The reconstruction period and when our country was expanding westward,the government was feeling sidetracked at the time. Many government officials were trying to stop segregation but all the others were trying to rebuild and expand. My first primary source is the segregation of the time that the government was doing nothing about. They were being treated poorly making it demoralize them in every way. My second primary source. is the men serving for the country. African men were serving in the war and helping to serve the country but the government was not helping with the segregation. My third primary source the prohibition of alcohol and people protesting it around the time of the Roaring 20`s. Alcohol was banned and still they are banning something small even though African Americans are still being segregated and the government is doing not a lot about it. My fourth primary source is more alcohol being poured out. The use of alcohol was trying to be stopped but was not it was repealed but segragation was still happening. With my first two sources you saw that people were being segregated. Then in the roaring 20’s men and women that are African Americans are still being segregated. This segregation very tough for the African Americans and it seems much more than what it sounds like but it was about 70 years and they had not helped to stopped segregation.

During the era of reconstruction women had very little say in government. If a woman voted for a representative in congress, the penalty could be jail time and a one hundred dollar fine. this was demonstrated in the court case of the State of New York against Susan B. Anthony. Mrs. Anthony suffered punishment for voting, however she had expected this. Her act was considered known, wrong and unlawful. All women were aware that it was considered unconstitutional to vote or take part in any other activities that involved in the government. Shortly after the Civil War (during reconstruction), a petition was made by the Women’s Loyal National League addressing the Women of the Republic, supporting the abolition of slavery. In this petition it states “Women, you cannot vote or fight for your country. Your only way to be a power in the Government is through the exercise of this, one, sacred, Constitutional ‘Right of Petition;’ and we ask you to use it NOW to the utmost.” This quote shows evidence that women were fighting for rights that now seem simple to us, such as voting. Everything changed for women during World War I and the 1920’s. Once America became involved in the war, all of the men went out to fight and women started to fill in their jobs at factories. They helped with things such as assembly lines. Then in the year 1922, the 19th amendment was finally ratified. Women had finally been given the right to vote. During this era women broke free of the household and were able to find jobs in the outside world, as well as continue their regular household duties; and women could now vote and have a say in the government. All of this shows that the government of The United States has come to recognize all peoples of America rather than just focusing on one group when it comes to government decisions. America’s democracy has increased by great lengths and has come to a point where men and women alike are formally recognized as equals. During the span of time between the Reconstruction Era and the WWI and 1920’s Era, women went from having no say in government and very little rights, to being able to work outside of their household duties and gaining the right to vote just as any male citizen could prior to them. -Guthre
The first two primary sources that I have is a picture of the president of that time and primary sources that have to do with that time. The president in the picture is Andrew Johnson he was a president during the Reconstruction era. The second primary source has different sources from different people with different problems that occurred in that time such as black rights and other things. In my next to primary sources that are those pictures. One of the pictures is a political cartoon during the reconstruction time. And the other one is a document written in showing how unfair it is for blacks. It shows that a black man got put in jail for three years for stealing a bicycle, while a white man got put to jail for three days for stealing automobile. All these are connected because they all have to do with reconstruction. Whilst all are pictures that show that of the time. The pictures were pictures of the presidents that were in that time. And it showed some of the struggles from that time. The documents written are from people that were alive back then and wrote about some of the laws.

My first two primary sources show what life was like for the African Americans during the earlier part of the era. My leading primary source is a page of the Jim Crow laws. These were laws that prohibited the affiliation of blacks and whites, which was punished by very severe methods. My second primary source is the picture of the KKK hanging a black man. During the earlier part of the era, most whites, and all members of the KKK, felt a strong abhorrence towards the colored members of our society. My next two primary sources bring up the picture of a greatly altered society. The 13th Amendment gave blacks the right to vote. This made them feel freer; they finally had a say in some of the matters pertaining to their government. My final primary source is a picture of a black man playing in front of a mix-raced crowd. This was a big step forward; blacks used to get punished for talking to white people, and now they’re on stage performing. Given these four sources, a very clear change is apparent between the eras. The blacks used to be nobodies, unable to do or say almost anything in a world of white people. However, then came documents like the 13th Amendment. Although this did help, everyone knows that actions speak louder than words, and that’s all the 13th Amendment was: words. I think that the bigger break-through happened later on, when the African Americans became jointly active in our society, along with the whites. They could vote, own businesses, converse with whites, and the musicians were respected for the new and fun music that they had brought to Harlem. So, all in all, from the beginning to the end of the era, the lives of African Americans changed greatly, also making America more of the free country she was meant to be.
