Answer 1

You posed an interesting question. Starting in 1865, at the end of a terrible war that drained the resources of the entire country and devistated all of the South, where most black people lived, to the end of the Great Depression, the United States endured mass poverty, The Chicago Fire, the Indian Wars in the West, the plight of widows and orphans of the Civil War, the mass migration of many black people from the South to the North, tearing apart families. Except for a very few industrialists and business people, everyone in America struggled to survive during that period. The blacks suffered more because they lost the only homes they knew and the only means of supporting their families on the plantations. As horrible as slavery had been, it was a way of living that provided basic needs that were not made available after the war. No plans had been made to absorb them into the economic and social order (or disorder) that followed the war. It is a testament to the strength of the black families of that era that so much progress was made during that period before what is now known as the Civil Rights Era.

Answer 3

What were the hardships, we still have hardships. You know on my job I have a degree for the position I'm working in, but the other people do not, but I'm making less than they are. I'm not going to start that racist stuff, I have better since than that, but it is true, we still have hardships. I never stay off work, put in a lot of overtime and never got written up, but the guy who is white and is just the oppsite of me got the promotion, this is the 3rd promotion I have lost against someone who don't have a degree. Beleive me, I'm not a racist, something is wrong there.
