Richmond


On the first picture, you can see the entrance of the Black History Museum. It is not a coincidence if the emancipation of the black people lays in the middle of the civil war. The confederate States were against the emancipation. The farm industry needed the slavery. The yankies, who was more industrially developped, didn't need the slavery. The black people emancipation is one of the reason of the civil war. Abraham Lincoln announce the emancipation 1862, and the civil war lasted from 1861 up to 1865.
The man riding the Horse is George Washington, he is the president of the USA who made the country independant from Great Britain and then he presides the writing of the american constition 1887.


This is the St-Johns Church
