Blacks, who were referred to as "Negroes" at that time, were treated completely differently from whites, completely stripping them from basic human rights and functions.
Blacks were subjected to abuse from hate groups, like the Confederates or the Klu Klux Klan. 
An example of which is when sticks of dynamite were being thrown at blacks. This led to black families fortifying their homes to protect themselves from such attacks.
Another common example is when signs were put up at public restrooms and restaurants, to separate whites from blacks.

Congressman John Lewis, who grew up in rural Alabama, said he tasted the bitter fruits of racism;

"I didn't like it. I saw those signs that said white men, colored men, white women, colored women, white waiting, colored waiting."

Because of the rising demand of labor, white European settlers in the Americas (mostly poor Europeans as it was a cheap and effective labor source) used African slaves. In around 1619, a Dutch ship brought 20 Africans to Virginia as slaves; which caused slavery to quickly spread. It has been estimated by some historians, although not accurate, that around 6 to 7 million slaves were imported to the Americas; which deprived the African continent of its most ]]> 2019-02-20 06:09:35 UTC https://padlet.com/teamtornadox3/yd1f2s7sxeg7/wish/333051729
