African Americans were always put in a difficult position in history; whether it was slavery, racism, segregation, or lack of human rights, there's no question about whether or not they were prejudiced against. However, things were different before and after slavery.

Before African Americans were brought into slavery, they mostly populated Africa. Their colonies weren't very far along, and the colonies in Europe, North America, and South America were much farther along in technology.  African Americans are descended from various ethnic groups, mostly from western and central Africa, including the Sahel. A smaller number came from eastern and southeastern Africa. The major ethnic groups that the enslaved Africans belonged to included the Hausa, Bakongo, Igbo, Mandé, Wolof, Akan, Fon, Yoruba, and Makua, among many others.

After the long fight against slavery, African Americans still had a long way to go for equal rights. In 1865, slavery was officially ended in the United States, now known as the Emancipation Proclamation. Although slavery was outlawed, that never stopped white citizens from showing a painfully obvious distaste for colored citizens. Transportation, education, restaurants, and public restrooms were all separated by color of the skin, leading to years of underlying racism. Currently, African Americans have equal human rights, but no one can deny that we as a nation still have a long way to go for equality.

Who were the voyageurs, (i know that they were french canadians btw)
storchak [24]
<span>"Voyageur", the French word for traveler, refers to the contracted employees who worked as canoe paddlers, bundle carriers, and general laborers for fur trading firms from the 1690s until the 1850s. This is why voyageurs were also known as "engagés", a loose French expression translated as "employees". The voyageurs, who were under the direction of a clerk (commis), were distinguished from "freemen", in other words, people who trapped and traded furs on their own account without being bound by a contract. Though it is true that the majority of voyageurs were French-Canadian, there were those who were English, German, and Iroquois</span>
