The Civil War and Today...

The Civil War is now leading to Today's time.

Today there’s are a couple of things going on that took place during the Civil War including Racism, Slavery, and Segregation.

The Civil War started around 1861. During the Civil War slavery, racism, and segregation took a huge role. Racism was basically to the African-Americans. Slavery was basically in role by African-Americans. Segregation was basically separating the whites and the blacks. Today they’re still happening in several places around the world.

Racism started in the Atlantic around 1502 to 1888, in America it started in the 1600’s. In the Civil War racism took place and African Americans were mostly discriminated by their race because people saw them as being weak. “The north was against slavery because they had factories to replace the hard labors of farm workers. The South wasn't as wealthy and so they used slaves in place of factories. The most important role racism and race took was that since the North was against the slavery they decided that the black slaves can travel down to there land and instead of living there, fight for their right for freedom. The black slaves fought against the south in place of most white men for freedom and because the white men didn't want use waste themselves.” this quote explains all the information of why racism started and how it took place during the Civil War. Today racism still takes place here in the United States and around the world. In the United States Racism still takes place, there is many African-American discriminated the most about 66.5%, 23% of whites, 1% of Asians, And 9% of Hispanics. ARIANNAH's Statement "Racism played a huge role in the civil war, and it also takes a role in today’s society. Of course back when the civil war was happening, I don’t think they looked at black people as being in a different race then them, they looked at the as more of a different species." is really strong because from what I’ve read this is basically how Black people were treated back then because the War was going on and they didn't pay attention to the rights that they needed.

Slavery took place in the civil war. Blacks were basically the slaves around that time. There were plenty of slaves in the civil war and usually they would be African-Americans. “Herbert Aptheker a report to the governor of Virginia on a salve conspiracy in 1802: “I have just received information that three white persons are concerned in the plot ; and they have arms and ammunition concealed under their houses, and were to give aid when the negroes should begin”” Black people sometimes helped poor white people. Today there is slavery around Southeast Asia and Eastern Europe; Usually they are sex slaves. Its Illegal here in the United States. This Quote From Amanda’s Blog "The impact of this case was that supposedly it set back the slaves even more time from having their freedom." makes me wonder because the slaves really didn’t have any freedom because white people were very gritty and wanted them for themselves. "I think the slaves had a right to rebel because I can see how they wanted to be free and be treated as equals. Especially after the Declaration of Independence was written I definitely think they had a right to freedom." i agree with AMANDA's statement because Blacks also had the rights as normal U.S citizens.The Civil War have so much in common with today. Many things have happened since the civil war and many things will happen in the future. There issues that will be going for years and years and there could be a way to stop it but its only a matter of the people.
