Excerpt from Term Paper:

Explain how slavery affected American political economic and social history from the early 1600s through the Reconstruction period after the Civil War Conclude your essay by describing the condition of race relations in the U S in 1877

...... From a social standpoint, black people in America have always been viewed as an inferior race of people. Throughout the 1600s blacks were not treated equally and the establishment of a legal paradigm in which black people could be treated as nothing more than property, perpetuated these ideas of inferiority. During reconstruction (1866-1877) American society was a difficult place for blacks to exist; black people did not know how to be free and white people did not know how to live with and around black people who were not slaves (Reconstruction and its Aftermath). There was often a great deal of tension and hostility toward blacks because White slave owners no longer had unrestricted access to free labor which greatly reduced or in some cases completely abolished the profitability of their plantations (Reconstruction and its Aftermath). By 1877, racial tensions were still apparent and black people were sill viewed and inferior. Some blacks moved to the north but mass migration to the north did not occur until much later in American history
