Question

Black Americans Today about 30 million of the 252 million people in the USA are black. They used to live mostly in the south, working in the cotton and Tabaco fields. After the civil war, white southerners were angry that they have lost the war and angry that slaves were now free. They showed a lot of prejudices against black people. Some white joined the Ku Klux Klan, groups of men who dressed in white, covered their heads so that no one knew them, and went out to beat and murder black people. Black men could not vote until 1870, and even when they got the right to vote they often did not use it because they were frightened.



In the twentieth century, black people began to travel to the cities of the north and later, to California, to look for work, so there are now more black people in the north than in the south.
