2 how was segregation similar to slavery? a they were both racist systems that discriminated against african americans b they were both established in the united states constitution c they both ended after the u.s. civil war d they both ended during the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 60s

Answer

Brief Explanations:

To determine the answer, we analyze each option:

  • Option A: Segregation and slavery were both racist systems that discriminated against African Americans. Slavery enforced ownership and exploitation, while segregation (e.g., Jim Crow laws) enforced racial separation and discrimination, creating systems that oppressed African Americans.
  • Option B: Slavery existed before the U.S. Constitution was established, and segregation was established later, so this is incorrect.
  • Option C: Slavery ended after the Civil War, but segregation continued (e.g., Jim Crow) until the Civil Rights Movement, so this is incorrect.
  • Option D: Slavery ended after the Civil War (1865), while segregation ended during the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s - 60s, so they did not end at the same time, making this incorrect.

Answer:

A. They were both racist systems that discriminated against African Americans
