Title: Plessy v. Ferguson and the Legacy of Jim Crow: The struggles of equality.
Introduction
This research project will investigate Plessy v. Ferguson and the Legacy of Jim Crow, a historical Supreme Court case that has had a profound impact on African American rights and equality struggles in America. This study will looks at how Plessy’s legal precedent informed segregation policies enacted under Jim Crow laws to understand the systematic obstructions faced by African Americans towards achieving full citizenship and civil rights. Furthermore, it aims at considering any protests or acts by colored people themselves or their groups against wrongs perpetrated through Plessy and Jim Crow, focusing on their role in the wider racial justice movement. Finally, this research will give an insight into black history which can be very relevant to social justice issues today as well as problems of equity
Research Questions:
What were the circumstances surrounding the Plessy v. Ferguson case and what were the  legal consequences for African American rights in the United States?
How did the phrase “separate but equal” created by Plessy v. Ferguson help to institutionalize segregation and discrimination under Jim Crow laws?
What actions did African Americans take to combat segregation after the Plessy v. Ferguson verdict even though there were Jim Crow laws?
What were some of the political motivations behind this court’s decision that made them come into a conclusion like that and what were racial attitudes like at that time?
What are some long term legacies of plessy v ferguson as well as jim crow on african american civil rights movement/struggle for racial equality in america?

Smith’s monograph provides a detailed examination of Jim Crow laws in Virginia with a focus on statewide implementation thus presenting a representative ethnographic study on how segregation impacted upon black communities generally.The book is based on Smith’s archival research delineating tactics used by white supremacists to maintain racial hierarchy and control in the South under Jim Crow.

Derek Pinchbeck examines the intricate relationship between the Black Civil Rights Movements and the federal government of the United States. He looks at how this connection occurs in cycles, with civil rights progressions typically coinciding with changes in federal legislation. Pinchbeck also explores the dynamic linkages between grassroots activism, rulings in a court of law as well as legislative measures, by doing broad research based on historical data, legal cases and policy improvements. This thesis provides fresh ideas about complicated powers sustaining race equality struggle in America and a comprehensive evaluation of the Federal Government’s response towards addressing Civil Rights issues.

This article talks about the endless consequences of segregation which were established in acts like those made in Plessy v. Ferguson. It analyzes how historical practices of segregation have changed to form part of modern concerns on residential separation and injustice. Due to her study on continuous American spatial segregation, she shed light upon Jim Crow laws’ long-lastingness and their effect on African Americans’ lives.

The historian Henry Adams, looking backward from the vantage point of the end of the 19th century claimed that:
It will seem a small thing, 300 hundred years hence, to have invented a government without kings or aristocracy. The future will merely inquire, “What improvements did we make to the art of living in society?”
How would you apply Adams’ criterion for a significant society to the period 1848 – 1877 in the United States?  
What are your ideas about the meaning of American history during the generation of civil war and reconstruction? 
You may wish to emphasize the Reconstruction period, or you may wish to consider the period as a single whole generation

Research questions: 
How was the supply and demand for products different before and after the war?
How did Japan recover economically and become a leading global producer?
After the United States entered the war, what were the economic effects? 
My professor told me to answer the third question in my thesis. 

Ignore comments part but follow all other instructions. We have been discussing the French Revolution including the Reign of terror so you can relate that in the conclusion.

For this assignment, you will select a unique society (i.e., the cultural groups, national groups, and/or political groups) or religion. Once a society or religion is chosen, you will prepare a booklet comparing three customs, values, and beliefs that are shared across the societies/religions you selected.
The booklet should include the following components:
Define the custom, value, or belief.
Compare and contrast the custom, value, and/or belief across two (or three) societies/religions.
Show how the custom, value, and/or belief influenced your selected societies/religions.
Provide three to five appropriately cited and referenced primary sources (in this case, documents created by the selected societies/religions to illustrate the concepts). The reference list must be included at the end of your booklet or at the end of your video.
