African Americans basically had their rights deprived of them. They couldn't go into a "white" restaurant go use the "white" bathroom or water fountain. They were treated like a minority group and like they weren't even important. Some peace leaders such as Martin Luther King helped to put a stop to this, but it still did not stop. Not a lot of the white people treated them with respect.

During reconstruction, there were laws passed as black codes. I am doing a political cartoon on black codes. According to what I read, they were not allowed to vote, have the same recreation as whites, they were not treated the same in means of transportation. The black codes rained down on these freedmen, stopping them to do what they wanted. Also, any jobs never had the same pay for African Americans.
