Who Really Won the War?

Recently, we finished the documentary we had been watching for a few weeks in class. The ending of the documentary greatly surprised me.  The Civil War ended and with that I expected the documentary to come to a close but this documentary was about slavery and not the Civil War and apparently discrimination against black people greatly endured past the Civil War.  It got so bad, that the north just decided they no longer even cared about the south and they could do anything they wanted to do to free black Americans.  Organizations emerged that people wanted to shut down.  I now have an explanation to how there was so much discrimination in the sixties, for example, even though it took time much after the Civil War.  I always wondered if slavery was ended during the Civil War how do we find so much discrimination so long after the war.  What also interests me, is how the north were just as guilty in the sixties as the south but during the after period of the war they were the ones trying to stop the discrimination.  Did the north actually win the war?  The south ended up brainwashing the whole country into thinking that black people were inferior to us and henceforth created discrimination far worse than anything seen in our country's history.  Congratulations to general Robert E. Lee the true victor of the Civil War.

Source C and D

The test we took seemed relatively easy to me.  The lack of any matching, or multiple choice section greatly changed my opinion on the difficulty of the test.  The fact that the whole test was writing perturbed me but also sort of relieved me of the stress received from multiple choice questions.  I remember replying to one of the questions saying that the two men writing in source C and D were deliberately bashing the white people who upheld the rights of the Deceleration of Independence.  They both had different approaches to the matter.  David Walker called told the men that they were not simply following what they wrote and that they needed to therefore justify their claims of liberty.  The other author declared that the document was more suggestive of the apparent matter that white people obviously viewed slaves as property and not people.   I think David Walker was still under the impression that if he wrote this letter and people read it; they would immediately assume that there was in fact something done very wrong in the United States of America.  Source D was more correct in pointing out that any American would pick up this document, read it, and then laugh because they see a slave claiming to be an actual human being and not just a piece of property that is sold and bartered.
