It was crafted during one of the most shameful periods in America&#8217;s history &#8212; the brutal enslavement of African people in the deep South in the 1800s. It was later used by hate-filled segregationists during much of the 1900s in the South and the West. <\/p>\n<p>And despite this horrible history, a dwindling segment of local people are trying hard to save it.<\/p>\n<p>What rule is this? The &#8220;one-drop rule,&#8221; which essentially states that if a person has even one African ancestor, that person must categorize him\/herself as black.
