African Americans wrote the "Oppression of Freedom" petition in response to the systemic injustices and racial discrimination they faced, particularly following the Civil War and the failure of Reconstruction. The petition aimed to highlight the ongoing oppression, including violence, disenfranchisement, and economic inequality, and to demand equal rights and recognition as full citizens. It reflected a growing awareness of civil rights and the need for activism to combat the pervasive racism in society. This movement was driven by a desire for social justice and the realization that formal emancipation did not equate to true freedom or equality.
