What made african americans bow down what was promised to them to become us citizens?

What initially caused African Americans to bow down was a whip in the hands of slave holders and overseers. After slavery was abolished it was repressive laws of a wide variety or sorts and ignorant people who did not see their value (and in some cses did not even see them as people). After slavery they were promised "40 acres and a mule" (enough to feed their families) but few received that. They were promised equal rights but that turned out to be a long road.


How did conditions for southern famers and laborers change from 1865 to 1900?

In the early 1860's poor white people and African Americans would work on plantations for money and because African Americans had no where to really go that they'd be accepted. As the years passed farmers went through sharecropping, where a farmer worked a parcel of land in return for a share of the crop, a cabin, seed tools and a mule, but sharecroppers had no income until harvest time. From there, farmers became an option for low income. -MEGHAN GUMP
