The Civil War Amendments refer to the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments to the United States Constitution, which were adopted in the aftermath of the Civil War. These amendments were designed to address the issues of slavery and its consequences, ensuring the rights of former slaves and promoting equality. The 13th Amendment abolished slavery, the 14th granted citizenship and equal protection under the law, and the 15th aimed to secure voting rights for African American men. Collectively, they sought to reshape American society in the wake of the war and the abolition of slavery.
During slavery, African Americans were forced to work without compensation on plantations and in various sectors, performing grueling labor under harsh conditions. They were denied basic human rights, subjected to physical punishment, and separated from their families. Additionally, they were often stripped of their cultural identities and denied access to education. The institution of slavery dehumanized them, treating them as property rather than individuals.

Haitians are considered part of the African diaspora, as the majority of the population in Haiti is of African descent due to the history of slavery and colonialism. However, the term "African American" specifically refers to Americans of African descent, so Haitians would not fall under this specific classification.

The Supreme Court upheld slavery through decisions like the 1857 Dred Scott v. Sandford case, which ruled that African Americans, whether free or enslaved, were not American citizens and therefore had no standing to sue in federal court. This decision allowed for the expansion of slavery into US territories and reinforced the idea that African Americans were considered property under the Constitution.
Shouldn't that already be self-explanatory (seeing how this is under the "Hawaii" category...)? He's Native Hawaiian (not Native American or African American).
The African slaves were not allowed to drink clean water, fall in love, eat good amount of food and worked long hours for no pay.
1. The triangle trade brought Africans who are, need I have to say, already highly cultured ( Egyptian pyramids, gods, wealth. Shaka Zulu, Hannibal, cleopactra, exotic animals, beautiful land, ect. ) and brought them to America, gave them a higher level of literacy after slavery and combined thier culture with the Africans so you have African American's thus a mixed culture with the two races.
Africans still practiced their traditional Yoruba & Vodou religions, under slavery, by concealing it under the guise of following Christianity.
