Why was the caucus replaced by the convention as a nominating device?
Background: The presidential election of 1828 has been called the 'rise of the common man' election. The election was also nicknamed the 'Revolution of 1828'. It was a revolution that was in response to the 'Corrupt Bargain' of 1824 election when Jackson lost his bid for presidency when no candidate got a majority of the electoral votes. Reason: Replacing Caucuses (held in private) with Conventions was more democratic. This was a response by the people as an upwelling of support arose against 'back room deals' and candidates chosen by caucus without enough public input. Significance: Andrew Jackson was the first president not born of privilege. The election was the first time that individuals began to fight against corruption in politics.

What was it like Being black in the early 1900's in America?
Very hard. It had only been 67 years since they were given citizenship after the Civil War. Many were former slaves and had lived through the Civil War. Discrimination was still very much around. Black children couldn't go to the same schools as white, couldn't go to the public swimming pool, or to play in playgrounds. Adults couldn't eat in the same places as white nor still not vote in elections ( there were laws passed to prevent them from voting). Most Black residents of a city/town were forced to live in a separate section of the city/town ( along with other ethnic groups). Jobs were also hard to come by beyond a certain level and getting into a college was impossible for a black young man ( a woman wouldn't have a chance to enroll). There were no heads of major businesses that were black and a few business owners.
