<div>"African American" is the term used to describe the ethnic background of Americans with African ancestry. Because many African Americans are descended from Africans brought to America as slaves beginning four centuries ago, the vast majority of African Americans today have [[European]] and [[American Indian]] ancestry as well as African{{fact}}.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
Black people were originally bought by America to serve as slaves in southeastern states where large-scale agriculture was predominant. During the [[Civil War]], the slaves in states in "open rebellion" were freed by the [[Emancipation Proclamation]], which was signed by President [[Abraham Lincoln]]. Freedom, however, did not necessarily bring an improvement in conditions, as the system of [[sharecropping]] instituted after the end of the war left many ex-slaves in a continuing cycle of poverty. In large part as a result, many African Americans migrated in the early twentieth century to the northeastern and midwestern states, where they could find wage-paying jobs.<br />
<br />
==Religion==<br />
<br />
The majority of African Americans are members of Christian congregations, with [[Baptist]], [[Pentecostal]], and [[Methodist]] affiliations being among the most common. Some also belong to [[Islamic]] organizations, including the [[Nation of Islam]] founded by [[Elijah Muhammed]], to which group [[Malcolm X]] belonged to until the last years of his life.<br />

<div>The turkey is a type of Bird. According to the false theory of evolution, birds are direct descendants of dinosaurs. This is clearly not true, as many birds have beautiful plumage, something which all dinosars seemed to lack. Benjamin Franklin thought that the turkey should be the national bird of America rather than the the bald eagle. He claimed that since a turkey fights to protect its young under all circumstances, it represented America better. While this may be true, the Bald Eagle is clearly the most majestic bird to ever exist, and thus is a far better choice to be the American Bird. A turkey is most often the main dish at a Thanksgiving dinner, although in special circumstances a Cornish Game Hen is a delicious, albeit unorthodox alternative. A turkey is considered to not be kosher by many Rabbis, which is why it is considered such a great Christian food. A turkey is not completely unlike a chicken, and they were most likely created both with the same intention in mind by God, however the turkey was placed in the Americas and Chickens were placed in Europe. Moses probably had a hard time differentiating between the two 4000 years ago.<br />
