The Supreme Court's decisions in the late 19th and early 20th centuries often undermined the civil rights gains Black Americans had achieved during Reconstruction.
Example: The Plessy v. Ferguson case in 1896 legalized segregation through the "separate but equal" doctrine, paving the way for widespread Jim Crow laws.
Another significant case was Williams v. Mississippi, where the Court ruled that Mississippi's voting requirements, including literacy tests and poll taxes, were not discriminatory, despite their disproportionate impact on Black voters.
Quote: "Mississippi unconstitutionally excluded black americans from voting, ruled that Mississippi not discriminatory when required voters to pass literacy tests and pay poll taxes."
These rulings had a widespread effect, allowing states to systematically undermine the rights Black Americans had gained during Reconstruction.
Highlight: The Supreme Court's decisions provided legal justification for discriminatory practices, making it more difficult for Black Americans to challenge their loss of rights through the judicial system.
White supremacy groups and local officials employed various tactics to suppress Black voting rights and maintain racial segregation in the South.
Example: In 1887, over 30 Black sugarcane workers in Louisiana were shot dead during a strike for fair wages, illustrating the violent suppression of African American economic and civil rights activism.
Voter suppression methods included:
Vocabulary: Grandfather clause - A legal provision that allowed individuals to vote without passing literacy tests or paying poll taxes if their ancestors had the right to vote before the Civil War, effectively disenfranchising many Black voters.
These tactics were widespread throughout the South and effectively prevented many Black Americans from exercising their right to vote, thus undermining the political gains they had made during Reconstruction.
Highlight: The combination of legal barriers and extralegal intimidation created a system of disenfranchisement that persisted for decades, significantly impacting the civil rights of African Americans.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better. It is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helpful to anyone struggling in absolutely any way.

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didn’t even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as I’m sure you too will see developments.
