Improving Race Relations in America
Written by: Connor Mullee
Slavery in America
Slaves were treated very poorly and unfair. A typical day of a slave consisted of working in the field from sunrise to sunset, even young children and the elderly were forced to work a full day. Most slaves would have Sunday, and holidays off. Slaves only ate one meal per-day, which make working in the fields incredibly harder. At the end of the day the slaves would be very tired although many slaves didn't have beds and they would sleep on planks of wood in a shack made of sticks with dirt floors. Slaves were treated unfairly from the whites.
Slavery ended in eighteen sixty five, with the Emancipation Proclamation. Also it was issued the 13th Amendment stated Slavery or involuntary servitude would be allowed in the United states. Slavery lasted eighty nine years. Slavery ended but, discrimination against African Americans did not. Slave codes existed and made it illegal to eat, go to school, and drink at the same water fountain as whites. There were also slave codes saying that on a bus, a white could take your seat and there was nothing you could do about but listen, also African Americans were not allowed to vote. And if you committed a crime you would not have a trial but go straight to jail.
