In America, when they were freed.
Some freed slaves were able to move on and find work and make a decent living for themselves and their families. Some freed slaves stayed on the plantations where they had worked before or moved to other plantations nearby. Many freed slaves did not know how to be free, so they caused problems by stealing and fighting.

Freed slaves at the end of the Civil War were immediately able to legally marry, establish their own families, and move about freely without fear of being owned as property. Additionally, they were able to seek paid employment and pursue education opportunities.
General Sherman's Special Field Order No. 15.
Many freed slaves were led to believe they would finally be able to own land in the South by prominent figures such as General William Tecumseh Sherman. After the Civil War, Sherman issued Special Field Orders No. 15, which promised land to freed African Americans in the form of "forty acres and a mule." This initiative was intended to provide economic independence, but it was largely overturned, and most freed slaves did not receive the land they were promised.
Slaves were given freedom after the civil war. (Today in our government, Mexicans are considered freed slaves, because they work for below minumuim wage.) The 15th admendment involves civil rights which was later updated in 1971 when woman were able to vote.
Many freed slaves believed they would be able to hold land because of promises made during Reconstruction, such as the redistribution of land to former slaves. The Freedmen's Bureau also provided assistance in acquiring land and negotiating labor contracts. Additionally, the passage of the Homestead Act allowed for the possibility of acquiring land for little to no cost.

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.
