Changes emerging

Changes were emerging causing a revolution.  Americans fought for equality and justice, yet it was a contradiction when it came to African Americans.  Slavery was still around but some blacks were free.  Free black couldn’t vote, they lived under curfews and lacked equal justice which was given to even the poorest white criminal.  The antislavery movement was started with the Declaration of Independence.  Slavery wasn’t ended completely by the revolution but it did spark a movement in which it could be extinguish.
