Slavery
Slavery was a dark period in US History that began from America's independence in 1776 before it was forbidden in 1865. At that time, the government counted 4 milliones slaves in the country. Most fundamentally, it produced deep social divides between the rich white and poor black communities, the consequences of which still haunt American societies now, many years after.
