What happened to African American civil rights
after Reconstruction?
African Americans were prevented from
voting, and segregation laws were passed.
African Americans were forced to use legal
maneuvers to ensure their rights were
protected
Few African Americans faced discrimination
"Tilden and the Democratic Party accepted a
GOP [Republican] victory, while Hayes
pledged to withdraw federal troops from the
states of the former Confederacy, effectively
ending Reconstruction. With the departure of
the army. Republican governments in the
South fell as former slaves were prevented
from voting by legal
maneuvers, intimidation and terrorism. Loss
of the vote was quickly followed by
segregation laws and other discrimination
against blacks, and it would be eight decades
before the nation redressed the legacy of
1877."

Iam told that hundreds if not thousands of these (armenians) were sent at once to the front ranks at the dardanelles, where death in a very short space of time is almost a certainty. the older men were then deported into the interior, while the women and children, when not carried off in an opposite direction, were left to shift for themselves as best they could. the terrible feature of this deportation up to date is that it has been carried out on such a basis as to render it practically impossible in thousands of cases that these families can ever again be reunited. not only wives and husbands, brothers and sisters, but even mothers and their little children have been dispersed in such a manner as to preclude practically all hope that they will ever see each other again. according to this excerpt, what does the author consider to be the worst part of the deportation during the armenian genocide?
