They soon faced the reality that they were uneducated and had no idea how to independently support themselves and their familes. Many reluctantly had to submit to returning to cruel slaveholders for the provision of food and shelter. It wasn't long before the South created a new form of slavery "sharecropping". Freedmen were forced to accept minimal wages to support themselves and their families. A new terror for blacks in the South, was the KKK and the Night Riders. These new formed organizations used violence to deter newly freed blacks from voting, having a social standing in the community, education and religion. The freedmen who began to prosper independently with acquired land and property were run off their own homesteads and threatened with death for returning.
