What do you think would have happened if slavery ended sooner?

Question

Like we would have never have known about Martin Luther King. Stuff like that

Answer 1

That part is called civil rights slavery ended after the civil war.

Answer 2

Actually slavery has not ended for all peoples. The blacks are freer but not equal. Women are still shackled to their chains under the infamous glass ceiling. Minorities are, and always will be, suppressed by those who have. Power, another name for rights to choose, will never be achieved or stopped from our spreading it to the rest of the world. Essentially greed caused suppression of others and will not stop ever.

Answer 3

   Someone you may of never heard of was Paul Robeson. He was truly a great person working for civil rights. But the Government shut him down and basically tried to erase him from history. This man spoke over 13 languages, was the first African American to play College football and make All American. He was the top of his class. He was valedictorian and had a law degree. He was an accomplished actor and singer. His albums at the time where the most sold to the point 1 out of 4 records sold where his. But none of us have ever heard about him in history class.  

   The one thing that really help the civil rights movement was TV. When the northerners saw on prim time TV the government beating women and young children for marching in Selma, Alabama. That awakened the north. When the busing of black school children was seen on TV it forced more people to look into themselves to do something instead of not knowing about the problem.

   What Martin Luther King brought to the table was he was a powerful speaker and preached nonviolence protests. When the local governments reacted with violence it made more people sympathetic to the cause.

    The images are what allowed many people to see what was wrong at the time.      

Answer 4

All that civil rights stuff would of just happened earlier and racial sensitvity would be like how it will be in the future which im guessing is less. Nothing else special would be different all the same things would of happened just sooner and MLK would not exist but I know there would of been a figure like him

Answer 5

America would be in an even worse state than it is now.

I don't know if it is the majority of Americans, and I know things are different in liberal states like New York, but it seems everyone I speak to has the same underlying beliefs but is scared to say it out loud.

It is just wrong for a black man to be anywhere other than beneath the white man. And if my experience is anything to go by there are MILLIONS of Americans who think the same as me.

I don't want a black running my country any more than I want my pet dog running my household.

Answer 6

Maybe illegal immigration would have grown faster.

Answer 7

Nah, It'd be the same c**p. Martin Luther King was a good man, compared to some of the c**p that has happened. Gangs, rampant violence, rap music that reflects both of those things and desensitizes you to them, I could go on and on.

Answer 8

WHEN DID SLAVERY END......???

when exxon makes 50 billion and we are living paycheck to paycheck.......paying 30% of our small wages to fund wars watching the politicions get rich and live in mansions....

WE ARE ALL  SLAVES....

Answer 9

Slavery Still exsists in many parts of the world and affects Women and girls!  It  It is underground in the United States. On the surface in the United States and outright slavery, there may not have been any Women's sufferage and neither would have been able to Vote or own property because of race and gender.  Many people do not know about Ida. B. Wells or her achievements in this area.  Women would hae have the Vote much sooner, if they had disregarded  the race issues of the time.   It is still prevalent, in today's society.  

After the Civil War there were more black legislators than previous to it.  The Civil Rights Movement would never have taken place.  I still don't think that many people of Color or Women appreciate their heritage that was fought for.

If American People of Color and women, are not careful, there are still those who would stip us of Civil Rights and Affirmative action, claiming equality and equity have already been achieved. Equality will only be achieved when the glass ceiling is broken in education, the workplace, in medicine and society.
