Voting and owning land were crucial for newly freed slaves as they represented autonomy, empowerment, and a stake in the political and economic systems of the United States. Voting allowed them to influence laws and policies that affected their lives, while land ownership provided a means of economic independence and security. Both rights were essential for establishing their identity as full citizens and for combating the systemic inequalities they faced. Ultimately, these rights were foundational in their pursuit of equality and social justice.
