Ian and Ray's Only Post
In the South, black men were given the freedom to vote and were also able to get jobs that had good pay in the North. They ended up just like the pilgrims who first landed on the Mayflower. However, it was hard to because there was so much discrimination in the South so they couldn't get decent jobs. Over all, we don't think that the government helped the the freed slaves all that much.

ReplyDeleteI agree with you on the discrimination on African Americans.
ReplyDeleteI don't think that's an educated comment. Just FYI. Also what kind of discrimination did they receive?
ReplyDeletewhat about the supplies and money they received from the government?
ReplyDeleteI agree with Luorong.
ReplyDeleteThe poll tax, which had to be paid before African Americans could vote then there was the literacy test they had to pass. There were schools for African Americans but they were always in the worst buildings and had the most old teaching materials. ( To Luorong )
