The 1920s was a period of tension in relations between whites and blacks in America. During World War I, over 200,000 Black soldiers experienced nations in Europe in which their color was not a major handicap. When they returned home after the war, many expected a greater measure of equality. Those black families that moved north, experienced more civil rights, on paper, and a less restrictive lifestyle than those black families in the South. But there was still much segregation in the North. De facto segregation as opposed to de jure segregation in the South. There were many race riots during the decade of the Twenties. During the Twenties, black nationalism began to grow. Organizations, like the Universal Negro Improvement Association, began to grow.

What is the reason for Ireland being partitioned?
Are you serious?
Ulster was a Unionist area while the South was a predominantly nationalist area.
The war of independence caused the British government to give into the Irish people's want for self determination.
The Unionist wouldn't stand for Ulster being separated from Britain, so Ireland was split into 2 different states, under the same King.
The Free State (The South) became a colony similar to Canada after that, that is until it left the commonwealth, with the drafting of the 1936 constitution.
While the North remained a part of Britain.
