The plan were that they should work as an independent state, but came to work as the American reserves, that they used for the Indians. Then came the “Separate Amentias Act”, which was the most racist separate of them all. It separated the colored people from Busses, Parks, Libraries, and Beaches etc. It also meant that black people should carry ID with them 24/7.
