Question

In what ways was racism common in both the North and the South?

Answer 1

Blacks were still restricted in where they could live, sleep, and eat in many places in the North.

I was shocked to find that in Springfield Illinois up until about WWII, blacks couldn't stay in a hotel.

Answer 2

My answer: Many whites in the North refused to go to school with, work with, or live near African Americans. In most states, even free African Americans could not vote. And in the South, many offered the openly racist argument that white people were superior to blacks.
