The African Americans

On September through October 1 my class was split into groups.I got Rylee, Jacob C, Brett, and me, Nikita. We are working on African Americans for our social studies collage.What we learned was that the African Americans were the reason for the Civil War which ended in 1865 to fight for no more slavery any more. They brought  jazz, corn, black eyed peas, collard greens, yams, voodoo, tote, banjos, drums, proverbs, ragtime music, spirituals, folktales, and dance styles. The African Americans are famous for gospel. Martin Luther King Jr. is famous because he led the movement for equal rights in the 1960s.The African Americans were most likely to be a slave in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and a little part of Maryland.
