Did blacks and whites go to the same schools in the early 20th century?

== == Because of the American society in the early and mostly mid 20th century, blacks and whites were kept completely separate. Whites did not consider blacks to be their equals, even though they have always been equal. To answer the question, yes they did go to the same schools, but they were separated; whites and blacks were not in the same class. A black teacher would teach the black students, and a white teacher would teach the white students. Also, black teachers would not get paid as much as white teachers. The above answer is true for some parts of the country, but not for all. In the north, and in the larger cities there was a good deal of mixing of the races. Still, below the mason-dixon line there was strict separation. Even of water fountains and laundry-mats. The country was less homoginized then so that there were every possible set-up as you moved from town to town.

How was the life in north different from the south?

In the North prejudice and racism werent practiced as much as in the South. The North integrated schools and didnt segregate races. Although some whites' personalities havent changed about blacks during the civil war, their policies of racism werent as harsh as the south. The South enacted the Jim Crow Laws. These were a set of laws that segregated blacks and whites. They had colored watering ftns, colored schools, and seperated everything, and gave the colored people bad quality. If a man even looked at a white person the wrong way they could be killed. (See Emmet Till Case) Southerners basically hated blacks. So they treated them bad. The North was more open to black and whites together and were nicer than the south.
