Notion 3 : Seats and forms of power (African Americans)
The Declaration of independence and the Jim crow laws : An american paradox
Today I'm going to talk about the notion Seats and Forms of power and my issue is "Is the declaration of
independence and the jim crow laws an american paradox?"To begin with I guess it would be appropriate to explain
how the notion is related to the issue and in order to do that i'll have to go back in the 19th when Lincoln abolished

well what i mean by that is that despite the fact that blacks were officially relieved from slavery they suffered from other
kind of injuries like discrimination,poverty,violence there were many organizations,events(democratic party-klu klu klux
klan 1866- basically hanged black people and praised supremacy of white people and all that whithout any punishment
until 1871-outlawed) this kind of violence especially took place in the south which was totally against the abolition of
slavery and didn't hesitate to express clearly their feelings or more precisely their anger about the african americans
existence on their territory,so the government thought that a solution had to be found to content everyone or at least
almost everyone and respect the constitution so that's how came "The jim crow laws" (named after a racist song jump

related to my issue , in this dark time there was a big struggle of power between the blacks and the whites.
So in aim to respond to my issue I've
