Life drastically changed for African Americans after the Civil War. For one, they were now free -- after Lincoln freed the slaves in his Emancipation Proclamation. In the years that followed, little by little, freedoms were given. The black codes were overturned, and African Americans could vote and raise their families. But discrimination in the South was still relevant, and treatment towards African Americans in the former Confederate states worsened.
The most populated European nations are Russia, Germany, Turkey, and France. Hope this helps! : )
France helped provide troops, money and military leadership to the Americans. They made a treaty of alliance which means they were allies against Great Britain.
