In 1826, Frances Wright founded the Nashoba Commune in Tennessee. It was small colony that included former slaves whose freedom she had purchased. Wright wanted to create a place where African Americans could be self-supporting. What was most likely her ultimate goal?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Her aim was most likely for them to be self sufficient, free people with full legal rights — as the white citizens. She sought to create an agricultural community not built from a slave based economy.

She was an educated, multi-lingual woman raised in Europe so visiting the United States and witnessing black people in servitude and unfair conditions was probably very shocking. Her idea of Nashoba was probably quite Utopian for that era.

The commune lasted roughly three years and then she paid passage for the residents to Haiti where they were greeted by then president Jean Pierre Boyer and her life long friend General Lafayette

They provided to the URSS the designs of nuclear weapons that only the US had achieved to develop and, from this moment on, the US stopped being the only country in the world with access to nuclear weapons.

The American public had negative intentions about the Vietnam War, Americans were being drafted to a war they knew they were going to win. In other words, American military participants were walking into a death trap. It was truly Lyndon B. Johnson who escalated the war by waging war. He gave himself the right to send troops without congress’s approval by ‘The Tonkin Gulf Resolution.’ Later the right to send troops with congress approval was repealed.
