separate from white society and lead their own communities.
A couple ways that Southern States kept African Americans from voting, despite the 15th Amendment, would be the Grandfather Clause, fixed literacy test, and poll fees/ taxes. The Grandfather Clause was a law that stated that you could not vote if your family couldn't vote prier to 1866. Poll fees/ taxes wasn't the best idea considering that African Americans weren't the only poor people in America. Some whites were also poor so that allowed them not to vote. And the fixed literacy test was a test question that everyone was asked before they could vote where and they would be fixed where African Americans couldn't vote. They would have stupid questions like "Spell it, backwards" and the correcter could either say to spell IT backwards or to spell BACKWARDS. For an African American, the answer would always be wrong because the correcter would mark it as the other one so they always got it wrong and couldn't vote. There are a couple more ways that Southerners kept African Americans from voting but these are the only couple ones that I know/ was taught.
Its important because African Americans have come a long way from where they use to be. When a race or people start as being slaves & treated extremely cruelly, becoming famous leaders like Martin Luther King Jr or someone like Rosa Parks, is very important & valuable to society. Things like the Underground Railroad influenced American History, and African Americans play a huge role in history.
Martin Luther king is important because he was an African American who lived during the civil rights movement had a dream which eventually came true after his sad death, his heart was in the right place for methods of conquering the segregation that was taking place in America.
Pilgrims really didn't share much because they were starving since they did not know much about America since it was so new. The Native Americans actually taught us about our #1 American food, CORN!!!!

The Reconstruction Era occurs right after the Civil War, which along with freedom already provides changes to African Americans. Because of this, African Americans were no longer slaves and could perform in practices of business, such as sharecropping. Basically, it opened a range of new opportunities to African Americans.
they don't get taught they teach themselves
World War 2 taught (some) Americans that we need to be more tolerant of different races. When they heard the horror of the Holocaust, they realised that we were also intolerant of African-Americans as they were of the Jewish population.
