Actually it didn't change the lives of African Americans. Jim Crow laws were put into place so they would remain second class citizens. Some stayed on with the plantations they had work as slaves, but the plantation owner charged them rent to live and this kept them poor. If they wanted to leave it was nearly impossible because they didn't have any money.
African Americans left the south. Most African-Americans had remained in the south following emancipation. However, Jim Crow racism, made life difficult for them. As a result the Great Migration to the Northern cities occurred.
The postbellum United States was a very unfriendly place for freed slaves. Many Freed slaves actually stayed on their plantations (where they were certainly not educated) due to the difficultly of finding employment in an incredibly prejudiced society and the relative sercuity they had on a plantation. Of those slaves that did leave the plantations many moved to cites where they became the urban poor. In short aside from isolated attempts from the Freedmen's Bureau(established by the radical republicans and almost as quickly abolished by the consecrative Andrew Johnson) freed slaves were not educated
Canada had a reputation for being racially tolerant
African american pioneers are free Black Americans that travailed a long way to leave the US to find a Betterplace.
