The postbellum United States was a very unfriendly place for freed slaves. Many Freed slaves actually stayed on their plantations (where they were certainly not educated) due to the difficultly of finding employment in an incredibly prejudiced society and the relative sercuity they had on a plantation. Of those slaves that did leave the plantations many moved to cites where they became the urban poor. In short aside from isolated attempts from the Freedmen's Bureau(established by the radical republicans and almost as quickly abolished by the consecrative Andrew Johnson) freed slaves were not educated
