They were different because they were Black. The whites especially in the south resented not being able to carry on their culture of slavery, the freed slaved competed with the whites for work which lead to resentment. If those that had the power were to treat the blacks as humans they would be put in a position where they would have to treat them more fairly in the marketplace. So it all boiled down to pleasing the majority white population and still maintaining a cheap labor force by pretending they were not really proper human beings.
