After the Civil War, white supremacists in the South were determined to stop any social or political progress by the African-American . At the 1866 Constitutional Convention, Texans passed out restrictive laws, known as Black Codes, to African Americans that limited their autonomy. The Codes basically returned the African American to their prior position of slaves. African Americans without jobs often were given to white guardians for work without pay. The penalty for quitting those jobs often included imprisonment for breach of contract. Other laws prevented freedmen from having free access to public facilities. They were not allowed to testify against whites, serve on juries or in state militias, or to vote. They were, however, free to develop schools and churches, which became vehicles for improvement within their communities. By the late 1860s, African Americans had aligned themselves with the Republicans and began to carve a pathway to true freedom as American citizens.

- "the counterculture movement"

- "counterculture began to develop in the united states following the rise of conformity in american culture during the 1950s. by 1963, youth, particularly those of the white middle class, began rejecting the cultural standards and normality of their parents, opting for progressive attitudes instead. the movement gained momentum as the civil rights movement became increasingly successful and as the u.s. military intervention of vietnam began to take a negative turn."

"hippie counterculture moved further into popular culture following the summer of love in 1967 when thousands of people came together in the haight-ashbury neighborhood of san francisco. along with greenwich village in new york city, haight-ashbury became a hub for the counterculture movement."
