From Slavery TO Segregation
In the year of 1619 the mistreatment began. 1619 was the year of the first slave boat arriving in Virginia. The slaves would work with sliced up fingers. Cotton fields were the reason for that. Acre after acre of prickly finger stabbing cotton bushes. Having to be picked as a daily job. Finally after years of bloody pain, the congress banned the importation of slaves in the year of 1808. Later on President Abraham Lincoln in the year of 1863 issued the Emancipation Proclamation which declares that all people held as slaves were hence forward free.
