How the roles of the federal government changed as a result of the civil war with respect to two of the following during the period 1861-1877?
1. race relations: After the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, the federal government had to take on the role of protecting, and providing for, the newly freed slaves. A job that was very poorly done. When Lincoln was killed, all idealism died with him. There was the 40 acres and a mule policy for former slaves but the whites in the South, tricked or cheated the slaves out of what they received. Animosity developed between white and black that was never there as long as the Blacks were slaves. There was little encouragement from the North for former slaves to move into their communities either. The federal government really dropped the ball here. There should have been governmental assistance to ensure former slaves could be independent and prosper. There wasn't any because of white Southern opposition. 3. Without slavery as an issue, people were free to migrate West and determine their own destinies. Westward expansion accelerated tremendously after the war.
