The limited freedom of blacks and their status as second-class citizens stemmed from systemic racism and discriminatory laws, such as Jim Crow laws, which enforced racial segregation in public spaces, education, and employment. These laws institutionalized inequality and denied African Americans basic civil rights, including the right to vote, access to quality education, and fair treatment in the legal system. Additionally, social and economic barriers, along with widespread prejudice, perpetuated their oppression and marginalized their contributions to society.

They feared the ex-slaves would attack their families.
