David Lozada- Question 3

 3) For African Americans in the South after the Civil War, what help did they receive? What challenges did they face?

 According to the document, "A Bleak Future for Freedman", one struggle for African Americans in the south is that all the money earned from their labor was distributed to their former masters and not given to the people that earned it which left them in poverty. "It can not be denied that the colored race has earned all this property. Justice should give it back to us. But what happend to it? It has gone back to the Southern hands that are dripping with blood and who have committed (done) some major evil."
