This is a very nice video, where it explains how the freedom of the slaves took place, how this was the beginning of a new area, and it did not only gave more opportunities for black people, but also for all the races that now live in the United State

Comment:
This video explains to us the original purpose of the Founding Fathers, which was making clear that ALL the people of the United States are equal. But unfortunately many people did not agree with this. After many years of suffering finally the slaves got their freedom and the opportunity for a new life.
