How Did Laws, Courts, and People Impact Civil Rights in the Late 1800s?

Everyone deserves to be treated equally. But how can people make sure that happens? In this inquiry-based unit, students will explain how Amendments to the Constitution attempted to address slavery’s wrongs. They will learn how the courts are used to challenge unfair laws and research how individuals and groups fought for civil rights throughout the 1800s.
