In 1865, the year the Civil War ended, blacks saw freedom as several things. These were: no longer under white control, getting legal rights, land reform.
Congress created the Freedman's Bureau, an agency with the ability to take on many of the needs that were important to the former slaves. The bureau provided education, housing, built churches and schools, provided healthcare, and acted as an advocate for the blacks who were forming labor contracts with their former masters.
The Southern States seceded from 1860-1865, during the course of the Civil War.
