The simple, straightforward title of the poem “Mother to Son,” by the African-American poet Langston Hughes (1902-1967), finds both the speaker of the work and the person to whom her words are discussed. The very first line of the poem is typical of the rest of the work in its use of phrasing that is colloquial—that is, in this case, phrasing that implies one person speaking to another.

In the end, I decided that I disagree with the idea of America is much more of a political and moral fact. What started as the…

The United States became a more democratic society after the Civil War through the liberation of African American slaves and development of racial equality and the increase of mobility and empowerment of women. Both of these aspects were previously treated with grave inequalities, and after the Civil War each group steadily gained more power and freedom.
