segregation:the separation or isolation of a race, class, or ethnic group by enforced or voluntary residence in a restricted area, by barriers to social intercourse, by separate educational facilities, or by other discriminatory means
Slavery was officially outlawed in America in 1865 but this was far from the end of it. It would take many years and a great struggle to see black Americans treated in the same way as white Americans
After the United States abolished slavery, black Americans continued to be marginalized through enforced segregated and diminished access to facilities, housing, education—and opportunities.
The Civil Rights Movement was a struggle for social justice for African Americans in the mid-20th century. Long before the movement began, the northern victory in the American Civil War had abolished the enslavement of African Americans in the 1770s. While the Thirteenth Amendment abolished slavery, the Fourteenth Amendment provided citizenship to African Americans, and the Fifteenth Amendment guaranteed the right to vote.
