Yesterday, we took PowerPoint notes on the response to the Fifteenth Amendment. The government passed the Enforcement Act of 1870 and the Civil Rights Act of 1875 due to the response by the South. We then looked at the Civil Rights Cases from 1883.
Today, we decided if treating people equally means treating them the same. It was decided that to treat people equally, they have to be given the same opportunities, even if it's unequal conditions that get them there. Also, treating people equally is proportional to their conditions. For example, if two people went to the doctor with headaches and one had a brain tumor while the other had a regular headache, equal treatment would be proportional to their condition. We also talked about the Plessy v. Ferguson case.
