Film: Eyes on the Prize, Beginnings
At the beginning of the video "Eyes on the Price," it is mentioned that "during the 1950s and 1960s Americans fought a second Revolution...to make America be America for all." Based on our readings and discussions, please provide a reflection that describes how this Revolution was either similar or different from the Civil War. For instance, think about the role of African Americans and Whites, tactics used during the movement (i.e. non-violence vs. full-scale war), Court rulings, and the importance of public opinion, to name a few. Provide at least three examples.
Discussion of Film: The Civil War
Please provide a brief 2-3 paragraph reflection. You can address any or all of the following questions:
1. Was the Civil War inevitable?
2. What might each side have done to avert war?
3. Why did they choose not to maintain peace?
