This was a great proposal for the two groups, but failed to work as planned. These two groups were seen as the inferior in the country, resulting in freedom not really being freedom. When migrating to cities, ex-slaves would apply for jobs in factories and other places. Some owners would not hire these people because of their race. African Americans were still negatively viewed and not accepted, even after the Civil War had ended. This was more prominent in the South, slavery was still wanted for cotton farms. Ex-slaves would be promised the same rights as other citizens, but would not receive them as Americans would not let them. African Americans were expected to have the utmost respect for other citizens. Whites were still the superior race and expected blacks to do whatever they said, even though they were no longer slaves. Ex-slaves would have to gain respect from others , that they would not earn until many years
