Which was not part of the system of legal discrimination against blacks passed by southern states after the Civil War? A. Reconstruction B. black codes C. Jim Crow D. separate but equal
have any idea?
I was thinking D but i am unsure
separate but equal was a discriminatory law passed against african americans that created "blacks only" and "whites only" public facilities and such
think rosa parks—she can still sit on the bus ("equal") but not with the white people ("separate")
any other guesses?
B maybe??
Hmm no
can you tell me what Reconstruction was?
hold on
Reconstruction generally refers to the period in United States history immediately following the Civil War in which the federal government set the conditions that would allow the rebellious Southern states back into the Union
yep, so that was a good thing for freed slaves and African Americans in the South in general, right
the federal government was helping them
yes
so do you think that Reconstruction was part of a discriminatory system AGAINST african americans?
no because they were trying to help them.
exactly :)
so the answer is...?
A right.
yaaaassssss good job :)
woo hoo thanks for the help :)
