THE CONTEXT p 4

HARRIET TUBMAN, a black slave, is very famous because she escaped from a southern state to a free northern state in 1849 and helped hundreds of other slaves to be free.

The AMERICAN CIVIL WAR started in 1861 and finished in 1865. The northern states fought against the southern states because the northern states wanted to abolish slavery. Finally, the Northern states won the war.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN freed the slaves with the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863 and slavery was abolished in 1865. He was assassinated by a pro-slavery rebel in 1865.

The southern states implemented laws that kept black people separate from white people. These laws were called the JIM CROW LAWS and this system of separation between races was called segregation.

THE REACTIONS p 5

]]> 2018-05-24 13:54:07 UTC https://padlet.com/dhrguinet/they_fought_for_freedom/wish/263354082 SEGREGATION dhrguinet https://padlet.com/dhrguinet/they_fought_for_freedom/wish/263644668 Segregation is the act of separating people, based on race or gender for example.
In the USA, in the 1950s, the Jim Crow Laws pretended to make sure that this segregation was not unfair, that Whites and Blacks were treated the same (« separate but equal »). But in reality, Blacks were treated as second-class citizens. They were forbidden to use the same drinking fountains as Whites, they were not allowed to go to the same school, they couldn't go to the same movie theatres...
