Step-by-step explanation:

1. In the South, "whites" limited the power of blacks in the South by them from voting, serving on juries, or to even travel or work freely.

2. An example of such unfair/unethical action is how many states used the "grandfather clause " to limit the power of the black voter. They said blacks could not vote unless their grandfather had voted; which was impossible for the majority.

3. In the North even though they enjoyed some freedom compared to other regions they faced this discrimination;

  • they were excluded from public transportation,
  • they were excluded from schools and
  • even in churches, they were excluded.

4. The West Indians faced discrimination here.
