Civil Rights Act (1964)
Voting Rights Act (1965)
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 were two significant laws passed by Congress in the 1960s that aimed to end discrimination based on race and ensure equal voting rights for all citizens.
The Fugitive Slave Act was passed in 1850 as part of the Compromise of 1850. It required that escaped slaves be returned to their owners, even if they were in free states. This law was highly controversial and fueled tensions between abolitionists and supporters of slavery.
The Intolerable Acts, passed in 1774, included closing the port of Boston, restricting town meetings, allowing British officials to be tried elsewhere for crimes in the colonies, and expanding the Quartering Act to allow British troops to be quartered in private homes.
Two students want to attend the science fair. Both have straight A's in science. Both work hard. However, one is a new immigrant from Vietnam and speaks broken English. The other student was raised locally and is popular in the small town. Teachers construct a story as to why the Vietnamese student cannot attend the fair. However, the story is untrue; the teachers just tried to find a loophole to disqualify him so the other student could attend. That is a subtle form of discrimination. It relies on hoping the other person does not know or recognize the deception. Both students should go. Or a fair way should be used to decide who can go.
Southern states passed Black Codes, which were laws specifically designed to restrict the rights and freedom of African Americans. These codes aimed to regulate the behavior and movement of former slaves and control their labor opportunities.
