African American Vernacular English (AAVE), sometimes called Ebonics, refers to the unique linguistic patterns found in African American communities. Though linguists debate whether AAVE is an entirely distinct language or a non-mainstream dialect of English, it is clear that AAVE is rich in cultural significance, history, and sociolinguistic importance.

Despite their newly acquired freedom blacks in the north were constantly subjected to racial prejudices that undermined any effort to actively participate in the development of the American political system.
