During the reconstruction African Americans were freed by Emancipation Proclamation in 1863. The Thirteenth Amendment emancipated all U.S. slaves wherever they were. After the emancipation proclamation, two more years of war happened, by african americans troops. The defeat of the confederacy the nation was still not prepared for the full citizenship of african americans.
After the african americans were freed in the 1800 they made a document that provided the freed slaves to get a piece of land. They didnt just get a piece of land they had to pay interest to the white land owner, plus the tools were borrowed and they had to pay for that too. The crops they grew 50% of them had to go to the white land owner, another 25% was to be sold and the other 25% was for them to eat.
Martin Luther King, Jr. was one of the main figures in the Civil Rights Movement. He was born in 1929 and eventually led and influenced millions through his espousal of non-violent protest against segregation and racial discrimination. King was assassinated in 1968.
What was of Martin Luther, Malcome X and Rosa Parks influence the Civil Rights Movement. All three of them did somethign diffrent and influential. Martin protest, spoke out in confrences. Malcome X an African-American Muslim minister, public speaker, and human rights activist. To his admirers, he was a courageous advocate for the rights of African Americans, a man who indicted white America in the harshest terms for its crimes against black Americans. His detractors accused him of preaching racism, black supremacy, antisemitism, and violence.He has been described as one of the greatest, and most influential, African Americans in history. During the civil right movement whites had their own schools, bathrooms, dinners, ect. Blacks had their own school that were lower than white school, own bathrooms, dinners, etc. These three people influece alot of the good things we have now.
