the For African Americans in the South after the Civil War, what help did they receive? What challenges did they face
The challenges that they face were being hired by there former masters the slave work to get money but the master did not give them the money and the master kept the money for him. The slaves where broke. Most former slaves desperately wanted land to farm but had no money to buy it. Sharecroppers such as these shown rented their land from plantation owners.
