Carlos Hernandez question #1
What did he think the government of the U.S. should do to help the freedman?


In the article "A bleak future for freedman" "you desire to know our opinions on the policy of president Andrew Johnson about the colored race.The government should help by race who allowed them to get such great southern farm.We think the government should enable our people to have a home of their own,on which they might hope to warn a living and educate their children.It is the intention of the government to drive us to our worst enemies to ask for work...?Our race has tilled this land for ages;whatever wealth that has been earned in the south was because of our labor.But what happened to it? It has gone back to the southern hands that are dripping with blood and who have committed some major evil."this supports the idea of how the government should help freedman. According to this article i agree that the government should help the freedman so they have the right to vote and to have a education and to have a job.
