Enlightenment

1.

Enlightenment philosophers

John Locke, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and Montesquieu were three Enlightenment philosophers whose ideas about government heavily influenced modern democracy, particularly the U.S. Constitution. Locke emphasized natural rights ((life,liberty,property)) and the social contract, arguing that government's purpose is to protect these rights and can be overthrown if it fails. Montesquieu advocated for the separation of powers into legislative, executive, and judicial branches to prevent tyranny, a system central to the U.S. government. Rousseau focused on the "general will" of the people and the idea of the "consent of the governed," believing that the people, not a king, are the ultimate sovereign.

"Bombingham"

2.

Goal: The campaign's purpose was to challenge the city's segregation system and gain national attention for the brutal and racist treatment of Black people in Birmingham, which was known as one of America's most segregated cities.

Genially

Jim Crow Laws

  • Public and private spaces: Jim Crow ordinances legally mandated separation in parks, libraries, schools, restrooms, buses, and elevators. Signs designating "Whites Only" and "Colored" were constant and unambiguous
  • Limited political power: In 1960, only 10% of Birmingham's Black population was registered to vote, effectively silencing their political voice.
  • Widespread bombings: Between 1945 and 1963, over 60 bombings targeted Black homes, churches, and businesses, designed to terrorize and punish those who challenged the racial order. The Ku Klux Klan (KKK) was often connected to these attacks.
  • "Dynamite Hill": A neighborhood of Black families who moved into previously all-white areas became so frequent a target of bombings that it was named "Dynamite Hill".

White Supremacy

  • Birmingham's government openly defended segregation and used its power to quash any attempts at reform.
  • Eugene "Bull" Connor: As Commissioner of Public Safety, Connor was a staunch white supremacist who controlled the police and fire departments and was known for his brutality. He worked with the KKK to maintain racial segregation.
  • Suppressing protests: Connor's police force routinely harassed, arrested, and brutalized civil rights activists and their supporters before the 1963 campaign. When Reverend Shuttlesworth petitioned the city for desegregation, the mayor reportedly threw it in the trash.

During this campaign, King was arrested, and while in jail, he wrote his famous "Letter from Birmingham Jail" in response to a public statement by local white clergymen. The letter defends the use of nonviolent direct action and argues for the urgency of the civil rights movement.

The Enlightenment, or Age of Reason, was an exciting time in European history when philosophers, writers, and scientists started to ask big questions about government, society, and what it means to be human. These ideas traveled across the Atlantic and became a major influence on the American Founding Fathers as they created the United States and wrote the Constitution. Let’s break down some of the ways Enlightenment thinking shaped the nation’s beginnings, especially around human nature, power and authority, leadership, liberty, rights, and security.
