I don't know if this was during the segregation days, but I know they wouldn't let Ray Charles play there. It is a fitting recognition of his talent and tribute to all those who suffered under discrimination that Ray Charles' song Georgia on my Mind was finally selected as the Georgia state song. I think they also had segregated schools and rest rooms.

In many ways, Reconstruction at the state level profoundly altered traditions of southern government. Serving an expanded citizenry and embracing a new definition of public responsibility, Reconstruction governments established the South's first state-funded public school systems, adopted measures designed to strengthen the bargaining power of plantation laborers, made taxation more equitable, and outlawed racial discrimination in public transportation and accommodations. They also embarked on ambitious programs of economic development, offering lavish aid to railroads and other enterprises in the hope of creating a New South whose economic expansion would benefit black and white alike. But the program of railroad aid did much to undermine support for Reconstruction. Spawning corruption and rising taxes, it alienated increasing numbers of white voters.

Segregation in schools began to be ended in 1955 with the Brown v. Board of Education decision. However, there were several other court decisions that followed in the next two decades to enforce the Brown decision. In some places segregation did not end until the 1970's.

There have been several African American "migrations" to the large cities over the years, so many of the cities you have mentioned have large African American populations.  I would hope that there are no cities that are "ruled" by one ethnicity or another.

The Souther Colonies consisted primariy of North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia.\n\nColonists wanted gold, land, and resources. The biggest reason however was plantations. Many wanted to reap huge profits from growing a variety of crops including tobacco and cotton. Georgia was a colony where English debtors were sent. Though it always acted as a "buffer" between the English and Spanish (Florida).

Segregation in education meant separating black and white schoolchildren from one another, forcing them to attend black-or white-only schools. A national issue, segregation was most prominent in the South, where it was enforced by law and where it fit into a broader pattern of social segregation and political oppression of African Americans known as Jim Crow. The Jim Crow school system was patently unfair to the educational aspirations of millions of southern blacks. In many cases no institution of high training would accept black students; at the primary and secondary levels, white school boards badly underfunded black-only schools, failing to provide adequate facilities, textbooks and instructional materials, or qualified teachers. In 1949, for example, Clarendon County, South Carolina, spent $179 on each white child enrolled in school but only $43 on each black student. While public education was generally in dismal...\n\nSee the whole article at http://history.enotes.com/1940-education-american-decades/segregation-schools

A few reasons:\n\n1.  1896 the Supreme Court ruled in Plessy v. Ferguson that segregation was legal so long as the facilities were "equal."\n\n2.  Lynchings were becoming more and more common at an alarming rate during this time period (until Ida B. Wells began her crusade to end lynchings.)\n\n3.  Jim Crow laws were being passed throughout the South in which all facilities were segregated for blacks and whites (schools, churches, mortuaries, cemetaries, swimming pools, entrances, movie theaters, etc...)\n\n4.  The second rise of the Ku Klux Klan began in 1915 and the Klan grew to 4 million members by the mid-1920s.\n\n5.  W.E.B. DuBois organized the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) in 1906, thus giving a voice to address the wrongs leveled against African-Americans at this time\n\n\nThese are some valid reasons for focusing on racism during these years.

Well, in the south back in the late 1800's and early 1900's, they used to have intelligence tests and a poll tax that would keep most blacks away.  You could also set up polling places too far away from where they live, or put too few machines in making the wait too long.

Not while the government institutions make distinctions between the races and give preferences based on racial differences.\n\nThis means affirmative action, quotas, set-asides, lowering of college entrance requirements, etc.\n\nEvery action of government that differentiates between races keeps racial divisions alive.

Hell no. Remember that during the segregation era, southern states hindered the advancement of equality by declaring they were "sovereign states" and didn't had to obey federal law. I support states rights to some limit and I think when states conflict with federal government then we are in trouble.

Negroes survived by just living through the laws of Jim Crow.  They worked together and tried to lay low.  Many negroes moved North so that they could get out of the harsh segragation of Jim Crow.
