Michel Kam - Question 3

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

The African didn't received help because they didn't get their freedom after the Civil War, for they were promised to be freed. But they are still working as slave.

For more info look for THE HISTORY OF THE RECONSTRUCTION - AMERICAN CIVIL WAR and George, Charles. Black Nationalism. Detroit: Lucent boos, 2009. (Print).

  1. The Africans were freed, it's just their only job options were limited because of their skill sets, while others sought education for better jobs.

  2. Actually after the war the 13th amendment abolished slavery therefore freeing the slaves.
