Bonjour tout le monde !
Voilà, j'ai un exposé à faire sur la ségrégation aux Etats-Unis et j'aimerais bien que vous m'aidiez pour les fautes d'orthographe ;
merci d'avance pour vos réponses.
Voici mon texte :
In 1865, slavery was abolished throughout the United States, with the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment ("slavery does not exist in the United States or any place subject to their jurisdiction"), then the fourteenth (this ensures the right of suffrage to all citizens of the United States of America), and fifteenth amendments ("The right to vote of citizens of the United States will not be denied or abridged by the United States, or by any State for reasons of race, color, or previous condition of servitude ") were passed in 1868 and 1870, which guaranteed the civil rights of African-American population, and their equality before the law with whites.
However, these amendments to the Constitution were not listened to. Racial segregation in the United States was imposed after the reconstruction period after the Civil War the white citizens who had a view that blacks were inferior beings, continued segregation. The former Southern states put in place at the Jim Crow laws that bypass the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments to the Constitution which abolished slavery and granted citizenship to African Americans. Jim Crow laws are the nickname given to a series of decrees and regulations issued usually within municipalities or the southern states of the United States between 1876 and 1964. These laws distinguished citizens according to their membership "racial" and while admitting their equal rights they imposed segregation in all public places and services. Whites and blacks were separated: each community had its own restaurants, hotels, playgrounds, parks for children, schools and churches. With the first and the Second World War, blacks were slowly integrated into squadrons of common... African Americans had become second-class citizens who could not attend the same schools as whites, take the bus with them, or drink the same water fountain. In many cities, they could not stop sharing a taxi with whites or enter a building through the same door as whites. They were buried in separate cemeteries, and could not even swear on the Bible. They were also excluded from restaurants, libraries, public gardens (where one could read signs such as "Negroes and dogs not allowed", "Negroes and dogs not allowed"). Blacks were systematically give way to white, leaving the passage in the street, while in no way a black man could not look in the eye a white woman.
But it was in 1948 that "desegregation" was decided in the army, while it persisted in civil society. It is from the presidency of Truman (1945-1953) that segregation was deemed unconstitutional by the federal government, which prohibits segregation in schools.
Jim Crow laws were abolished with the civil rights movement in the 1960s, The other Jim Crow laws were abolished by the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
