to reform = to change

During the 1870s, citizens began to voice concerns about the effects of alcohol on society. The TEMPERANCE movement began. Most counties became “dry” Texas ratified (accepted) the Eighteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, outlawing all alcohol. ***It was later nullified (canceled)

 The Texas Constitution 1876 denied women suffrage.  Texas women created the Texas Woman Suffrage Association.  After many years of trying and failing, women were able to vote for the first time in Texas state primaries in  In June, 1919, Texas ratified the Nineteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, giving all women the right to vote.

 After the Civil War, those in the South were still very much against freedom for African American slaves.  Those states decided to pass the Jim Crow Laws, which discriminated against African Americans.  This included: segregation of schools; use of public facilities; access to theaters, restaurants, etc.

 Many African American Texans found themselves powerless after Reconstruction.  Democratic leaders harassed and threatened them if they tried to vote.  In 1902, the poll tax was enacted, requiring voters to pay a tax to be able to vote.  Most minorities and many whites were too poor to pay the tax, and therefore could not vote.  Segregation was widespread as a result of the Jim Crow Laws.  In 1912, some Houston residents formed an NAACP chapter.

 Many Mexican American citizens faced similar challenges.  They were also victims of the Jim Crow Laws.  Hispanics joined in the fight for better living and working conditions.  A bigger challenge for all Texans was forming elsewhere in the world… **Hector Garcia formed the American GI Forum to fight discrimination  He won the Presidential Medal of Honor

 Progressives pushed for reform to labor laws. Companies could no longer use blacklists.  Companies could no longer issue scrip instead of money for wages.  **Child labor laws were enacted.

 Hogg’s reform appealed to Populists.  Populist was a political movement created to work for the rights of common man  Populists demanded government regulation of businesses and utility companies.  They also campaigned for a graduated income tax and direct election of U.S. Senators.  In 1896, populism faded away, being replaced by the Democratic Party, which held many populist values.

 1915 James Ferguson becomes governor.  He concentrated on helping the poor tenant farmers, giving him the nickname “Farmer Jim”.  He was very productive.
