So far in miss garbers history class we learned about the conflicts of the United states and South Africa. The conflicts of the United States was the Civil war, and in South Africa it was Apartheid. Apartheid means seperateness in afrikans.
The United States and South Africa had a length of conflicts. South Africas conflicts lasted for 40 years, and The U.S. lasted for 4 years.Both had a history of colonization slavery and segregation.
They both had racial factors and other racial issues. The united States had enslavement and forced migration af Africans. South Africans were colonized by the British and Dutch. The united States mistreated the migrant workers in Poland, Italy, Thailand, and Ireland. South Africa mistreated migrant workers in India.
South Africa has land ownership as well as the United States. South Africas ownership was De Jure White, United States was De Sacta White. In the United States the War ended with a treaty. This treaty was signed by the confederates and the union stating that they would become one union in peace. The Apartheid was settled with a reform.
The results of these battles changed the lives of many. In the United states the slaves were now free. Although they were free they were mostly still segregated, and living under extreme regulations. In South Africa the Apartheid made situations much worse. The reform made many African Americans not like White Africans and the fact that they still wanted to be separate.
