Monse Delgado-Question 3
3)For African Americans in the South after the Civil War, what help did they receive? 3a)What challenges did they face?
In the letter "A Bleak Future For Freedman" written by Samuel Childress in November 29, 1865 sent to the editor of the weekly newspaper says how the black suffered in those days because of the low poverty. "Most of us are use to farm labor, and whatever skills we possess are mainly in that. Land is dear,and few of us can buy it ." Also, how the black thought, and how the government would help. "We think that the government ought to help us out,in justice to the race who allowed them to get such great Southern farms." This show how African Americans suffered in 1865 with no rights and treated like trash.
NICE PARAGRAPH
