Gun Violence's Role In The Civil Rights Movement

Gun violence in the past is different from gun violence in the new millennium. Gun violence in the past was mostly between the civilians not liking the law. There are events such as the Civil Rights Movement, the shooting of presidents Lincoln and Kennedy, and more. Gun violence in the civil rights movements was due to people not accepting change in the way African Americans are being treated. At this time African Americans were known to be slaves or property. So many people despised them so much that they didn’t want to serve them any food. As for the shooting of presidents many people disagreed of Lincoln’s support of banning slavery. Also guns played a very big role in the war. During the war, the US used guns not only for protection
but also as a trade item. English men traded guns for pelted fur. In the past, guns played a symbol as power; the bigger the armory was, the more stronger your army became and the stronger your army, the more powerful the Country. That explains why the Great Britain, US, and Russia was the big three.
