The Emancipation Proclamation, issued in 1863, declared the freedom of enslaved people in Confederate states, setting the stage for the 13th Amendment, which formally abolished slavery in the United States in 1865. After emancipation, many freed African Americans turned to sharecropping as a means of livelihood, renting land from white landowners in a system that often resulted in economic exploitation. The Freedmen's Bureau was established to assist newly freed individuals by providing education, healthcare, and support in transitioning to freedom, but it faced challenges in effectively addressing the systemic inequalities of the post-Civil War South. Together, these elements illustrate the complex and often difficult journey toward true freedom and economic independence for African Americans in the Reconstruction era.
