The reason why someone might argue that the federal government played a key role in making African Americans second class citizens is that, the federal government is the one who decided the rights of the African Americans like not allowing them to vote, and permitting slavery and segregation.

The Federal government itself supported segregationists principles in civil and military service for a long time (It was only in 1948 that Truman desegregated the armed forces). Much Federal legislation explicitly excluded coverage of types of jobs that were filled by blacks. This pushed African Americans to become “second class citizens. Segregation was a national problem and the Federal government failed to fight it for a long time.

Roman55 [17]
Women might work as clerks, teachers, and nurses, for example. As the nature of industries changed, new types of work evolved. Many women found work in the newly growing light industries, such as the production of electrical goods. The gender Disqualification Act of 1919 made it simpler for women to enroll in colleges and seek employment.

Because Cuba was located in a close proximity to USA, particularly to the state of Florida and many populous cities were in close to it.
