Rugged individualism

poverty

 Didn’t regulate working hours, minimum wages, loans, businesses
(child labour)

 Immigration restriction- 1921 emergency quota act (3%)

The red scare

party)

bombed by an anarchist

The great depression

 Bonus army episode

 Hawley smoot tariff (40%) exports

 RFC

How far do you agree that the impact of the northern migration
(1917- 32) can only be considered in terms of the migrants
themselves and the cities they move to? (20 marks)

Nothern migrants

 Significant political influence- mayor for Chicago 1919 listened to
black people

 Segregation meant more black people got in power as a black
American campaigning in a black ward would get the whole of the
black vote

 Segregation communities with their own facilities

Southern migrants

 The labour force shrank- harder work for less people

 Poorer farmers suffered the most economically and most were black

 Thought that the black people that stayed were excepting of the Jim
crow laws

White people

 Black migrants dislodged white workers campaigning for better
conditions

 Businesses put pressure on white workers to leave unions or lose
their jobs

How accurate is it to say that black Americans suffered just as
much discrimination in the North and West as in the south 1917-
1932?
