Question

Give some instances of American Presidents who were sympathetic towards the black people's attempts.

Answer 1

Here are some key instances of how presidents who cared about black people tried to help them:

1. In 1863, Abraham Lincoln released the Emancipation Proclamation, which freed slaves in the Confederate states. He also backed and helped push through Congress the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, which ended slavery in the whole country.
2. During the Civil Rights Movement, Lyndon B. Johnson did many important things. There was no more segregation or racial discrimination after he signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. These laws also protected the right of Black Americans to vote. He also set up affirmative action programs to help people get equal job chances.
