Between 1860 and 1920, in hundreds of counties across the U.S., white mobs violently ejected black citizens from their homes and they never returned Years later many of these towns remain all white and the black citizens were never compensated for their losses. Now descendants of both races deal with the legacy of these events in Banished.
It is still happening today. Racists will stare you down to intimidate you to leave from their communities, that they stole from your ancestors!
This practice is the reason why America is suffering now! "The chickens have come home to roost!" (Rev. Wright)
