In 2023, **** percent of Black people living in the United States were living below the poverty line, compared to *** percent of white people.

Not only are women and children more likely to be affected, racial minorities are as well due to the discrimination they face.

The issue of race and slavery was arguably the largest cause of the American Civil War, with the southern states seceding from the Union as the practice of slavery became increasingly threatened. From the graph we can see that roughly 16.5 percent of the entire US population at this time was black, and the vast majority of these were slaves. In 1860 there were almost 27 million white people, four and a half million black people, and less than one hundred thousand non-black or white people (mostly of Native/Latin American or East-Asian origin).
