Thesis
I would strongly argue that without the so called civil rights movement and the civil rights legislation in the U.S. in the 1950s and 1960s, by today African-Americans or simply black Americans would be today as well off or nearly as well off without both of them had the natural progress of a free society and free markets been allowed to take its course.
The role of the federal government’s should have been to enforce the law. Meaning that perpetrators of crimes against black Americans should have been prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law including, if necessary, capital punishment.
The civil rights unrest primarily served as a pretext for the federal government and the U.S. Congress to seize or centralize more power and control over states, individuals, and businesses.
This blog is dedicated to proving this point! :-)
