Best Answer

Life for ex-slaves after the civil war was not that different. If they did get jobs they would be payed much less than white workers. Once the slaves knew they were free were are they going to go? Most needed things and got them from their old masters, therefore they now owed them money, having to work for them. This debt is known as the eternal debt, in a sense makeing the freedmen slaves in a sense forever.
