    By the turn of the nineteenth century America was a new and prosperous young nation, being built upon principles of ‘liberty’ and ‘freedom’. By the middle of the decade the nation was struggling to hold true to these principles, as it denied rights to Native Americans, women, and Blacks. Although the injustice was greatly resisted: Native Americans fought to keep their land, women fought for equality, and blacks were faced with the unrelenting task of fighting for freedom. One of the most notable cases of blacks fighting for their rights happened in the 1850s with Dred Scott. Scott was an African American slave who sued for his freedom in 1857 in Dred Scott v. Sanford; the case is commonly known as the Dred Scott Decision.…

    During the period of antebellum, the driving force between sectionalism in the north and south was slavery, or the ownership by whites of blacks who did their work for them and were treated like animals rather than humans. After the civil war, blacks were emancipated, or freed, and were also granted citizenship in the 14th Amendment. During the time in American history known as Reconstruction, the south was being rebuilt after the damage it took during the Civil War, and blacks were beginning to gain more legal rights and equalities that they were previously denied. Reconstruction came to an end because once African Americans were considered citizens and were no longer considered slaves people began to believe that the issue over blacks was done, so the white discrimination continued, only now legalized. After Reconstruction, the social status of African Americans fell back into the lowliness that it was before the Civil War broke out.…

    Though African-Americans were granted their freedom ‘on paper’, very few Whites (mostly the Southerners) accepted the reality of African-American freedom. While the law may have stated that African-Americans were ‘freedmen’, states still tried to work their way around letting their former slave be completely free. To do so, states created what was known as “Black Codes”. The recognized states that created the “Black Codes” included “Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia”. Through these codes, these states held the newly freedmen in bondage, although it wasn’t technically acknowledged through the title of ‘slavery’.…

    The latter half of the nineteenth century saw a bitter and bloody Civil War fought over one underlying factor: slavery. Though many, including President Abraham Lincoln himself, claimed this war was to ‘protect the union’, the south clearly wanted slaves, and opposed anyone who could take their slaves away. To all, this contention for slavery brought up questions as to what American liberty and freedom really meant in relation to African Americans, questions that yielded an incredibly wide array of answers within the country. What caused this array of answers differed with the race, sex, socioeconomic demographic that Americans were a part of. These perspectives on liberty and freedom in relation to African Americans, though different because…

    In today’s modern society, it is hard to grasp the concept of the institution of slavery; however, it was a harsh reality for millions of African Americans during early United States history. Although slavery was an enormous and profitable system for the white Americans, growing zeal for the abolition of slavery increased leading up to the Civil War. Family values, white job protection, and Christian morals were the most influential underlying forces in the growing opposition and resentment toward slavery from 1776 to 1852. Family values were a key component in Southern culture, and in the years leading up to the Civil War, an increasing number of individuals realized the damagingly tight grip that the institution of slavery had on families. The second great awakening not only created a change in gender roles for women,…
