Lincoln's Call for Equality and its Consequences
This chapter examines Lincoln's 1865 speech advocating for black citizenship and voting rights, which sparked outrage and led to his assassination by John Wilkes Booth. It highlights the violent backlash faced by African Americans following the Civil War and Lincoln's death, particularly through brutal riots and systemic racism in the post-war South. The narrative further discusses key legislative efforts like the Freedmen's Bureau and the Civil Rights Act of 1866, along with the significance of the 14th Amendment in addressing injustices and promoting equal rights.
