African American Women In 1865-1930's

In the 1960’s, black and white individuals were not recognized as being equal. The two races were treated differently, and the African Americans did not enjoy the same freedoms as the whites. The African Americans never had a chance to speak their mind, voice their opinions, or enjoy the same luxuries that the white people attained. Through various actions/efforts like the lunch counter sit-ins, freedom rides, and bus boycotts, the black people confronted segregation face on and worked to achieve equality and freedom.

After the ending of the Civil War in 1865, slavery was, at last, formally abolished by the Thirteenth Amendment. Due to the freedom of these African Americans and the South’s ever-growing hatred towards this group, African Americans were left to suffer harsh discrimination and horrible conditions. Africans Americans were left without homes, education, jobs, or money. Reconstruction was the Radical Republicans’ attempt to try and bring the Confederate states back to normal and unite both the South and the North into a whole country once again. Reconstruction was also set to protect and help the newly freed African Americans assimilate to the new society and the foreign economy they were placed in. Conditions of the African Americans in

During The Reconstruction era, African Americans faced many obstacles on their way to success. Reconstruction of the United States refers to the remodeling that took place after the civil war. The country was injured in all areas. Its society, economy and physical structure had been In January of 1863; President Abraham Lincoln lifted the chains off thousands of African Americans’ shoulders by releasing the Emancipation Proclamation. Unfortunately, this relief was short-winded. The Emancipation Proclamation stated that all people who were deemed as slaves, were to be set free from slavery and guaranteed to no return to it. At first glance, this new legislative act appeared to provide endless opportunities for newly freed African Americans. Instead, life after the passing of the Emancipation Proclamation conceived more problems for African Americans than those they possessed during the bondage of slavery. After the Emancipation Proclamation was passed, African Americans faced various issues including a lack of opportunities, an unfair starting point and continuous discrimination.

After the Civil War, Reconstruction was supposed to begin and fix the racism and inequality, while newly freed African Americans were given more rights, they remained quite oppressed and suffered through different things during Reconstruction. Reconstruction happened after the Civil War in an attempt to have the rebellious south agree to the terms which the North (Union) demanded they agree to in order to once again be a whole nation. Slavery was among one of the many demands which the Union demanded the south to give up. The south would no longer be part of congress or even allowed to vote for quite some time, however after a while they were allowed to vote and become part of the government once again. Reconstruction was a time immediately

African Americans were a very important addition to the American Civil War such as fighting and spying for both the north and the south sides. The American Civil War was a war fought in the United States between the North and South states. The war was from 1861-1865 and was because the South wanted to establish itself as a separate nation. The northern states were called the Union and the southern states were called the Confederate. Between the north and south states were the Border States, which did not belong to either of the sides. The Border States included Maryland, Delaware, West Virginia, Kentucky and Missouri. In the north, slavery did not exist but the south was the opposite. In the war, the north and south states fought against each other while the Border States were neutral. Before the war and during the war, African Americans were treated very unfairly compared to white people. This essay will examine how African Americans were treated before, during and after the Civil War.

This was the period of post-slavery, early twentieth century, in southern United States where blacks were still treated by whites inhumanly and cruelly, even after the abolition laws of slavery of 1863. They were still named as ‘color’. Nothing much changed in African-American’s lives, though the laws of abolition of slavery were made, because now the slavery system became a way of life. The system was accepted as destiny. So the whites also got license to take disadvantages and started exploiting them sexually, racially, physically, and economically. During slavery, they were sold in the slave markets to different owners of plantation and were bound to be separated from each other. Thus they lost their nation, their dignity, and were dehumanized and exploited by whites.

What if everything was still determined by your skin color or religion? We would still have diverse bathrooms, churches, and shopping centers. And what if someone wanted to change the way you lived the moment they met you? In the seventeenth century women were depicted by their skin color, household duties, religion, and the women’s way of living.

Since the 60’s america has come along way with civil rights. The racial unjust between white and black people have almost diminished completely. African americans now have the same rights as a white man, leading to higher employment rates, and enrollment rates into school.

After the Civil War, African American slaves were set free, and they were given more rights. The rights they were given weren’t fair compared to the one whites had. African Americans did not gain their freedom during the reconstruction period.

Former slaves were denied equality. At the beginning of Reconstruction, it appeared that former slaves were going to face the exact same hardships of slavery, but under a different name. Andrew Johnson wanted the South back, and allowed them to without a definite plan on what to do with the 4.5 million former slaves. Due to this, the South was free to “recreate” slavery by reinforcing the “Black Codes” which were nearly the same as the “Slave Codes.” Black people were not allowed to have weapons, vote, or marry outside of their race. Black people were “free” but they were put in a position in which they were still forced to work on plantations via labor contracts and sharecropping. This made it impossible for black people to gain any amount

Fortunately for the Irish, Germans, and Chinese, their livelihoods would leave an impression on American society sparking major political and military changes. These minorities would eventually gain political and economic power in the nation’s major cities, turning America upside down and forever creating the unique interracial nation, which would become a haven for multitudes of immigrants and refugees to come. The history of the 1800s immigrants will hopefully be a lesson to today’s political and civil peoples and serve as a reminder of the hardships our ancestors endured for the possibility to achieve the “American
