Explanation:

Benjamin "Pap" Singleton (1809-1900) was an American activist and businessman, well known for his role in creating African - American settlements in Kansas. Being former slave from Tennessee who broke free in 1846, he became a prominent abolitionist, community leader, and representative of African American civil rights movement at that time. He came to the conclusion that blacks would never achieve economic equality in the conditions of white dominance of the South. After the Reconstruction, Singleton organized the movement of thousands of black colonists, known as Exodusters, to establish settlements in Kansas.

By 1877, the federal government had left the southern states, and groups such as the Ku Klux Klan ‘launched’ huge ‘campaign’ of African American terrorism. Singleton used this moment to bring 73 settlers to Cherokee County in Kansas. He found land in Dunlap, Kansas, and, by the spring of 1878, the Singleton’ group went to Kansas. The following year, there were already approximately 2,500 settlers. They named the area “Dunlap colony.”

In 1879, approximately 50,000 liberated African Americans left the south and went to the west. Although many had nothing common with Singleton, many built relationships with settlers from the Dunlap colony.

not to sure sdi, strategic defense initiative

the ss was the main organization responsible for the genocidal murder of around six million people of european ethnic minorities, essentially jews, in the holocaust. the members of all its branches committed war crimes and crimes against humanity during the second world war (1939-1945). likewise, the ss were involved in commercial enterprises and exploited the inmates of the concentration camps as slave laborers.

the tortures and assassinations committed by the ss were the result of an ideology developed long before the armed conflict, this ideology was based on the racial supremacy of the germans over the rest.
