What would it be like to live in the south as a freedman during Reconstruction?
In some places yes. The Northern states allowed blacks a free life. In the South it was considered "illegal" for blacks to learn or write.
The free blacks during the slavery were called indentured slaves. They were the ones that were owned by the plantation owners, but they were also paid for the work that they had done on the plantation. When they served their time as a slave which was usually up to not exceeding three years they were freed and told that they could leave. Some of them stayed on and some left the plantations.
they were more accepted in society
it was a struggle for the freed slave because they didn't know what to do or how to get jobs or nothing!
