African-American slaves in America ate what was given to them---little---or grew crops such as squash, corn, and beans. They didn't have it well until Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation freed all slaves in the Union.
African American reparations were supposed to be a payment to relatives of people that were slaves. For a short period of time, people were given land and a mule, that was ultimately taken away.
From my Native American and African American background, I can tell you that my relative native american and african american families worked along side each other on the plantation. No, they probably didn't enjoy being slaves on a plantation, but it is evidence given from my 100 year old grandmother. She made a book about our family history I never forgot and the native american/ african american mixing was the most recent (meaning 1800's) further mixing of my already west indian family line. So, they were friends and a little more.

What rights were given to African-Americans wright/type what YOU think.
Slaves were never allowed to vote. Male African-Americans or persons of color were given the right to vote in 1870.
Because their slave owners promised them that if the south wins, then the slaves would be able to get land, freedom and so on. Or the slaves were adjusted to their lifestyle and did not want to change it. They thought that the life they had was fine as is.

Slaves often wore a shirt, overalls, and a hat for protection over the sun and rain. Kid slaves just wore a shirt
