In the south after the civil war African Americans received no help. They had to defend for themselves and received beatings and death. Most occasions freed slaves were the ones that were murdered. They had to avoid organized groups such as KKK aka: Ku Klux Klan, and out-of-control mobs, also individual white southern men. They recorded all the assaults and murders.

What help did they receive for things like education, work, or clothing? How did they appreciate it?
ReplyDeleteAs you can read above I stated that they did not receive anything.
DeleteI agree life was hard for them and not much help came. BUT, you could include something like the third amendment.
