The slaves were free, but not free. The south was in ruins at the end of the war, but the former slaves really had no place to go so they stayed where they were for the most part. Sharecroppers became a way of life, but even though people are "free" they were economically slaves. The plantation owners paid them very little, discriminated against them, and they could barely make a living. Jim Crow laws saw to it that segregation was a part of life.

Originally cause of the civil war was not over the issue of slavery as most people believe, the original cause was to preserve the Union. But England who at that time still relied heavily on the South to provide the cotton for their textile industry was teetering on the brink of aiding the South. So after the Battle of Antietam Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation which stated that the war was to eliminate slavery in the South, hearing this England which had outlawed slavery decades before decided not to aid the south and exploited their colonies for the cotton they needed, which severely injured the Confederate economy.
