There are many racial events that took place in the United States. The big event was The Civil War that took place during 1861–1865 the war started as bringing the north and south together, and ended up being about freeing the slaves. Soon after the war in 1866 the 14th amenment was passed, guaranteeing citizenship to former slaves. Then in 1869 the 15th amenment was passed which gave the black man the right to vote with most women of all races were still unable to vote, so that ment that segregation was still taking place after these 2 amenments were passed. These two events are examples of racisim that took place during the civil war. So when pap is yelling at Huck the reason is because of the 15th amenment that gave the black man voting rights. Even after the 15th amenment was passed people still looked at black people as slaves and they still thought that the white man was better than the black man.
