//US v. Cruikshank - Tony Din// On Easter day in 1873, black Republican Freedmen were at Colfax, Louisanna. They were at the courthouse there to protect it from Democratic takeover. thir was an attack on the courthouse by White Republicans. The battle resulted in 100 to 280 black Republican deths. only 3 white Democratic people died. This event was known as the Colfax Massicre and later caused many riots. The event was caused over the 1872 election. Both parties thought that they won, causing fued in between the two parties. The two parties then fought and the Colfax Massicre took place. //Colfax Massicre// This event has helped to better our political system today. The system now has a way to determine a definate winner of the campaigners. This will prevent future battles like the colfax massicre. This event has help intergrate people. The political system has been fixed and bettered since then. Their can be no conflict now and their can be no excuse for violence over an election.

The event had changed our political system and bettered our economy. This event has also showed that people will fought over their their political party and that still never solved anything. This event was an event America has learned from. This event will be remembered for it brutality and how racisim played a role in this election. This was also another motivation for intergration and peace in between the two races and parties.

This disturbance caused riots, conflict between the two races, conflict between the two parties, etc. This has shown us what a person is willing to do for their rights. In this case the parties fealt that they were cheated and took action. The deth on 200 to 280 black Ruuepublicans was a learning expierence. We learned how much a man is willing to do for his political party. THe Political race was a close race and that is want maybe caused the conflicet

Today we have a better poll system. Votes are shown live on T.V. and can not fool the voters. This way we can track our votes and see live who is winning An election. Although people may disagree on political parties we should not fight over it but protest peacefully. In the end,the ruling was on an array of problems and found the indictment faulty. It overturned the convictions of two defendants in the case.
