In the Roediger article, the theme of the article was revolving around the notion of how immigration is seen.

The Coates article is something of an insight of what African Americans experienced in Chicago. \u00a0What was interesting in this one was how\u00a0Clyde Ross explained his personal hardships in the South. How his family was free but not. They were still in some kind of slavery but legal due to not fully being able to own the thing they had.\u00a0Clyde Ross also goes on to explain how the draft wanted him not in the war but he refused and went anyway. Later he would find a way to live in Chicago but there was a catch. The house he bought was not bought through a bank. Coates then states that during this time, many African Americans were not able to get mortgages and had to buy from a person who set up a contract who bought the house cheaper and up sold it. Coates explains this has been a problem in Chicago and how many people were cheated out of their money.
