If any are wrong, please let me know and help me. I just need them to be checked. Thank you!
I agree with all of your answers. :-)
Gee. I guess I must find out who this Thoreau is and read whatever it is he wrote. What band did he play with?
You are correct on #6. "Civil disobedience" does mean protesting unjust laws. Thoreau advocates peaceful protest, but the protest he advocates is against laws that seem unjust or immoral, etc.
thank you all!
1. The image of the early-1900s women's suffrage painting with the sign "official program women's suffrage procession" and a person riding a horse in Washington D.C. on March 3, 1913 would convey that the suffrage movement was a noble cause. The image shows women actively participating in a procession advocating for their right to vote, suggesting that they were committed to fighting for their rights.
2. The details from the poster that suggest giving women the right to vote will destroy home life are the broken plate, the screaming children, and the boiling tea kettle. These details imply chaos and a lack of stability in the household, possibly indicating that if women were empowered with the right to vote, traditional gender roles would be disrupted and the family unit as it was known at the time would suffer.
3. The sentence that corrects a historical inaccuracy in the passage is: "Slaves often did not have enough food to eat, which left them in poor health." This sentence acknowledges the harsh reality that many slaves faced, including inadequate and insufficient nourishment, leading to poor health conditions.
4. The Second Great Awakening was important to slaves’ religious beliefs because it allowed many slaves to convert to Christianity because owners felt that converting would make slaves more obedient. As a result of the religious revival of the Second Great Awakening, slave owners encouraged and supported the religious conversion of slaves, believing that it would pacify them and make them more submissive.
5. Many Transcendentalists believed that study and self-reflection would reveal better answers than science. Transcendentalists emphasized individual intuition and personal experience as a means to tap into a higher truth or spiritual understanding. They believed that by reflecting on oneself and studying nature, individuals could gain deeper insights and revelations.
6. Henry David Thoreau’s idea of civil disobedience can be best explained as "If a law goes against morality then citizens should protest it peacefully." Thoreau believed that individuals had a moral obligation to resist unjust laws and that engaging in peaceful acts of civil disobedience, such as nonviolent protests, was a way to express dissent and bring about social change.
7. The Transcendentalist idea that had the most direct impact on the civil rights movement of the 20th century was "people should peacefully protest unjust laws." This idea aligns with the nonviolent methods employed by civil rights activists like Martin Luther King Jr. during the movement. The philosophy of nonviolent resistance was influenced by the teachings of figures such as Thoreau and Mahatma Gandhi, who inspired civil rights leaders to pursue their cause peacefully.
8. Harriet Beecher Stowe's "Uncle Tom's Cabin" supported reform efforts by stirring outrage against slavery. The novel depicted the harsh realities of slavery and the inhumane treatment of enslaved individuals, which evoked strong emotional responses from readers. The book played a significant role in raising awareness about the issue of slavery, galvanizing support for the abolitionist movement, and influencing public opinion. However, it should be noted that "Uncle Tom's Cabin" did not directly address women's rights, the idea of free public education, or the housing crisis.
Thoreau supported in writing John Brown in has violent actions at Harpers Ferry, which was hardly peaceful. In his essay Civil Disobedience, I find zero references to only peaceful resistance...but references to any means necessary. One should read the essay itself. Thoreau is good reading.
Well, on 6 I disagree. However, others might agree. There has been in my lifetime a change in the connotation of the word "civil". However, in my understanding of Thoreau, "civil" does not mean peaceful, it meant government. You can do your own reading of the essay.
Now on 7, I agree it is the best answer, and there should have been a better answer.
