Former slaves had no money, no work, and were often homeless. They were also the victims of racial violence. Plantation owners lost their work force with the abolition of slavery. Many could not afford to hire new workers. Poor whites had to compete with freedmen for the few available jobs. Unable to find work, many chose to migrate.
