Reinslavement of African Slave Labor
he reinslavement of African slave labor was bait-and-catch. After the Emancipation Proclamation was read, it took several years for the entire country to become aware of it. However, racism and slavery continued certainly through the Reconstruction period Southern whites did not want to release free labor that enriched them.

The 13th Amendment, many are working to repeal it, provided a clever way for whites to rope Black people into servitude via made-up laws based on Black people's habits given that, after Emancipation, they had not funds to work with so they migrated to find means to support themselves. Breaking these "laws" "gave" whites the "right" to arrest them and place them into work camps, populated by corrupted law enforcers.
Douglas Blackmon's book Slavery By Another Name documented the many ways whites "recaptured" freed slaves into various types of servitude that were difficult to escape. Illiteracy, lack of points of reference while moving north, and other made up nonsense made it easy for the ones in power to impose their power after Black people finally were, if for a moment, in a position to self-determine. It was not easy. The dissonance that served whites to continue treating them as animals supported the unquestioned methods of forcing them into labor camps. This was the labor force for railroads and more architectural projects. Blackmon researched the possibility of the north benefiting from Black labor and it did. There really was never any freedom.
"...and the hearts became roses filled with diamond seed." by Allison L. Williams Hill
The South rescinded the Black Codes after the the passing of the 14th and 15th Amendments, however, to this day, whites continued to work to keep Blacks in the place they want them to be, in plain sight and ignorant. My husband earned all of the degrees he possessed, I earned mine; it doesn't matter how far up the ladder any Black person advanced. Black people were and continue to be, to the least educated and socialized white person, like animals. Science continues to prove how mart animals are, however.

Whites consistently ignored African achievements because white culture and behaviors were not reflected in them. After all, if you erroneously thought of yourself as God, then all people, all over the world, should look, think, behave, and record history as you do.
"As Roosevelt himself would put it,
A perfectly stupid race can never rise to a very high plane; the negro, for instance, has been kept down as much by lack of intellectual development as by anything else; but the prime factor in the preservation of a race is its power to attain a high degree of social efficiency. Love of order, ability to fight well and breed well, capacity to subordinate the interests of the individual to the interests of the community, these and similar rather humdrum qualities go to make up the sum of social efficiency. The race that has them is sure to overturn the race whose members have brilliant intellects, but who are cold and selfish and timid, who do not breed well or fight well, and who are not capable of disinterested love of the community." (qtd. in Dyer 110)
Theodore Roosevelt, was friendly with Booker T. Washington but that was as far as it went.

There was never any intention to integrate Black people into this society. That is fine. I wish people would work towards assimilation. When slaves were freed, very few whites had the ability to run their plantations. In that no credit was given to slaves, apparently, because they had white overseers. Without overseers, they would amount to nothing. Without slaves, it is likely that none of these architectural structures, ASSOCIATED WITH FREEDOM, would have been constructed.
