in what order did the election of 1860 civil war Dredd Scott court case founding of freedmen's bureau Georgia secedes from the union the removal of black legislators in Georgia general assembly during reconstruction happen?
The order of these events is as follows:
1. Dred Scott court case (1857): The Supreme Court of the United States delivered a ruling that denied citizenship and constitutional rights to enslaved and free African Americans, aggravating tensions between Northern abolitionists and Southern states. This decision deeply influenced the growing tensions leading up to the Civil War.
2. Election of 1860: In November 1860, Abraham Lincoln, the Republican candidate, won the presidential election. The event heightened the fears of the southern states, as Lincoln's anti-slavery stance led to several of them considering secession from the United States.
3. Georgia secedes from the Union (January 19, 1861): Georgia officially became the fifth state to secede from the Union, following South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, and Alabama. This event marked a significant step towards the formation of the Confederate States of America.
4. Formation of the Freedmen's Bureau (March 1865): After the end of the Civil War, the U.S. Congress established the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands, commonly known as the Freedmen's Bureau. Its purpose was to provide assistance and support to millions of newly freed African Americans and White refugees in the South, playing a vital role during the Reconstruction era.
5. Removal of Black Legislators in Georgia General Assembly during Reconstruction (1868-1872): During the period of Reconstruction (1865-1877), following the Civil War, African Americans were given the right to vote and hold political offices. In Georgia, Black legislators were elected to the General Assembly during this time, but their presence was met with hostility. Over time, a combination of violence, intimidation, and legislative measures led to the expulsion and removal of Black legislators from the Georgia General Assembly between 1868 and 1872.
It is important to note that these events occurred over several years and were part of a broader historical context, each influencing and impacting the others.
