Segregation of Negroes in America

Note: This America is not the modern America that most of us know

In This blog post i will explain what is Segregation.

Segregation was also another way in which the whites mistreated the Negroes but is definetely less cruel than lynching. First of all, Segregation means that the blacks had to use a different set of utilities from the whites as well as other facilities like toilets and schools. The whites were usually given the better utilities and facilities while the black were left with what the whites thought was not fit for them and only fit for African Americans. This meant that the Negroes had all the second rate things such as wooden houses instead of solid houses.
The idea of giving blacks their own facilites was introduced because it was decided that the blacks should be treated more fairly than the way they were treated now but because of the way the whites hated the Negroes it became a way to mistreat the African Americans by giving them the lousier things.
