After the abolition of slavery, African-Americans faced significant challenges, including systemic racism, economic inequality, and social discrimination. Many were subjected to sharecropping and labor exploitation, which kept them in poverty. Jim Crow laws enforced racial segregation, denying them basic civil rights and access to quality education and employment. Despite these obstacles, African-Americans began to establish communities and organizations aimed at advocating for their rights and improving their social conditions.

Which group of people were the first to enter the slave trade?
Impossible to say. Slavery and trading in slaves has been a fact of life since before recorded history. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Slavery goes back to ancient times (more than 4 thousand years ago, the Ancient Egyptians had slaves) and we do not know who the first group of people to practice slavery were and when this happened. What we do know and can be proud of is that it was the British emancipation movement lead by William Wilberforce that made the first human laws making slavery illegal. This happened in August 1834 when the Slavery Abolition Act, abolished slavery in British Empire. Thus from thousands of generations where slavery was regarded as a "normal" state we moved to our present view of the importance of individual human freedom.
In what year did Sojourner Truth meet Harriet Beecher Stowe?
Harriet Beecher Stowe is most famous as the author of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" - which, although fictional, fairly accurately depicted many of the horrors and injustices of slavery. It also focused on how Christian love can overcome something as destructive as enslavement of fellow human beings. The book significantly enhanced support for the abolition of slavery in the USA; Stowe was an ardent abolitionist.Sojourner Truth [born Isabella ("Bell") Baumfree] was a contemporary of Stowe and also a prominent abolitionist. She was born into slavery in New York in 1797 (slavery was legal in New York then) but escaped with her youngest child in 1826. The state of New York began, in 1799, to legislate the abolition of slavery, although the process of emancipating those people enslaved in New York was not complete until July 4, 1827. Truth learned that her son Peter, then five years old, had been sold illegally to an owner in Alabama. With the help of the people who took her in when she walked off from her last "owner", she went to court and in 1828, after months of legal proceedings, she got back her son (who had been abused by those who were enslaving him). In 1843 she became a committed Christian - joining the Methodists. On June 1 of that year, she changed her name to Sojourner Truth. She told friends: "The Spirit calls me, and I must go" and left to make her way traveling and preaching about the abolition of slavery.Combined the white Stowe and the black Truth were prominent and influential figures in the abolition movement who significantly advanced the cause of abolition of slavery in the USA while simultaneously advancing the perspective that abolition was the Christian thing to do.

No. The constitution and the Declaration are NOT related. Both had different purposes. The Declaration to state whythe colonies wanted to be free from England and doing so in July 4, 1776. The constitution is our plan of government and it wasn't written until 1789. The preamble states why it is written.
