Suffering :(

 

    Ever since the first Africans sent foot to the "New World" they became slaves and this slaves were mistreted and struggling for happiness. For centuries African Americans have been treated as a second-class citizens by the United States. Actually they did not considered citizens at all. Africans were always mistreated since they moved to America. They lived poorly since they were slaves and lived harshly. The only ways Americans treated their slaves was with anger and pain.

   Slaves were whipped and treated harshly by their owners because everybody saw them as animals or savages. They used to have to rights at all, they were not considered citizen nor humans. After the slave era  the North allowed them to have rights and considered citizens they even were part of the army. The South still had slaves and Lincoln was trying to abolish it. Then the South and North united, so more and more rights were done for African Americans. The white people were angered and offended black people even to the point that they had to use violence. Many African Americans were hurt and murdered because the white people did not accepted them. One of the most violent events against colored people was the KKK which killed and tortured many colored people because of their race. After the KKK fell African Americans were free with no worries of being harmed.

Now they have rights and yes some are fewer but they have more since they first step foot in US. They had some restrictions like sitting in front of a bus or  trying to argue with a white men but this is all done thanks to the black community which got out from the hole they were in fighting for their rights. One true leader was Martin Luther King Jr. which helped his community to have more rights and be respected. Now they live equally to other although some perople do not agree with this
