I think After civil war, African Americans didn't receive any thing. According to A Black Future for Freedman by Samuel Childress,"...about colored race. We are not acquainted with the whole of it...To us the prospect seems gloomy. We see no prospect for permanent homes and we see no prospect of them getting any." This shows that African Americans didn't get anything, they can't stay with their family, also they are homeless. But African Americans also feel happy after civil war. According to Reconstruction and Its Aftermath," African Americans enjoyed a period when they were allowed to vote, actively participate in the political process, acquire the land of former owners, seek their own employment, and use public accommodations." This shows that African Americans are happy because they have freedom, unlike during civil war they can't do any thing by themselves.

I disagree because after the Civil War, African American's were able to get a better education and with that were able to have careers according to www.history.com
