Well, they did give them equal rights and the right to vote. There are also cases of affirmative action (choosing a person for a job or college because they are of a different race; it's also called reverse racism).

I.Slavery in the Colonies\n\na. South Carolina and Georgia\naa. low country near the coast ideal for growing rice and indigo\nindigo - type of plant used in making a blue dye for cloth\nab. blacks made the majority of the population\nac. had more plantations with 100 slaves or more than any other area\nad. lack of interaction allowed slaves in GA & SC to preserve some of their culture\nGullah language – combination of English and African\nae. many came directly from Africa\naf. many had grown rice in Africa\nb. Virginia and Maryland\nba. lives of slaves in VA & MD differed from those in GA & SC in 4 ways:\n1. slaves in VA & MD were a minority of the pop.\n2. few slaves came to VA & MD directly from Africa\n3. slaves did different work\ngrowing tobacco not as labor intensive as rice or indigo\nslaves did other tasks\n4. slaves in VA & MD had more regular contact with European Americans\nbb. high cost of slaves led some planters to encourage their slaves to raise families\nbc. some male slaves in VA worked away from plantations as artisans or laborers\nc. New England and Middle Colonies\nca. by late 1700s, about 400,000 blacks lived in Southern Colonies\nonly about 50,000 in N. Eng. & Middle Colonies combined\nfarms were much smaller\ncb. most slaves lived in cities\n\n II.Free Blacks\n\na. free black pop. In Northern & Southern colonies did not grow significantly until after Revolutionary War\nb. some slave laws discourage people from freeing slaves\nba. owners had to get permission from the legislature\nc. law demanded that freed slaves leave a colony within six months of gaining freedom\nd. free blacks did much of the same kind of work as slaves but were probably worse off materially\ne. endured poor living conditions and more severe discrimination\n\nIII.Laws and Revolts\n\na. every colony passed its own slave laws\nb. settlers in Georgia were barred from owning slaves in 1735\nba. the ban was lifted in 1750\nc. Virginia passed its first major slave code in 1680\nca. SC in 1690, revised 1696, 1712, & 1740\nd. slaves could not go aboard ships or ferries or leave the town limits without a pass\ne. 1739, several dozen slaves near Charleston killed more than twenty whites in the Stono Rebellion\nea. burned an armory and started toward Spanish Florida were a small colony of runaway slaves lived\neb.

Southern Colonies\naa. economy based on growing staple crops\nab. tobacco exports Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware:\n1700, 32 mil. pounds\n1770, 83.8 mil. pounds\nac. African slaves supplied most of the labor\n1650, only about 500 Africans in Virginia (3% of  pop.)\n1700, enslaved Africans totaled 16,000 (28% of Pop.)\nad.

New England Colonies\nca. 1700s, N. Eng. Colonies consisted of small self-sufficient farms and towns dependent on long distance trade\ncb. shipping and fishing important industries\ntriangular trade -a series of indirect routes used to conduct trade between the colonies and England - the trade ultimately carried raw materials to England and manufactured goods to the colonies\n\n\n  V.Industrial Innovation in America\n\na. Eli Whitney\naa. developed idea of interchangeable parts\nab. invented the cotton gin\nb. the invention of the cotton gin had several effects\n1) profit of cotton skyrocketed\n~ in the early 1800s, cotton was America’s most profitable export\n2) southern planters began to depend solely on cotton\n3) planters looked for new lands to grow crops\n4) increased the demand for slavery\n\n   VI.The Economy of the South\n\na. while the northeast urbanized, the South remained rural\nb. less than 8% of white southerners lived in t

Ok you don’t seem to be getting many answers so I’ll try to be more helpful.\n\nMany Western governments attempt to reduce discrimination through civil rights and equal opportunity laws and policies like affirmative action.\n\nMost religious discrimination is banned along with discrimination based on race, gender, nationality, etc.  Crimes directed against people on the basis of religion are actually lumped in with “hate crimes”, meaning they are considered more severe because the motivation was based on prejudice as opposed to anger, fear, etc.\n\nLyndon Johnson kicked off the more recent federal protections with Executive Order 11246 in the sixties. It dealt mostly with hiring practices.\n\nOther presidents and legislators have expanded on this. \n\nRegards,\nArmus

I'd say one was passage of the civil rights legislation in the 1960s. Delegates of a representative democracy (elected by a majority) voted for it.\n\nYou could extend that reasoning to cover everything from voting rights, to certain rights for illegal aliens, to SBA incentives for minorities to start businesses. \n\nI hope this is for school and you're cheating.

1.  It resulted in the passage of the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments\n2.  It resulted in the old South becoming powerful again and relegating Blacks to second-class citizenship again after 1877 with the Compromise of 1877\n3.  It led to the end of the first Ku Klux Klan\n4.  It started the sharecropping economy in the South\n5.  It began the Jim Crow Era in the South\n\nBecause of the failure of Reconstruction there was a need for the civil rights movement to occur following World War II.

It no longer applies, but the law in Alabama in the 1950s was that black people had to sit in the back of the bus if white people wanted to sit in the front. Rosa Parks protested that law by refusing to go to the back when asked, and as such began the Civil Rights movement which eventually led to the removal of racist laws.

Martin Luther King Jr., also protested for many African Americans to have the right to vote in certain southern states like Alabamba, Missississippi, Louisiana, etc. \nCheck out this source to find more information for your report.

Prior to 1967, many states had anti-miscegenation statutes.\n\n"Loving v. Virginia, 388 U.S. 1 (1967), was a case in which the United States Supreme Court declared Virginia's anti-miscegenation statute, the "Racial Integrity Act of 1924", unconstitutional, thereby ending all race-based legal restriction on marriage in the United States." The decision is based on the due process clause of the 14th Amendment.\n\nIt is technically possible that Alabama still has such a law on the books, but the law is unenforcable because it is unconstitutional.

Depends on the region of US.  The South was openly segregated through the '60's.  That's part of what the civil rights movement was about.

This speech was delivered by Willie Lynch on the bank of the James River in the colony of Virginia in 1712.  Lynch was a British slave owner in the West Indies.  He was invited to the colony of Virginia in 1712 to teach his methods to slave owners  there. The term "lynching" is derived
