Answer:

The South did not offer a lot of opportunities for African-Americans. Both in rural areas and the cities, as they experienced significant prejudice.

Explanation:

While the Civil war ended and slavery was outlawed, the reconstruction era brought a lot of difficulties for the freed slaves. The black codes were laws that provided some rights to black people but also limited their right to a fair trial.

Many African-Americans migrated to Northern States, while the ones left over, continued to find work on the rural plantations.

The cities were few and not as industrialized as in the North and the work was limited to cleaning, or other labor work.

Former slaves, who had no skills and education, continued to work on the lands owned by White people but the only difference was that they could now 'rent' the land and work on it.

Many slaves were able to take over land from their former masters after the end of the War, but this was quickly reversed.

Extreme poverty among African Americans was common in rural areas.

What were some reasons for the French and Indian war

Natasha_Volkova [10]

The colonists called it the French and Indian War, and it permanently shifted the global balance of power. By the mid-18th century, both the British and French wanted to extend their North American colonies into the land west of the Appalachian Mountains, known then as the Ohio Territory. I hope I helped! :)
