Anthony McBride Question 1

                   what was slaves life like after the war?

According to the article "Being an African American after Emancipation" former slaves had a hard time after the emancipation. A slaves fight for freedom became a fight for survival. According to 79 years old former slave James Johnson says"Befo’ de war, niggers did have a place to lie down at night and somewhere to eat, when they got hungry in slavery time.”
