The thirteenth amendment.\n13th amendment- 1865\nEnd of slavery\nThis amendment ended slavery in the United States.  Slavery was no longer legal in the U.S. or any land that belonged to the U.S.\n\nHope this helps!\nThe Bill of Rights:\nhttp://usinfo.state.gov/usa/infousa/facts/funddocs/billeng.htm

The civil War and the wars of the twentieth century are definetly turning points in the growth of civil rights. For example the end of the civil war along with the 13TH amendment bring cahanges in America. During reconstruction blacks are protected by the Freedmens Bureau which helps them out toget their voting rights. During reconstruction thanks to this bureau and both carpetbaggers and scalawags the 14th and 15th amendments are passed which define citizenship and male suffrage.With the hayes-tilden election comes the crime of 77 which allows the KKK to take power in the south but not for long because president Grant enforces  a force bill which ends the klan, but not forever. Then in ww2 there were many riots because blacks weren't allowed to be mixed with whites. This created the civil rights movement with all kinds of awr taking place like the korean and vietnam. Sit ins and freedom riders would help the movement.

I think a big part of it is because back when racism was still an accepted thing by most people and segregation was all over legally if you had a baby that had even one drop of "black blood" in it that baby was legally clasified as black.

Wow Chino. I didn't think anyone would have the nuts to say that. Ditto and kudos. I think that for the most part, racism has been completely turned around. I think the majority of the racism now is black on white. There will never be equality as long as there is ignorance (in both blacks and whites.)

Interesting cartoon, and interesting question!\n\nI have a slightly different spin.  I'm in my 40s and in some ways I think society is MORE segregated than 20 or 30 years ago.\n\nYes, I believe groups self-segregate along racial and cultural lines.  One of my little pet theories (others have said it too) is that having 500 cable channels and many radio stations, websites, etc. means we can all select who and what we want to see, hear or interact with.  Back about 30 years ago, there were far fewer media outlets - everyone pretty much experienced the same thing.  There are far fewer COMMON CULTURAL EXPERIENCES today.  Top 40 radio in 1966 would play rock, folk, Motown, etc.  How many hard rock stations now play rap, or vice-versa?\n\nAlso, there are now racially and culturally segregated dorms on college campuses, something that would never fly when I was in school.\n\nSo yes, I think society is in some ways more segregated, although of course great progress has been made.\n\nPeople should do what they want, but this separatism concerns me.

In 1910- 1950 no black was treated fairly whatsoever. There were the negroe leagues for baseball and probably seperate leagues for other sports. From, 1951-1990 there isnt as much discrimination, but there was still some.

abolition\n\nslavery was abolished in america, formally, in 1863 with lincoln's emancipation proclamation.\n\nslaves were not actually freed, however, until the north beat the south in the civil war.  even after that, texas still had many slaves until june of 1865 - the day they were freed is celebrated as "juneteenth."

When a government statement that crossing of the border would be permitted was broadcast on November 9, 1989, masses of East Germans approached and then crossed the wall, and were joined by crowds of West Germans in a celebratory atmosphere. The Wall was subsequently destroyed by a jubilant public over a period of several weeks, and its fall was the first step toward German reunification, which was formally concluded on October 3, 1990.

YES! The trend in Europe and America--for the last 100 years, or so-- is toward more acceptance of differing lifestyles. I'm old enough to remember segregation. And drug use was totally non-accepted back in the 1950s.

The laws of the 1960 help race relations because finally the mainly white ruling class of our government heard the cries of  injustice and acted to help its citizens. The laws made it a policy that the US would no longer treat a portion of its citizen as second class forcing the culture to adapt as well.

In California, I am ashamed to say, Japanese-Americans were put in concentration camps. \nMany Japanese-Americans served with valor in Europe.\n\nAfrican-Americans served with distinction in the U.S. Army, but in segregated units.  At home, the laws of the time supported segregation by calling it "separate but equal" .  It wasn't.\n\nWomen were admitted to many jobs formerly held only by men.\nLook up "Rosie  the Riveter."
