In 1865, life varied significantly between urban and rural areas, as well as among different social classes. Many people in rural areas engaged in farming and relied on manual labor for their livelihoods, while those in cities often worked in factories or skilled trades. The end of the Civil War that year marked a significant shift in society, particularly for formerly enslaved individuals who began to seek freedom and new opportunities, though they faced numerous challenges. Daily life was also influenced by limited technology, with transportation primarily reliant on horses and steam engines, and communication largely dependent on letters and newspapers.
