I have to make the graphs myself they cannot come from the internet. It has be all our own original work. So I am really stuck on this one. I have never made a graph.
What data do you want to graph?
I am not sure. I want to show how the blacks had no rights and now they do. I want to show what rights they bagan to have and the timelines. Also when they were slaves and when that stopped.
I suggest you construct a timeline to show these events.

Thank you
You're welcome.
Where would I get some type of information on them?
The links I posted show how to construct a timeline.
Bobpursley posted a link for African-American history.
You can also Google: African-American chronology
Thanks again
You're welcome. Enjoy your history project! :-)
If you're new to making graphs, don't worry! I can guide you through the process step by step. Here's how you can create your own graph:
1. Determine the type of graph: Start by understanding what type of graph is most suitable for the data you want to present. Common types include bar graphs, line graphs, pie charts, and scatter plots. The type of graph you choose depends on the relationship between the variables and the nature of the data.
2. Gather your data: Collect the data you want to represent in your graph. Ensure that the data is complete, accurate, and organized for easy visualization.
3. Choose the appropriate scale: Decide on the range and divisions of the axes based on your data. The scale should make the graph clear and easy to read. For example, if you're plotting sales over time, the x-axis could represent months or years, and the y-axis could represent the corresponding sales figures.
4. Label the axes: Clearly label the x-axis (horizontal) and y-axis (vertical) to indicate what data they represent. Include the units of measurement, if applicable. For instance, if you're plotting temperature over time, the x-axis could be labeled "Time (hours/days/years)" and the y-axis "Temperature (°C/°F)."
5. Create the plot: Plot the data points on the graph according to their values. Use either a pencil and ruler on graph paper or computer software, such as Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets, to create a digital graph.
6. Connect the data points: If you're creating a line graph or scatter plot, connect the data points with lines or curves. This step isn't necessary for bar graphs or pie charts.
7. Add a title: Give your graph a clear and concise title that describes what it represents. The title should be informative yet succinct.
8. Include a legend: If you're using multiple data sets or variables, include a legend that explains the meaning of different symbols or colors used in the graph.
9. Finalize and refine: Review your graph to ensure it accurately represents your data and is visually appealing. Make any necessary adjustments for clarity, such as resizing or repositioning labels.
Remember, creating graphs takes practice, so don't get discouraged if your first attempts are not perfect. With time and experience, you'll become more proficient at presenting data visually.
