Black racism had been prominent for years‚ and even after the slaves were emancipated‚ Jim Crow laws in the South continued to reflect the racist views white Americans had toward black Americans.

To not realize that and take a risky move and put their lives in danger wasn’t very justified; people even died in the rebellion. The taxes also weren’t like the British ones where they were paid to cover a debt and for luxuries for the King. The government did take action after the rebellion.

WAS THE ATOMIC BOMBINGS OF HIROSHIMA AND NAGASAKI JUSTIFIED? A bomb which was equal to 13‚000 tonnes of highly-explosive bombs‚ used to make the Japanese surrender‚ but also killing many lives‚ cannot be justified. When the highly-explosive bombs were dropped in Dresden‚ everyone had thought of this as very affective. But imagine how bad the atomic bomb would be‚ which could destroy a city only just by its radiation‚ let alone the actual explosion. President Truman of America made a decision of
