Alright so here is my challenge AH members. The Nadir period lasted from 1890s-1940s throughout this time period racism grew out of control restrict blacks civil and economic rights. Africans became second class citizens and in this time americans in both north and south joined hands . Blacks, Native Americans, Chinese were excluded from jobs in both north and the south. Black teams which used to play in the MLB were banned during this period(Yeah Jackie wasnt the first black player in the MLBs). Blacks portrayed as incompetent and stupid in ads and pictures and t.v shows, in many places north and south From Myakka city to Medford Oregon whites attacked their neighbors who were black leaving towns all white:eek: Communities with no black population passed ordinances saying that if a black dared stay for more than one night they would would be put to death:eek:This created thousands of sundown towns in Illinois, Indiana, Oregon and several Northern states:eek:They also excluded Catholics, Chinese, and Jews. Entire areas in places like Cumberland Michigan became devoid of blacks.. Africans were excluded from juries. Due to this Africans lost hope and crime and instability increased. In Tusla for excample whites dropped Dynamite from Planes on black ghettos.
So fellow members what sort of change must America go through in order to prevent this period from occurring. If this terrible period never occurs how different would American history be?
