7 0

Compromising with the old Southern aristocracy, allowing them to seize control and pass the Jim Crow legislation that largely negated emancipation of the slaves leaving them little more than poor, second class citizens for the next century. In the end the Civil War was not resolved until the Civil Rights Movement of the late 50s and early 60s succeeded in repealing these Jim Crow Laws that held the Black population down.

True or false in the civil war The north was afraid that African-American soldiers will turn against whites if they were armed

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

False, this was the south's belief

Explanation:

The south was afraid that the African Americans would turn against their slave owners since the war was to end slavery and the question of why African Americans would fight to keep slavery going was asked frequently in the South. Since the North abolished slavery, they had very little to fear from the African Americans. In fact, the African Americans were the majority of the fighters in the Northern side. Hope this helps!
