The Identity of Black Women in the Post-Bellum Period 1865-1885

The identity of black women since Byron era From 1865 to 1885 Black women have always held a lot of responsibilities throughout history. This was less true than the southern black women between 1865 and 1885. In the last two decades, these women have fought with children, husbands, supporting families, black citizens and women's liberties, sexual freedom, and other problems affecting their lives.

The answer depends on which woman and its environment are in the same geographical location. In the western United States of America (1865 - 1910), women of the middle class and white women of the upper class enjoyed greater flexibility and more freedom of travel, and took control of their own I owned the land by name. Children Minority women, especially Chinese and indigenous Americans, did not gain greater freedom. For these groups, the concept of "the West" in the United States is meaningless. To the Chinese women, salons, and dirty hotels who worked in the California and Rocky Mountain mine camp later in the late nineteenth century, the west is not the west but the west, and is often not a choice. Encourage the poor family of Chinese to sell girls who are brought to San Francisco by voyage "pen" and are taken to mining camps

From 1865 to 1900, there was a big reconstruction period. In the meantime, the lives of women changed greatly. In the north, women challenge the government and seek equality rights for women. Black women in the south are faced with the challenge and danger of discovering new freedoms. After failing the Civil War, the slaves began to receive education and began to have their own families. However, after slavery, many ethnic conflicts have occurred. Caucasian accused the black man as being a sexual assault trying to reach a white woman. Ironically, these accusations are that under slavery, white people use slaves and have unrestricted access to black women. Today, women of the middle class and the upper class have created so-called "women's age" to pursue new opportunities.
