During Reconstruction, freed slaves had hope for a better future as they gained citizenship rights, access to education, and the opportunity to own land. The Freedmen's Bureau assisted with employment, food, and education, leading to the establishment of schools and black churches. Despite facing challenges such as discrimination and violence, freed slaves were able to make strides towards economic independence and political participation during this period.

After the Civil War, several factors led freed slaves to believe they could own land in the South. These included promises made by Union generals, the Freedmen's Bureau assisting with land distribution, and the passage of the Homestead Acts which provided opportunities for land ownership. Additionally, the hope for economic independence and self-sufficiency played a role in motivating freed slaves to pursue land ownership.
Newly freed slaves reacted to the passage of the 13th Amendment with a mix of joy, relief, and hope for a better future. Many saw it as a significant step towards securing their freedom and ending the institution of slavery in the United States. However, they also faced challenges such as discrimination, lack of economic opportunities, and continued racial violence.
Slaves ran away from their owners to escape cruel treatment, to seek freedom, and to reunite with their families. The desire for autonomy and the hope for a better life were common motivations for slaves to flee captivity.

Look up Radical Republicans and traditional Southern Democracts during Reconstruction. The Radical Republicans wanted equal rights for freed slaves and they also wanted a tougher stance against the South. They wanted to punish the South for causing the war. Hope this helps! :)

African Americans were the pawn of the northerners in reconstruction. They were the enemy of the south and maintained hope of normalcy.
Most states never freed the slaves. The North started to ban slavery across all of the Northern states. The South never wanted to ban the slavery then. Thats one of the causes of the Civil war. When Abraham Lincoln become the president he, banned slavery. Some people didn't care about the law and still went with it, they soon went to jail. Hope this helpeddd.(: The Emancipation Proclamation freed the slaves in the rebellious southern states on January 1, 1863. The 14th Amendment freed the rest in 1865.
During the US Civil War, slaves in the Confederacy knew about the Lincoln Emancipation Proclamation. They had hopes for an early freedom even before the war ended because as Union troops captured Southern territory, slaves their were freed by the Union army. Later after the war, an amendment, the 13th amendment to the US Constitution abolished slavery.

The narrative highlights the tension between hope for a better future and the harsh realities of life in a divided society. The setting serves as a backdrop for exploring themes of freedom, identity, and the fight for civil rights.
Many slaves were granted their freedom when their master died as a provision in his will. I believe a slave could also buy his freedom. They were usually freed when they were around 30 (manumission) Also when their master was very pleased and very kind he would set him free. eg. if you were a kind master and you were being mugged, and a slave saves you, you might free that slave. Question of my own: How would a master show that he freed his slave??
