How was the life in north different from the south?
In the North prejudice and racism werent practiced as much as in the South. The North integrated schools and didnt segregate races. Although some whites' personalities havent changed about blacks during the civil war, their policies of racism werent as harsh as the south. The South enacted the Jim Crow Laws. These were a set of laws that segregated blacks and whites. They had colored watering ftns, colored schools, and seperated everything, and gave the colored people bad quality. If a man even looked at a white person the wrong way they could be killed. (See Emmet Till Case) Southerners basically hated blacks. So they treated them bad. The North was more open to black and whites together and were nicer than the south.
Why were blacks encouraged to move to the north after the civil war?
Possibly due to the hostility towards the blacks that exsisted in the South and the laws which were created that still did not allow the black people to have the same rights as the White people. Yes, it was now illegal to own a black person as property actwe the war, but other laws were created whch ostrisized the blacks and made sure they were not allowed the sane rights as any whites. In the North these rules did not exsists and the blacks really were free, not just technically free as they were in the South.
What happened to racism after slavery?
For the most part racism remained the same or as some historians will note, they believed it increased. In the North, as an example, most people there did not like slavery. When slavery was ended some people in the North, expressed more racism as now more freed Blacks had migrated to the North. All types of ways to keep freed slaves below the social and political level of whites were used to deny Blacks jobs and the right to vote.
Did non whites fight against the north in the civil war?
Of course!Some rich white men sent their slaves to fight for them, and others brought their slaves with them to work in the army behind the lines, and with them in battle.Some free blacks also fought for the South.
Why were whites against blacks having the right to vote?
They weren't afraid. I think you misunderstand the discrimination that was taking place. They didn't see them as having civil rights and the right to vote. There are still people today who feel this way.
