Segregation and racism had a huge impact on African-Americans in the South during the late 1800s and early 1900’s. One example of this would be public schools. The Plessy vs Ferguson case established the idea that there can be separate facilities for blacks and whites as long as they are “equal.” Despite this law, schools for African-Americans often had lower quality buildings and textbooks.
Another example of how African- Americans were limited during this time was when voting. Southern states passed laws such as a poll tax or literacy tests to prevent African-Americans from voting. A poll tax was a sum of money required to vote. This greatly affected African- Americans especially during the 1800’s because many of them did not have a lot of paper money due to their previous status as slaves. The literacy tests were extremely difficult reading comprehension tests that African-Americans usually failed during the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. This was due to the fact that schooling was limited for this group of people.

Back in the 19th century, Americans were moving farther west searching for lands and riches. When the Chinese immigrants, Mexican Americans and the white settlers collided, both Chineses and Mexicans had to deal with harsh discrimination in the quest for a better life. In order to build stronger communities, both ethnic groups decided to move into urban areas where their language and tradition had a chance to survive. While the Chinese relocated to cities such as San Francisco and banded together to provide social aid services, health facilities, education, and worship centers to their community. Mexican Americans also relocated to isolated neighborhoods in growing urban areas like Los Angeles. Even though, the Chinese and Mexican people still had to face discrimination in terms of pay and work conditions, they built stronger communities by sticking together and helping each other as they could.
