Depth study summary
A summary of each of the Civil Rights Depth Studies. A Level OCR History.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Gilded Age dates | 1877 - 1896 |
| Gilded Age summary | An era of rapid economic growth that saw industrialisation and mass immigration. The wealth divide grew and many monopolies (such as Rockefeller and Carnegie) were formed. Railroads, factories, mining and finance increased. The South remained devastated. |
| Panic of 1893 summary | A large railroad company collapsed leading to the failure of many banks and businesses, causing investors to pull funds. The agricultural depression deepened and the gold reserves dwindled. |
| Panic of 1893 response | President Cleveland took a laissez-faire attitude and did not interfere. Strikes occurred in response to this. |
| Panic of 1893 impact | Monopolies became more powerful and the poorest of society felt that they had been ignored and left under the control of the huge companies. |
| New Deal Dates | 1933-34 (first New Deal) 1935-38 (second New Deal) |
| Three aims of the New Deal | Help the victims of the Great Depression; encourage an economic revival and working; reform the economic system to prevent another depression |
| Focuses of the first and second New Deal eras | First focused on correcting the financial crisis, offering industrial recovery by government spending and relief for the unemployed. Second focused on reforming areas of social security/public services and lowering the (still high) unemployment. |
| Black Power Dates | 1965-1976 |
| Black Power Origins | Inspired by Malcolm X after his assassination, and criticising MLK's non-violence. Garvey's UNIA created a model for Black Power, with the Black Panthers being the main organisation. |
| Black Power Appeal | The movement was generally outside of the South, appealing to urban AAs. The movement generally rejected cooperation with white Americans. |
| Black Power Aims | Encouraging black pride and culture, removing institutional oppression that was entrenched in U.S. legislation, preparing a need for AAs to defend themselves with weapons. |
| End of the Black Power movement | The assassination of Black Panthers leaders weakened the movement, along with divisions within groups. By 1973, AA activists focused more on getting into public office. |
