How did african americans gain more rights?what was their reaction what rights were gained?
I could not type up the full response to this question without spending days on it, so I’ll just give you a quick rundown of how African Americans gained more rights. 1863: Emancipation Proclamation (freed slaves in Confederate territory) 1865-1877: Reconstruction, 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments (ended slavery; guaranteed citizenship; ensured the right to vote), Civil Rights Act of 1875 (later declared unconstitutional). 1954 and 1955: Brown v Board of Education of Topeka and Brown II (ended de jure segregation). 1964: Civil Rights Act 1965: Voting Rights Act 1971: Swann v Charlotte-Mecklenburg (busing to integrate schools) Well these are the ones I could come up with off the top of my head…
