How did the views of white and black Southerners differ concerning the future of African Americans?
A.A. started to get power to vote and started being allies with other white organizations but the souths white community wanted to take the a.a. power and restore the home rule. Under slavery the A.A. were separated from all they knew( friends and relatives).

I agree with you on African American have the right to vote and be allies with the white. To build on your ideas that African American also have power in the Republican Party
ReplyDeleteThis makes me wonder if African Americans are now equal to the other white organizations.
ReplyDeletewhere is the source? I disagree with this because African Americans had to go through almost 150 years of segregation and did not have their freedom!
