Best Answer

Because African Americans used to be slaves. When Abraham Lincoln became president, his plan was to stop slavery from spreading but the Southern states thought he was going to abolish slavery. The Civil War begun and the Union won. The 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery, was also passed. After abolishing slavery, African Americans were treated badly because of their race.

That's how it started.

Segregation has always happened, and always will. The only way to stop segregation is to eliminate any kind of individuality within people.
