			The "Act to Regulate Blacks and Mulattoes," included bills that limited the rights of African-Americans. They were not allowed to vote, serve in the military, or testify in court against a European-American person. African-American children were not allowed to attend Iowa's schools and interracial marriage was made illegal. African-Americans often had to organize their own cemeteries because it was illegal to bury African-Americans in some cemeteries. Racist laws encouraged European-American Iowans to discriminate against African-American Iowans. Without legal protection, they experienced prejudice and unfair treatment for decades. (2)
