"Slavery in the United States ended in 1865 with the end of the Civil War. But that was not the end of the mistreatment of African Americans. By the turn of the century, a system had developed to keep African-Americans “in their place.” That place was always inferior—socially, economically, and politically—to whites. The system was called segregation—the separation of the two races."
