This led to a lot of controversy on whether slavery should be allowed or not because the citizens were blinded by how useful they were and did not acknowledge how wrong slavery was at the time. This caused a lot of violence and the nation being torn apart into two, the Confederates and the Union. Robert Purvis became an abolitionist at a very young age and supported anti-slavery throughout his entire life.

Segregation was still allowed in many states, and it was only with the advent of civil rights laws did African Americans begin to make inroads in America society. The main goal of the National Urban League in the 1920s was to provide employment for African Americans in the urban cities, as many of them lived in poverty and homelessness.
