A Brief History• The first people of color to set foot in
the Americas were African slaves brought over by British colonists in 17th and 18th century. The Americans fought against the British and gained their independence in 1776. With the rise in cotton production in the south and its main source of economic fuel, there was a large concentration of slaves in the south.

1. 13th amendment (1865)2. 14th amendment (1868)3. 15th amendment (1870)
