Plessy v. Ferguson

April 26, 1896

The Plessy V Ferguson court case dealt with the fact that colored people were not supposed to be with white people and that many things should be segregated. This case also affected Native Americans as well because they were thought of as seconds class citizens too.

Veteran Citizenship

1919

In 1919, many Native American world war 1 veterans were granted citizenship as well because of their service to the country and involvement in outside wars.

Citizenship for Everyone

1924

In 1924, the Federal government had finally come to the decision to let all Native Americans gain citizenship. This helped give Native Americans more rights but some power still lied within the states so many Native Americans were still denied the right to vote.

Civil War

1861 - 1865

This was the biggest war in African American history because even though there were many other reasons that were claimed to have started the war, it was the issue of slavery that really begun it. In 1861, Fort Sumter was attacked by the Confederate troops officially beginning the war.
