What were the attitudes of many southern whites toward African Americans?

Honestly, the specifics depend on what time period you were referring to but in general from the US Civil War through the Civil Rights Movement, southern whites viewed the North as uneducated in the ways of the South, as getting involved in something they had no business tampering with and southerners thought northerners viewed themselves as superior over their southern brethren. In regards to minorities, many (but not all) Southerners viewed minorities as a lower life form, basically. Quite a lot of fear and misunderstanding played into that view as well because the whites didn't understand many of the customs of the minorities and vice versa. Ironically, many Southerners viewed themselves as superior over minorities, especially African-Americans.


Who said Who dat say who dat?

Charlie Parker The answer is 'Butterfly McQueen' NOT Charlie Parker ! It was actually Hattie McDaniel, who played Mammy, in Gone With the Wind...she and Scarlett had just met with a group of carpetbaggers (I believe that's who they were) during Reconstruction, and Mammy, curious as to who they were, turned to Scarlett and asked, "Who dat?" Butterfly McQueen was in GWTW, too.

What results did we get from the amendments of slavery?

The 13th amendment officially abolished slavery. Once these slaves were free, the abolitionists and the northerners feared the southerners and former confederates would deny these freedmen citizenship. So, the 14th amendment granted the African Americans citizenship. And then, the 15th amendment was established, granting the African Americans the right to vote. But some states issued a poll tax and a literacy test to prevent them from voting. Groups like the KKK formed to keep African Americans from voting. The Civil Rights Act of 1965 played a big role in ending these harsh restrictions on voting. There were also black codes and Jim Crow Laws which treated African Americans harshly as well.
