Segregation: White People and Emancipation Proclamation
Segregation
Segregation is bad; Segregation is the separation of blacks and whites. While white men had rights black men had none. They were mostly slaves and did whatever the white men told them to do. Back then the whites were in total control over everything and decided that blacks didn't need any rights that they were just property. They tried everything to get their rights but nothing would work.
It’s not right to separate by colors, blacks had different schools if they even let them attend school, and it was the worst possible. White kids had better schools and better houses. They also had to ride buses, until they let blacks onto the white buses but they had to sit in the front of the bus and had to let whites have priority. They couldn't tell the white man off or they would be killed.
Abraham Lincoln gave the speech called the “Emancipation Proclamation” which states “All persons held as slaves… shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free” This means that the slaves were going to be freed unless states would rebel. He promised it would have a positive outcome to giving the slaves their freedom.
In conclusion, at first everything was segregated and everyone was racist. When Abraham Lincoln gave addressed the Emancipation Proclamation he did what no president before him did he wanted the slaves to be free. The blacks were overjoyed and happy he did this. No one should have to live in a world where each color has a separate bathroom or school. Everyone is the same and we are all gods’ children and everyone should be treated equally.
