    Convict Leasing In The Early 1900's

    While also maintaining their agrarian status, they were able to do so through convict leasing. What convict leasing allowed the South to do was maintain free labor to citizens while not violating the new slavery laws and creating a new penal system that was cost efficient. Farmers were able to continue having a work force to uphold their land and keep production going. Slaves were freed, in which most either migrated north or became criminals because of their lack of knowledge about the free world. This eventually got them into many a predicament. The majority of slaves that did not become convicts ended up working for their previous owner. Sharecropping also became popular as a contrary to convict leasing. Ex-slaves would care for and live off of a certain amount of the land lord's crops. In return they would give the land lord a measurement of the crops as payment. This system still gave whites the superiority of the mainly black ex-slave population. Another goal of the South was to not let the new population of freed slaves to become of equal social status as the public. Land lords often created a system where the ex-slave would have to give them so much of the crops grown to pay for essential needs, for example clothing or books. The unfortunate situation was that the share croppers never made enough profit to sustain themselves and once again ended upon the street and/or in debt. This resulted in a higher possibility of them becoming…

    Gilded Age Research Paper

    There was an overwhelming amount of people coming from across the pond to look for work in hope for the American dream. While in reality very few found it and the rest were living well below the poverty level. The previous United States also welcomed immigrants but the usual immigrants were skilled workers from England, Ireland, and Germany. The economy of the United States changed from agricultural farming to industrial and manufacturing by mass producing. The average citizen earned a wage and bought all of their necessities at the store pre-prepared. In the previous state of America an average citizen would farm and make most of their own goods. Everything in the Gilded Age was mass produced, food was canned, medicine was bottled, everything was created ready to use. People bought goods at general stores, specialty shoppes were less abundant and everything was found in one place. The Gilded Age was an era of big business with monopolies controlling everything and basking in wealth and leaving the average citizen to squander in their…

    African Americans During Reconstruction Essay

    Several freedmen in South Carolina stand in line to vote for the first time. They wait, but when they reach the front, they are given a literacy test which they have to pass in order to vote. Voting was just one of the many rights the south denied freedmen during reconstruction. Many laws and amendments were created to make life fair for African Americans. However very few of these changes were respected in the south. Based on most of the documents and additional information from outside sources, very little change took place in the life of a freedman.…

    Race and Revolution/to Make Our World Anew -- Research Paper

    The most successful means of damaging slave agency was through written appeals and petitions. Several African Americans submitted such documents to Congress, newspapers and other narrations. These documents include Caesar Sarter’s Essay on Slavery; a petition of New England slaves, Peter Bestes, Sambo Freeman, Felix Holbrook and Chester Joie written to the Governor of Massachusetts, Thomas Hutchinson, and the General Court of Boston; a letter from Benjamin Banneker to Thomas Jefferson, then the sitting Secretary of State of Virginia; Absalom Jones and Richard Allen’s A Narrative of the Proceedings of the Black People, During the Late Awful Calamity in Philadelphia, in the year 1793 and Absalom Jones’ petition to the President, Senate and House of Representatives on January 23, 1797, which was signed by Jacob Nicholson, Jupiter Nicholson, Job Albert and Thomas Pritchet; Letters from a Man of Colour on a Late Bill Before the Senate of Pennsylvania, 1813, written by James Forten; and George Lawrence’s An Oration on the Abolition of the Slave Trade, 1813. (Nash 2001, 167-201). Meanwhile, David Walker’s Appeal asked the blacks to take an eye for an eye. (Kelley and Lewis 2005, 216). Martin Delany published a book in 1852 which he titled The Condition, Elevation, Emigration, and Destiny of the Colored People of the United States. In his book, Delany urged the African American population to consider emigrating to South or Central America or even to the unpopulated American west. (Kelley and Lewis 2005, 217).…

    Immigrants During The Gilded Age

    Gilded Age Essay

    Externally, the Gilded age appears shiny and golden, but once the sheen wore off, the tarnished, worn material is revealed. Amidst the Gilded age, businesses used the newly expanding economy to prosper, but at the cost of thousands of immigrants slaving daily in inhumane conditions. With the increase in disturbing treatment of the blue collar worker and a lack of regulations it seemed as if no end was in sight for workers. Fed up and running out of hope, a movement emerged from the smoke. Many took notice, some took action, but few were effective in evoking a meaningful change. Though labor unions, railroad strikes, and factory reforms made a valiant effort to initiate a meaningful change, it proved to be ineffective at reforming the labor…
