Ransom Roger (1989).Causes, Costs, and Effects: The Economics of the United States Civil War. 098.
The Civil War was considered as the "second revolution" that transformed the U.S. into an industrial society that fueled the concept of the American dream?
The above source by Ransom depicts that after the American Civil war, the government led by economists and lawyers developed strategies of capitalizing on the marginalized populations. These whites' superior positions refer to such a period as the second American Revolution. The Republicans used this opportunity to manipulate the law towards driving their political interests. As a result, they established the issue of slavery in which the indigenous American populations would treat the immigrants as their property. They submitted them to forced labor in the vast plantation farms, especially in sugar, tobacco, and cotton farms. According to the Ransom, three developments emerged from there processes, namely the invention of the processing factory, cotton textile, and the purchasing of the; Louisiana Purchase. These three issues changed the American status from a struggling to a global exporter of the agricultural products. Addressing the issue of slavery became a challenge in the later years, thus leading to the constant push for legal transformation. Although the majority of the government officials wanted to continue with the law that dehumanized the American immigrant, others saw the need to review the code and treat them as humans and not property. The immigrants used strategic approaches against the federal government, and their effort led to the American Dream. This situation resulted in collective but limited optimization of opportunities and resources towards sparking economic development.
Ransom’s study is relevant to this research because it helps to trace the experience American immigrants faced before and during the American civil war. In this regard, it validates the fact that Black Americans have come a long way to their present state of producing the first American President. They have battled with economic capitalism, social stratification, and political isolation towards limiting their position in society. The Black American society has from the past experienced the hostile site of the American law, which serves the interests of a few wealthy and influential persons, thus looking down against them. Despite the push for constitutional amendments to address this issue, there was reluctance in the implementation of the same. The author could use this literature to identify the significance of Black Americans to the American economy and how their struggle has shaped the country’s legal structure and diversity.
Barners Craig (2008). The Civil War, a Second Revolution of the United States: Good Men and Desperate Periods are Ripe for Change Address
The review of Barner's journal demands that people explore the revolution in terms of the gains and the losses. This episode prevailed during the reign of Lincoln and Roosevelt. The author stresses that the primary objective of applying capitalism was to create a free market towards constructing the norms and ethical elements in the business environment. This situation ruined the trust between the selfish powerful and those at the lower level of the economy. The contemporary market showed rare patterns in which the top business nations have contradicting ideologies. Although capitalism has its strengths, it equally associates with significant weaknesses, especially bearing in mind that it almost threatened to tear the United States into two sections. This concept led to chaotic scenarios among the post-revolution Americans, and as they say, history repeats itself. According to Barner, the majority of the United States elites believe that militarizing foreign policies would prevent terrorism in the Middle East and the Far East. As a result, they are concentrating on preventing some nations from trading instead of solving life-threatening factors of global warming.
Barner contributes to our study by exploring how the American government and its vital interests have, from the past, used the legal structures to manipulate the poor and marginalized. Indeed, these entities have from the past oppressed the Black Americans through forced labor, heavy taxation, and other unhealthy conditions that sparked the struggle to break free. Despite numerous legal amendments, the government is still perpetuating this vice on the marginalized and more so to global traders such as Japan and India. This misplaced priority happens as the world is facing a threat from global warming. The author could use this study to obtain evidence about the previous and potential impact of capitalism on the marginalized and the future condition of the world. Moreover, it could help to align the audience to the fact that the U.S government needs to restructure its policies to focus on urgent issues.
Reid A. Debra (2012). Beyond Forty Acres and a Mule: African American Land owning Families since Reconstruction
Reid explores the least known role of the American immigrant landowners and farmers who utilized their land and labor to produce agricultural products in the country. This situation prevailed at the time the government was denying the immigrants the right to own property. According to Reid, the indigenous Americans who came across the African Americans in rural areas perceived them as dependent sharecroppers, tenants, and agricultural workers. The Reid explores the challenges these black populations faced while trying to seek ownership of land. The federal government, under the oppressive rule of the 1920s, made it almost difficult for them to get the property. These marginalized groups defied all odds and in the end, owned and participated in agriculture.
This research aligns with the present study by exploring the struggles of the Black American populations, especially by focusing on the issue of property ownership. This study explains that African Americans had to battle it out with the oppressive American government for decades before getting a permission to own land. Although they were allowed to own property in rural areas, they utilized it and became a success story in the field of Black agriculture. This study would, therefore, help the audience to trace the struggles and pains the African Americans had to endure before obtaining permission to own property. The author could compare this historic step to the present state on the issue of property ownership among American immigrants.
Massey S. Douglas (2008). Categorically Unequal: The American Stratification System.30023 (29)24-57.
Massey explores that social differences among the American populations originate from the universal human tradition of classifying others into social groups. The American colored groups, especially African Americans, experience stereotypes and discrimination. This group has, in turn, remained exploited and in every aspect of the American ecosystem. The indigenous Americans often use the existing legal system to suppress the marginalized groups by limiting the accessibility of quality education, housing, jobs, and credit. The federal government has also been embracing the military in addressing the U.S-Mexico border hence making it difficult for the Mexicans to move to their indigenous homeland. The government has also negatively affected the income status of the marginalized, thereby causing broken marriages and single parenthood. Although various legal amendments have taken place to address the marginalized, there is a need for more interventions towards addressing these challenges.
Massey's research sheds light on the state of oppression by focusing on the issue of social class. According to this survey, African Americans took the lower level in the American social structure, thus exposing them to all types of stereotypes and prejudice to date. This study could help to present evidence of discrimination of Black Americans based on the social class by exploring the sectors of employment, education, housing, and loans. This literature would facilitate the present research in explaining the struggles the African Americans have staged to demand equal opportunities.
Nembhard Gordon Jessica (2014). A History of African American Cooperative Economic Thought and Practice
The above article explores the evolution of collaborative strategies among Black American entrepreneurs and their impact on the state of this marginalized group. According to Nembhard, the old newspapers and other relevant materials shows how the Black American community was organized and willing to impact their entrepreneurship skills despite the oppression against them. This author creates an analysis of the applied business strategies towards identifying its efficiency. Consequently, she presents that Black Americans women, men, and children were bright enough to grow their economic status as early as the 1900s and 2000s. They develop cooperative societies and movements towards empowering each other despite the low wage and harsh work conditions. The marginalized community used these collaborative strategies to benefit each other hence elevating some to property ownership.
Reigh A. Steven (2014). A Working Population: A History of African American Employees since Emancipation: Journal analysis by the Alabama Press.
The above author highlights the factors that have constructed the Black American workers from the emancipation era. The fact Black American populations have transformed into the pillar of the modern American economy does not mean that they woke up to find themselves there. This group has survived and passed numerous tests, namely slavery, the civil rights struggle, and the great recession. According to Reigh, the federal legal structures have repeatedly prohibited African Americans from accessing all the necessary and secondary opportunities. The African American struggle towards attaining the current status is worth documenting because it has taken a century and a half.
This research contributes to the present survey by exploring the struggles of African Americans against the discriminative and capitalism strategies of the U.S government. The Black society had to stage a robust and confident battle to attain its current status in the American economy. Although understudied, the African American struggle has a long history and need to take a place in the global ecosystem. This study could help to analyze the manipulation of legal structures by the federal government and its self-serving factors towards oppressing African Americans in the American economic sector for more than a century.
Weems Jr. Robert & Chambers, Jason (2017). Establishing the Black Metropolis: African American Business personalities in Chicago
The above authors have shed light on the evolution of Black American entrepreneurship and how they have proved to the world that they are also capable if given an opportunity. Weems and Chambers explore the historical patterns of the African American business life, such as Jesse Binga, Anthony Overton, and the McDonald's strategy against organized offending by a selected member of the Black community. The great migration by the Black society to American exposed them to significant challenges, yet they struggled towards standing tall and growing their business life. The dual depict that the influx among the southern inhabitants and Chicago's segregation patterns led to the region's economic growth. According to Weems and Chambers, this status led to the nurturing of business growth among Black American Entrepreneurs. Lastly, it is vital to state that every journey has the first step, and given an opportunity; the Black community in America can do wonders.
Weems and Chambers explore the rise of Black American businessmen and women from the time in memorial despite the oppressive governmental structures. This study impacts the current research by informing the fact that the African Americans refused to bow to pressure from the discouraging American legal, economic, and social structures. They, therefore, developed business strategies that saw the rise of wealthy Black merchants. This study could help to analyze the business concepts that aided the Black society to impact its people to grow their economic base, thus defying the oppression.
