Violence against African-Americans has been ongoing. Thousands of public lynchings of this section of the population occurred during the said period. There are several stages in this process. According to some historians, the climax of lynching happened after the end of World War II, when thousands of African-Americans were lynched in various ways. Previously, this was the case because of the activism of the Negro population who sought to fight for greater rights for this part of the community. Blacks have been charged with various counts of theft, for being sexual predators, and many forfeiting their lives. The racial segregation and lynching of this section of the population were significantly reduced by the repeal of Jim Crown's segregation laws in 1964.

The Compromise of 1850 is an effort to resolve certain slavery disputes over new territories that belonged to the united states. The disagreements that occurred among the main protagonists of these events was one of the causes of the civil war. Speaking of slaves and their position after this event, it has not improved significantly in their favor. The Refugee Slave Act of 1850 required citizens to assist in the arrest of exiled slaves and denied enslaved people the right to a jury trial. By the same law, all citizens were required to assist in the capture of slaves in the event of an escape. Also, this law meant denying enslaved people the right to a jury trial. He also placed control of individual cases in the hands of federal commissioners, who were paid more for the return of suspected slaves than for their release, which led many to argue that the law was biased in favor of southern slaveholders.
