During the colonial period, from 1500 to 1776, slavery and servitude of whites, Black people, and Indians formed the foundation for race and ethnic relations. After the American Revolution, slavery, labor inequalities, and immigration led to racial and ethnic tensions; after the Civil War, these same inequalities, and the fight for civil rights dominated America's racial and ethnic experience. From the 1960s to the present, the unfulfilled promise of civil rights for all ethnic and racial groups has been the most important sociopolitical issue in America. \u003ci\u003eRace and Ethnicity in America\u003c\/i\u003e tells this story of the fight for equality in America. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA condensation of the 4-volume \u003ci\u003eRace and Ethnicity in America: From Pre-contact to the Present\u003c\/i\u003e, this A-to-Z edition covers influential people and events from the voyages of Columbus to the present.
