It was very common in American as a lot of white people would use African Americans as their slaves. The most common form of work the slaves would do was pick cotton as cotton textiles were one of the first products to be produced industrially. The Slaves were treated as 'animal property' and worked and lived in very harsh conditions. They were only considered 3/5 of a human and physically tortured. Some of the benefits of slavery were, it made northern merchants rich, helped free people from debts, and without slaves, the industrial revolution might not have even started. ]]> 2021-10-26 09:54:27 UTC https://padlet.com/menon52150/dtnfzop1rtiz5t1b/wish/1844481238 1700-1808 menon52150 https://padlet.com/menon52150/dtnfzop1rtiz5t1b/wish/1844481910 Most extreme period of slavery]]> 2021-10-26 09:54:52 UTC https://padlet.com/menon52150/dtnfzop1rtiz5t1b/wish/1844481910 1803-1808 menon52150 https://padlet.com/menon52150/dtnfzop1rtiz5t1b/wish/1844482857 35,000 slaves were traded off in South Carolina]]> 2021-10-26 09:55:24 UTC https://padlet.com/menon52150/dtnfzop1rtiz5t1b/wish/1844482857 1808 menon52150 https://padlet.com/menon52150/dtnfzop1rtiz5t1b/wish/1844484357 Slavery was outlawed but sill occured domestically]]> 2021-10-26 09:56:21 UTC https://padlet.com/menon52150/dtnfzop1rtiz5t1b/wish/1844484357 1831 menon52150 https://padlet.com/menon52150/dtnfzop1rtiz5t1b/wish/1844485593 Nat Turner went against the whites and lead a group of his followers and killed 51 whites]]> 2021-10-26 09:57:07 UTC https://padlet.com/menon52150/dtnfzop1rtiz5t1b/wish/1844485593 13th Amendment: 1865(6th of December) menon52150 https://padlet.com/menon52150/dtnfzop1rtiz5t1b/wish/1844504801 Slavery was abolished in the US(with some exceptions). Former slaves changed their names, found new jobs, moved to areas of a bigger African American population, and united with separated relatives. This did not apply to prisoners, they had to continue doing labour without pay. Also, Jim Crows Laws were put into place - separate facilities for different races(segregation)

The main reason why it happened was due to the fact that the African Americans were segregated and the spread of racist ideology. Furthermore, due to sharecropping, African Americans were forced to make a living on little land, thus reducing their economic opportunity. The main impact of the great migration is that it began a period of raising the awareness of African American political activists. The African Americans built places for themselves, actively going against racial prejudice and economic, 
political and social challenges to start a black urban culture

During this time, many African-Americans migrated from the South to Northern cities, seeking economic and creative opportunities. Within their communities, creative expression became an outlet for writers, musicians, artists, and photographers, mainly in Harlem, New York and around that area.]]> 2021-10-26 12:07:57 UTC https://padlet.com/menon52150/dtnfzop1rtiz5t1b/wish/1844712489 1890-1920 menon52150 https://padlet.com/menon52150/dtnfzop1rtiz5t1b/wish/1844715214 African Americans were forced to make a living working the land because of the black codes but due to the crop damage in the 1890s, early 1900's they made very little money. During the first world war, there was a shortage of workers so they pushed more African Americans to go to the north and work there. Due to them being treated better there was a large migration north, however, there was still a lot of segregation in the north. Due to all this migration and segregation, it caused these African Americans to create smaller communities on their own which lead to the creation of Harlem, and eventually also the civil rights movement.]]> 2021-10-26 12:09:16 UTC https://padlet.com/menon52150/dtnfzop1rtiz5t1b/wish/1844715214 Civil Rights Movement: 1954-1968 menon52150 https://padlet.com/menon52150/dtnfzop1rtiz5t1b/wish/1844755116 The civil rights movement in the United States was preceded by a decades-long campaign by African Americans and anyone that didn't like the racist ideology, to end legalized racial discrimination, disenfranchisement and racial segregation in the United States.]]> 2021-10-26 12:26:07 UTC https://padlet.com/menon52150/dtnfzop1rtiz5t1b/wish/1844755116 The Great Depression: 1929-1939 menon52150 https://padlet.com/menon52150/dtnfzop1rtiz5t1b/wish/1844765327 The stock market became very popular, but this boom was unsustainable and led to the 1929 Wall Street Crash. This resulted in a lot of unemployment esp. amongst blacks (unemployment at 50%) this led to a desire for authoritarian governments in some nations (ex: nazis). The effects of the great depression were felt around the world because the world had become increasingly globalised by that time. In 1929, when the American stock market crashed and the depression began, European economies were badly affected because they were borrowing loans and getting financing from America to recover from WWI, which they could no longer do. This sparked a recession in European economies, and over
the world because most places were colonies of a European country at the time. The US implemented Tariffs against goods which also sparked trade wars and negative economic impacts worldwide. Japan, many countries in South America, Britain, France and others experienced recessions,
some milder than others.]]> 2021-10-26 12:30:11 UTC https://padlet.com/menon52150/dtnfzop1rtiz5t1b/wish/1844765327 Black Tuesday and Black Thursday: 24-29 Oct 1929 menon52150 https://padlet.com/menon52150/dtnfzop1rtiz5t1b/wish/1844773905 Black Tuesday - 29 Oct 1929: Start of the Sock Market Crash, panic selling of stocks, DOW dropped 11% at the open, bankrupted many investors, incited a painful sell-off of stocks Black Thursday- 24 Oct 1929 - Caused by too much debt used to buy stocks, protectionist trade policies and low economic growth, one of the largest single-day drops of share price in the market history, DOW dropped 12%, Market lost $30 billion in value over Black Monday and Tuesday]]> 2021-10-26 12:33:41 UTC https://padlet.com/menon52150/dtnfzop1rtiz5t1b/wish/1844773905
