Freedmen
Abandoned land was promised to the newly freed blacks.
I would guess that free blacks did not altogether welcome a large influx of newly-liberated slaves, driving down the cost of labour in the low-paid jobs.

The newly freed slaves could join any religious church they wished. Before the war they had generally attended church with their masters and sat in a slave section frequently a balcony or they had worshipped in the afternoon. After the Civil War the free blacks generally moved to similar churches. Some of the Methodists remained Methodists but many more became AME. Most of the Southern Baptists joined other Baptist bodies. The newly liberated blacks simply stayed with a familiar religion.
Copperheads were a minority of Ohioans against the American Civil War.. Many had migrated from slave owning states and still had family involved in slavery. They did not want black slaves freed because they did not want to have to compete with newly freed blacks for jobs.
The Freedmen's Bureau Bill helped newly freed blacks acquire education, medical care, land, work opportunities, and legal assistance. It aimed to provide aid in their transition from slavery to freedom after the Civil War.
After the abolition of slavery, freed blacks were often subjected to Black Codes and convict leasing laws, which criminalized behaviors such as vagrancy and loitering. These laws allowed for the arrest and forced labor of blacks, who were often leased out to work on plantations and in other agricultural settings under exploitative conditions. This system effectively maintained a form of coerced labor that disproportionately affected the newly freed black population.
