Life of Blacks After the Civil War
Dopo la guerra civile il presidente Lincoln fu ucciso.

Ma i neri non erano considerati come i bianchi, infatti non godevano degli stessi diritti dei bianchi, non potevano sedersi sui posti nei pulman riservati ai bianchi, non potevano entrare negli stessi edifici dei bianchi e non potevano frequentare le stesse scuole dei bianchi.
