Over ten thousand slaves populated Clay Hills. Civil War reached Mississippi unexpectedly hitting Corinth first. Not all families suffered the same during this time. Despite the Civil War ending in 1806, whites still had their own opinions and groups. One of the most deadly group at the time was the KKK. The KKK
is an acronym for the Ku Klux Klan this is a radical group that terrorized blacks. Although the Civil Rights movement ended over fifty years ago, we still have some racial issues, maybe not as big as they use to be. There were still some racial issues, black’s feared violence and they couldn’t afford to lose their jobs. After the Civil Right some things settled, Clay Hills was showing good signs of growth and development economically that they though one day they could become a state. Some present-day effects in the United States are many people go to separate churches, separate neighborhoods, at times people also title schools like “that school is a black’s school” making it racially divided.
I personally think that racial division is a mental place there isn’t much the government can do with this. We can come in one and show that we are stronger together, the past that has happened in Mississippi shows that we can grow out of things. Considering racial division being such an immense problem there is so little we could do. Lawmakers can fund community events. This can bring society together. Some things that I can do to support this is hosting community events, volunteering at town events, and sharing the love in my own community. I can take care of my town that way the government does not have to worry about fixing but worry about funding events.
The benefits this will give Mississippians we can come together. This will bring us to a brighter future. We can’t build a utopia but becoming one and helping one another can bring us to a brighter end and future. Our community will be clean and the student will have a good education.
