When American slaves were set free, particularly after the Civil War, many were given the promise of "40 acres and a mule" as a form of reparations, although this policy was not widely implemented. In reality, most freed slaves received little to no land or resources to help them start anew. Instead, they often faced significant challenges, including systemic racism, lack of education, and economic hardship, which hindered their ability to thrive after emancipation. Many ended up working as sharecroppers or in low-wage jobs, continuing a cycle of poverty.
The great American who signed the Emancipation Proclamation freeing slaves was President Abraham Lincoln. Issued on January 1, 1863, the proclamation declared that all slaves in Confederate states were to be set free, marking a significant turning point in the Civil War and the fight for civil rights.
