After the Emancipation Proclamation, enslaved individuals in the United States were commonly referred to as "freedmen" or "freedwomen," highlighting their newly acquired status as free individuals. The term "freedpeople" was also used to collectively describe them. This change in terminology reflected their liberation from slavery and the ongoing struggles for civil rights and social integration in a post-emancipation society.
