In 1876 the federal government got away from 3 southern states and they left the blacks at the "care" of local governments. After the country tried to recover from the war there was a lot of hectiness going on among the people about blacks' rights and suffrage. Roosevelt invited Booker T. Washington for dinner at the White House. Many Southern Democrats disliked this and made sure everyone knew about it. President Taft declared that black people should not be able to participate in coming or any type of politics. The Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover administrations didn't let the black people come near American politics and they wouldn't let them be involved in any politics. Franklin D. Roosevelt didn't want Northern Democrats to be involved in racial conflicts because of black Americans. Roosevelt couldn't afford this kind of fight to happen so he stopped it from happening in the first place.

Jim Crow was a segregation system that was developed in Southern states after the Civil War. The Congress finally passed the Civil Rights Act and it declared that it was illegal to discriminate according to race. Because of this act more black people became involved in politics and had the right to vote. Soon after though they started to lose the right to vote and to be involved in politics again. Legislation was being passed on to protect the black people so democrats tried to get republicans to help them fight for their rights. Many black people's concerns or rights were just ignored by the legislators. The legislators cared about their own stuff for their own people rather than for others who were not of their kind. Southerners used racism as an excuse for another re-election. The Civil Rights Act in 1964 was a lot more powerful than what they tried before. The discrimination of use became less in most places such as libraries, bookstores, business places, etc. Everything that passed the law and ended Jim Crow's act was the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

The end of Jim Crow was done and now the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments gave black people freedom and a right to vote. Before the status of black people was low and whites didn't consider them the same but now during Reconstruction
they were starting to improve. If a white accused a black person of a crime and the accusation turned out to be false, the white person wouldn't get reprimanded. The idea of protecting everyone's rights soon started to become really important. This was because of 4 black men, Hugo Black, Stanley Reed, Frank Murphy, and Robert Jackson. With more poeple involved it was harder for the intervention to go against this so instead of it becoming just a rule, it became more than that. Since this rule was made stronger, black kids could not be excluded from all white schools now. Many blacks fought and negotiated with the government and now finally their work paid off.
