Slavery has made a substantial impact on American history and was the main factor that had provoked the Civil War. Though the outcomes of the war did grant freedom to the slaves, they were not given any rights as humans. Freedmen were continuously oppressed by the ?superior? whites, causing ?freedom? to just be a title with no meaning. Freedmen also faced adversities and disadvantages from racism, segregation, disdain, poverty, and violence for another century before they received equality. Although there were many attempts to bring equality to the blacks in the United States after they gained their freedom, there was minimal support due to the hatred fueled by the differences of skin color.
