It's really a matter of opinion Slavery was abolished by Abraham Lincoln They could get jobs doing what they wanted and weren't controlled by people But The Ku Klux Klan made their lives hell. They killed some, lynched others, burned them etc. Generally not very nice to them Their were laws made that divided white and black even more So I think, no it didn't.At least on the plantations they were quite safe. Their lives were in danger after.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
