South were abolished, and it became illegal to compel segregation of the races in schools, housing, or hiring. Enforcement powers were initially weak, but they grew over the years, and later programs (such as affirmative action) were made possible by the Act.

More differences between people in the North and The South. Formation of KKK. Decrease in racism and the end of slavery. It caused an increase in U.S. Pride and power.

Are you thinking of the writing of the Bill of Rights (1789), or are you thinking of a related story to any one of the 10 Bill of Rights?\n\nJust a suggestion- the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s used the 1st Amendment as a way to protest.  (Rosa Parks and the Montgomery Bus Boycott would be an example!)\n\nI don't know what you mean by patriotic, but I think the people involved in the Civil Rights Movement were certainly inspiring.

the only thing i can think of is the Jim Crow laws\n\nthese were a collection of laws that stopped black people  from doing a lot of things - although it referred more towards segregation and stuff like that.\n\nBut it could easily have been the vehicle barring blacks from voting because  it barred them from doing a lot of other things. The Jim Crow laws were deemed unconstitutional only in 1964.

Slavery had little to do with the Civil War. The prime issue was balance of power between Federal and State. Slavery happened to be the issue that fell along this divide. Could also throw in north-south economic disparacy.

While the immediate effect of the Missouri Compromise was to continue to equality between slave and free states in the Senate (Missouri and Maine), it reserved a vast majority of the area of the Louisiana Purchase into territories where slavery would be barred by federal law, and set the precedent of the northern access of slavery being on a designated parallel. This would have tremendous consequences because of the growing paranoia of slave-holding gentry in the South.\n\nWhen the slave-holding power in the South realized the actual consequences of the agreement, there would be a growing movement to not only marginalize federal power but to then force the acceptance of slavery as an institution into the psyche of people in the North. This would be seen in the Kansas - Nebraska act, in the Fugitive Slave Law, in the Compromise of 1850, etc. Slavery would go from the "Peculiar Institution," (an odd lifestyle but far away and not our business) to a forced acceptance (people in free states are forced through their taxes and law enforcement to help maintain slavery).\n\nThe people in the North had been led to believe that the problem was solved by the Southern acceptance of the Missouri Compromise, then they found they had been lied to and the problem began to get worse.

Former slaves, who were only thought as property and less than human, now were counted as part of the population. And even though many went North after the end of the Civil War, most stayed in the place where they knew. So if there was a plantation, which had over a hundred slaves that were not counted as part of the population before, now were considered part of it. And as you know the House of Representatives gives as many seats out for each state depending on how many people live in the state and not on how big the state is. And more representatives meant more political power in Washington, DC. Don't forget also, that the Southern states after the Civil War were not governed by Southerners, Northerners were put in charge and Reconstruction took place (which was both positive and negitive).
