This is why we changed your topic from The Knights to "The Compromise of 1877." The Knights are an IMPORTANT PART of the major conflict and compromise of this time period. So, what I want you to do is EXPAND your research so that you see how the Knights played an important part in forcing the compromise that ultimately took away rights from African-Americans after Reconstruction.
Yugoslavia was a country up until 1992. It was a multi-ethnic and multi religious country with Slavic people, Turkish people, Arab people, etc. It also had CHristians and Muslims. Before 1992, there were TWO things that kept the country together 1.) A "Strongman" named Joseph Tito. If someone wanted to declare "holy war" against Muslims or "jihad" against Christians, Tito simply had the military kill those people. Also, The Soviet Union (communist world) had Yugoslavia as an ally. In a very short period, Tito died and The Soviet Union collapsed. When that happened, all the strong punishments against religious and ethnic violence disappeared. So, those ethnic and religious fights (especially Chistians vs. Muslims and Slavic Serbians vs. Arab descended Bosnians) popped up again and lead to a Civil War. YOU must study the conflict between the Bosnians and Serbians and how that lead to the Civil War, the genocide against Muslim Bosnians, and - eventually - America's intervention and The Dayton Accords.
Think about this...Daesh (ISIS) didn't get in trouble for all the terrible things they did because their ultimate goal was to control the government. SO, if you control the government, then who's going to arrest them? It's the same idea with The Knights/White League/KKK. Their goal was to take all power away from the black population and put them back into quasi slavery because that's how they wanted society to operate. So, they operated under the philosophy of "achieve your political objectives by ANY MEANS NECESSARY" (just like D.A.E.S.H.). When you get to the Compromise of 1877, you will see that they were successful. All of that intimidation, terrorism, cheating in elections, and murder actually worked! The Federal Government gave up on Reconstruction and pulled out all of the federal troops from Louisiana (and the rest of the South). People like Governor Nicholls and Arcibalades DeBlanc ended up in charge, so any White League or KKK people who murdered people at The Battle of Liberty Place simply were NEVER CHARGED with any crimes!
The Knights never got in trouble - despite being allied with The KKK and advocating terrorism - because the ex-Confederates who eventually became The "Bourbon" Democrats were born into a society of "white supremacy" in which they were taught that African people were inferior or even not fully human. So, when they saw Reconstruction and The Republicans efforts to change their society, they saw this as an egregious assault on their customs, history and culture. So, they figured that they needed to fight against equality with black Americans by ANY means necessary. In order to fully see how they didn't get in trouble, look at the ACTUAL Compromise of 1877. And then think about this question, if the federal government and federal, US Army was leaving the South, do you think that the State Army (Militia) of Louisiana would stick up for the rights of the freedmen? Or do you think that it was likely that the federal government and army would "turn a blind eye" to all the terrorism, etc?
The Compromise happened because America and Mexico reached a point in which, litiarily, Mexico could not defeat America. Study that ACTUAL battles in the war and you will understand why Mexico had to make that compromise - even though it meant that they would have to cede a lot of territory.
Look here - http://www.worldhistory.biz/modern-history/86787-enforcement-acts-1870-1871.html. It made the Knights upset. Again, remember, they were brought up in a society that taught them that African descended people (especially the people who were slaves only a few years earlier) were "inferior" and "less than human." When the federal government (COngress and The US Senate) passed this, it turned them, The KKK, etc. into the bad actors that you know them as who were responsible for terrorism and the Riot of 1875 and The "Battle" of Liberty Place.
Ultimately, back in the day...ALL profit was made by growing cash crops (tobacco, sugar, indigo, cotton, etc.) or mineral resources (iron, coal, gold, copper, silver, etc.). Europe was crowded and the borders were set. However, in the "New" World, after Colombus, there was all this unexplored territory. Whoever got their first, put down their flag, "Claimed" the land for their king, etc. then set their country up to get more cash crops and mineral resources and become wealthier. Think of how "mercantilism" worked. More resources = more profit and power. So, that's why they were fighting for Louisiana and The Ohio River Valley.
The main thing you need to look at is BEFORE Andrew Jackson, what did the Creoles and Anglos do to make friends. THEN, read specifically look into how he convinced all the different ethnicities to fight alongside each other when it was late 1814 and early 15 and the actual battle was about to happen. :)
Remember, your "compromise" will be all the formal treaties and little things that were agreed upon by the Creoles and Anglos (especially in New Orleans) in the years leading up to the battle (1803 - 1814). SO, had those compromises never happened, then you can guess that the Creoles would not have been excited about fighting for America. But, somehow, someway, we made that "melting pot" happen in 1803-1814. You should research that and then for your last three or four paragraphs, talk about what happened in the battle and how Anglos and Creoles fought alongside each other as hermanos! Cool?
So, I suggest you a.) read about Alcibiades DeBlanc. His life's history is a good explanation of what prominent politicians did during that time period. Remember, the Knights were more concerned about regaining political control. They wanted the Republican Party gone and The Democratic Party in (Sidenote, this is the "Bourbon" Democratic Party of the 19th century, not the modern Democratic Party). B. After the election, the Knights sort of went away. Most seemed to have joined something called the "Crescent City White League. So, you need to research that group. All of this political fighting and terrorism (remember, the KKK and White League were using the same tactics as Daesh - الدولة الإسلامية) leads to political violence in 1874 in Louisiana and New Orleans. Then, that violence leads to The Battle of Liberty Place. And all of that then spills over into the next election of 1876 (for president). At that time, your guys topic will FINALLY arrive at the Compromise of 1877. And remember, your compromise is not ultimately a good compromise.
Michael! I'm sorry. I missed this. The elections of 1868 were bad in Louisiana. There was a "contested" outcome and that "sets the stage" for even greater political violence in 1874 when you have the White League and KKK actually using violence to intimidate people. You should probably start here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Louisiana_elections,_1868
Go onto the blog. Find the links that I put on there. Read the information about the links (have a dictionary with you!) and then start compiling your facts.
Samanthat, how are you girls doing? I got the other book in the mail today. Ask your mom, dad, grandma or aunts/uncles if they would like me to drop it off with them. I'm hoping you all have gotten to work on it!

Slave States would want to count their slaves a a ful person because 1 is more than 0 or 3/5. So, if they counted them as 1 person, then they would get WAY more representation in Congress. More representation = more votes. More votes = louder "voice" when writing laws. Louder "voice" when writing laws = more POWER. Comprende?
No problem Victor! Just get cracking on your research. Get those index cards full of relelvant facts, touch base with your group members, and get 'er done!
It's the plan that SMALL states favored at the Constitutional Convention that would ensure that each body of Congress would have the SAME number of votes for each state. That way, the most populated states (Virginia, Massachusetts, etc.) wouldn't just drown out small states like New Jersey and Delaware.
Hi mr.gibbson this is Miguel I need some directions about what to do with my project can you help me find some websites I need to do 15 paragraphs by one day I have to finish this two days in order to finish and start my other project thank you
I think you're freaking out a bit. You only need to write 3 or 4 paragraphs about the CONFLICT between federalists and anti-federalists. Then, write a paragraph about how they came to decide to make the "Massachusetts COMPROMISE." Then, spend a paragraph explaining how The Bill of Rights works. Then, explain how that satisfied anti-federalists and alleviated their concerns.You're just going to have to look at those sources and break it down.
At the end of your personal research, I suggest that you get with Alexis and Jesus and tie it all together with an intro paragraph, a conclusion paragraph and some sort of paragraph that connects how the three conflicts (1. big vs. small states. 2. slave vs. free states. and 3. federalists vs. anti-federalists) were all solved by three big COMPROMISES and that - essentially - those compromises are the heart of what our Constitution is about.
If you guys can get that done, you're in terrific shape. Then, we can work on maybe some creative ways of explaining your topic to the class. Maybe you guys can do a dramatic re-enactment or something and you can have Jesus goof around while explaining how the compromises worked.
The bill of rights is a document from the United States that supports the constitution. The bill or rights comprises the first ten amendments of the United States constitution. It contains rights to give people freedom, religion, and etc. Each state carries its own laws, if the House of Representatives accept it or they eliminate the law for the state. People should follow the first 10 amendments to in order to be save in their society.
I haven't seen anything from Jesus. I'm hoping he did his part, too. Why don't you text him and tell him I'm expecting him to have 3 or 4 paragraphs written by tomorrow. Cool?
That's a good summary of WHAT the Bill of Rights is. You are also going to need to study the debate between teh federalists (NOT the political party) and the anti-federalists. The big arguments were Federalists saying either a. "The Constitution does a good enough job of protecting liberties as it is." or b.) "Look at Shay's Rebellion! We need to focus on having a stronger government instead of worrying about protecting people's liberties." Remember, the Bill of Rights is NOT a part of The Constitution. It is just the first 10 Amendments. Does that help?
Right. Sorry. Did I say otherwise? There was 1866 Masacre (http://www.blackpast.org/aah/new-orleans-massacre-1866) and (http://chnm.gmu.edu/courses/122/carr/riottext.html), an 1868 Riot (https://www.jstor.org/stable/4231869) and then The "Battle" of Liberty Place (http://neworleanshistorical.org/tours/show/8)
Those three incidents are the heart of your CONFLICT. On one side are Radical Republicans, carpet baggers, freedmen and the free people of color. They all aligned with The Lincoln Republican Party and the FEDERAL Government. On the other side are ex-Confederates, "Bourbon" Democrats, and The Knights, KKK, and Crescent City White League. The COMPROMISE is going to, ultimately, be the Compromise of 1877. In that compromise, the Radical Republicans and African American people are going to be basically cut out and the "moderate" Republicans (lead by Rutherford B Hayes) are going to strike a deal with the Democrats where Reconstruction ends and - with that - there is NO protection for African Americans anymore.
Here's a hint...think back to when we discussed The Civil Rights Movement. The State Executive (Governor) of Arkansas (Faubus), did everything he could to prevent integration at Little Rock Central High School. Right? President Eisenhower sent in FEDERAL troops to do it. So, during that incident, the President sent in FEDERAL troop (i.e. the U.S. Army) to a high school to enforce FEDERAL law. Remember, federal law is ALWAYS superior to state law. The Southern Governors always tried to argue that they had "State's Rights" and during Reconstruction all the way to the end of The Civli Rights Movement, that was their legal argument..."We as states have the right to run our own "moral sphere." What that meant, to them, was they literally felt that since African Americans were "bad," then the most moral thing they could do was segregate and discriminate and not prosecute murderers and terrorists in the KK who terrorized black Southerners or anyone who tried to help black people in the South. During Reconstruction, the FEDERAL Army was sent into New Orleans to try and stop the violence and terrorism. It was basically like Mission Impossible. many of the Ex-Confederates literally felt that their black neighbors were "evil" and "less than human," so that - to them - justified terrorism, the KKK, The White League, and The Knights of White Camellia. I hope that helps.
Hi Cinthia, they this. It's a hard read, but it will help you. It speaks also to Jackson's effort to create a mini-COMPROMISE between Jean Lafitte (a pirate) and Governor Claiborne (our first governor). Once the two of them were allied against he British, that helped Jackson BIG TIME. So, that should definitely help you. Read what I wrote to genesis as well. How's it going? See you tomorrow!
Yes, "Free People of Color" were generally people who immigrated from Haiti after Toussaint L'Ouverture's rebellion. They built the neighborhood called "Treme" in Orleans Parish. They were generally mixed between African and French. During the War of 1812, they were crucial for the defense of New Orleans.

Hey Mr. Gibson I somehow can’t find the answer to #8. It says “Why is this topic important in history?”, I don’t know if the soccer war is even that important in history. If my question can’t be answered, that’s fine I’ll keep researching.
Every two years the US FEDERAL GOVERNMENT must have elections for Congress. So, they had to have the elections even though they knew that Louisiana had all the violence going on.

DeleteHey Mr. Gibson Do you Know who were the Free people of Color and creole Militia?
ReplyDeleteYes, "Free People of Color" were generally people who immigrated from Haiti after Toussaint L'Ouverture's rebellion. They built the neighborhood called "Treme" in Orleans Parish. They were generally mixed between African and French. During the War of 1812, they were crucial for the defense of New Orleans.

Hey Mr. Gibson I somehow can’t find the answer to #8. It says “Why is this topic important in history?”, I don’t know if the soccer war is even that important in history. If my question can’t be answered, that’s fine I’ll keep researching.

ReplyDeletewhy they did the elections of 1866??
ReplyDeleteEvery two years the US FEDERAL GOVERNMENT must have elections for Congress. So, they had to have the elections even though they knew that Louisiana had all the violence going on.
