In the South, there had been the desire to ensure that the lives of the African-Americans would not be segregated. In other words, there would be unity in the community members of the African-Americans to live together in the lands given to them. Education had also been a priority for the African-Americans because of which there had been attempts to obtain all the civil rights by them. The right to vote had also been a priority to be obtained by them. This is because there had been interest developed in politics and equal representation for the country by the African-Americans.
