Race in America During the Civil Rights Movement
Hello and welcome back to my blog! This blog's topic is once again on race in America. Obviously, race has been a major factor in the US for many years. There has been slavery, and even after that was over, there as still plenty of equality. The Civil Rights movement was an attempt to give equality to African Americans in America. No matter how hard the road was to equality, many black men and women were determined to accomplish it. Many different actions were taken, some examples are bus boycotts and the March on Washington. Many historical figures took part in this movement like Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks. Article http://www.history.com/topics/black-history/civil-rights-movement the Civil Rights Movement is explained in depth. The arrticle talks about a lot of events that some people may not know of. It also talks about what actions blacks were taking and in turn what actions whit people were taking against the movement. It is also explained that the Civil Rights Movement did have a positive outcome, not just an attempt. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was an enormous jump for equality. The United States outlawed discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. I like this article because it gives you a viewpoint that a lot of articles fail to give. The article gives good insight on The Civil Rights Movement and race in America.
Thank you for your time I appreciate your attention,

Race During the Civil War
Hello, this blogs topic is about race in America, like always. This one is special though, this time period was the civil war. This was a huge point in time for race in America. One of the biggest reasons for the war was slavery. The divided between whites and African Americans was never more prominent than this time. African Americans during this time period got three very important Amendments added to the Constitution. The 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments. They freed slaves, gave African Americans citizenship, and gave them the right to vote. In the article, http://www.historytoday.com/susan-mary-grant/pride-and-prejudice-american-civil-war Susan Mary-Grant talks about black soldiers during the war. She describes how both races of troops felt. The war was described as "the white man's war". Black troops did not want to fight in this war, but some had to. Others fought for their freedom. Southern fighters had to worry about Union soldiers fighting them and slaves trying to escape to the north from the south. After the civil war African Americans got many more rights, as described by the new amendments. This made the country as a whole become one. Thank you for reading my blog!
