Gaining equal rights did not happen all at once. There was a long series of steps. A few of these steps were as follows.

The 13th amendment was a start. It ended legal slavery.

The amendments reads, "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."

The 15th amendment was another major milestone. It gave black men the right to vote.

"Right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude."

Brown vs. the Board of Education outlawed educational segregation. It allowed for schools to become integrated.

Leaders like Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr. brought attention to civil rights issues as well.

Why were the rights of African Americans restricted in the south?

African-Americans originally came to the US as slaves, but slavery was abolished around the end of the American Civil war. (Slavery officially ended on December 6th, 1865) However, most of the Southern White population did not like this change, so they used racist laws (such as the Jim Crow Laws) to "keep the blacks in their place". The white population believed they were superior to the black population, so they enforced racist laws and restricted their rights.
