Why did african americans who moved to northern cities still face limitations because of their race

Even though slavery was illegal in northern states, African Americans were still at a huge disadvantage because many northerners still didn't think they deserved rights.

The native americans, spanish, french and americans all name places in our state. the word “arkansas” came from the quapaw indians, by way of early french explorers. at the time of the early french exploration, a tribe of indians, the quapaws, lived west of the mississippi and north of the arkansas river.
