Welcome to Sam C. website hope you enjoy

All people who's skin was dark African Americans escpecially.

All african americans were treated horribly no matter what happened. They could be released from slavery but they would have to listen to a master for many years or maybe go against his own people and even thenhe might not even be released and they still wouldn't have the same chances for a successful life.



African Americans were treated horribly after the emancipation proclamation there couldn't be anymore slaves but they still got treated terrible until 1960 because no matter what happened they were segregated different schools, different restraunts, and different seats in the buses. So they were segregated for thousands of years.



Slaves were treated the worst but african americans were also treated bad although things are getting better there is no way we will ever forget.

When the Civil War ended, leaders turned to the question of how to reconstruct the nation. One important issue was the right to vote. Hotly debated were rights of black American men and former Confederate men to vote.

Congress also passed two amendments to the Constitution. The Fourteenth Amendment made African-Americans citizens and protected citizens from discriminatory state laws. Southern states were required to ratify the Fourteenth Amendment before being readmitted to the union. The Fifteenth Amendment guaranteed African American men the right to vote.



Between the American Revolution and the end of the Civil War, millions of Africans were brought to America as slaves.

Many West Africans were sold to plantation owners who cultivated rice in the marshy lowlands of South Carolina. Planters preferred West Africans because they were experienced rice farmers who could make the plantations successful. Slaves were treated as property. Some masters required slaves to wear tags that identified them when they were away from the plantation. Thousands tried to escape to freedom over the secret routes known as the Underground Railroad.

Now many years after slavery is over and african americans are treated better then they have been there are still people who are going to mourn from what white men used to do to them.
