The Selective Act, also known as Selective Draft Act, was enacted on May 18, 1917 requiring all men between the ages of 21 and 30 to register with locally administered draft boards for military conscription by national lottery. The age limits for the draft were later extended to include all men from ages 18 to 45.

The Selective Draft Act was canceled with the end of World War I in 1918.

kirill [66]
They were segregated and forbidden from doing numerous things because of the jim crow laws. These laws established where they would be able to live and where not, where they would be able to go to school and where not, and in what manner would be they allowed to vote, which usually resulted with them not voting. They was a systematic racism scheme in the south to enable this.

They were found in the south because that's where slavery had been a dominating force and in response to the reconstruction era, the white racist governments from the south imposed numerous laws. Although they couldn't enslave african-american people, they would remove them from all spheres of society completely.

Jim Crow was a character made by white people which showed an african-american person who was depicted as a racial stereotype caricature which spread fast and reinforced the idea that black people were either stupid or are tricksters or are malicious or similar things. The set of laws that reinforced these ideas then was called Jim Crow Laws because of the caricature.

How did the age of exploration affect the slave labor?
Mumz [18]

"For the indigenous inhabitants of the Americas, the potential benefits of contact with other peoples were far outweighed by the brutality of European conquest and colonisation, and the ravages of European diseases that cut a swathe through the populations. The experiences of the Taino of Hispaniola and the Beothuk of Newfoundland painfully demonstrate the harm brought about by the Age of Exploration: both were among the peoples the Europeans first encountered in the Americas, and both are now extinct. We have yet to even fully understand what was lost in this devastation.

This era also saw large-scale European involvement in the slave trade. By 1820, it’s thought that more than 10 million west Africans had found themselves unwilling slaves in the Americas. Their own societies were destabilised and depopulated. For them, the Age of Exploration undoubtedly brought more harm than good.

For many Europeans, the answer was more often favourable. Europe was able to establish vast trading companies that frequently tapped into local trade systems and created a global commodities network. Conquest and colonisation drew wealth and power into the European sphere, allowing that region to assume a position of global dominance. In the process, Europe became richer than it had ever been before. Even some of the flora and fauna exchanged proved hugely profitable for Europe. Though the potato later became associated with the catastrophic Irish famine in the 1840s, the introduction of that one crop alone helped Europe sustain a huge labour force in the face of a massive population growth in the 18th century."
