What Were Some Of The Challenges And Hope Did The African Americans Face After The Civil War

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

Life for African Americans was very hard after the Civil War , Students had to walk three miles in the deep thick black mud everyday just to get to school, which is un fair. They would only get feed pork and sour bread. Black teachers could not buy things on credit only cash. Schools had no windows and when it was raining all the water would poor inside the classrooms. Some times the white police men would let there dogs loose and they would attack the students and adults.

Teachers gave students some light of hope that they would educate them right in 1864 . Teachers gave there students and adults free books after they were destroyed and the colored students took wonderful care of there new book that they could learn from in school.
