What else could you have done to help the Freed Slaves adjust to life after the war?
I could not have done anything else to help the freed slaves adjust to life after the war! By then it was too late. Congress had been so intent on punishing former Confederate solders that by the time sensible heads realized the plan Congress attempted would not work, it was too late.
My program would have started in Tennessee in 1862. I would have freed the slaves at that point and given all men and women the right to vote and hold office. That would have given women more of a stake in making the system work. I would not have had punishment for returning Confederate solders. I would still hold the possibility of it over their heads if they misbehaved. Thus, the former slaves could blend into the population. (Segregation by race in the United States was created after the Civil War in reaction to the Reconstruction.)
What else can I help you with?
Why did many freed slaves remain on the farms where they had worked as slaves?
Many freed slaves remained on the farms where they had worked as slaves for several reasons: Some masters asked (or demanded) that the newly free slaves stay on the master's property, offering a house and wages. However, by the time the master was done charging the freed slaves for rent and supplies, they received no wages and could not afford to move to another place. Some slaves were not told that they were free. Many freed slaves did not know how to live as free men and women. They would try it for awhile and then return to their former masters. Others stayed with their masters because the master had been good to them and continued to treat them well after emancipation.
Why were soldiers in the south during the Reconstruction?
After the Civil War, Former Confederate Solders did not have civil rights. They could neither vote nor hold office. The newly freed slaves could vote and hold office. The veterans did not like that. The veterans would hide near the polls. Black men would go to the polls. Bang, bang, bang, shots would ring out. Black men would fall dead. Something had to be done. Solders were placed in the South to end the intimidation and murder of newly freed Black Men.
The Life of Free blacks during slavery?
The free blacks during the slavery were called indentured slaves. They were the ones that were owned by the plantation owners, but they were also paid for the work that they had done on the plantation. When they served their time as a slave which was usually up to not exceeding three years they were freed and told that they could leave. Some of them stayed on and some left the plantations.

How did the northern states feel about counting the slaves?
The northern states were smaller states so they were out numbered by the south where the most,political power was located. The idea to count the slaves was a compromise so that other things could get done. Often people have to compromise to get something they want and this is what happened.

What was the name of the federal agency created to free slaves?

Why did not the Emancipation Proclamation free all US slaves?
Lincoln had to wait for a Union victory. Antietam Was the victory he needed.The Emancipation Proclamation changed the course of the war. It went from defeating the Rebels of the South to freeing the slaves. In every place that the Union army could take, the Slaves were all freed. This was a huge boost to the troops. They were now fighting to free people. Freeing all the slaves would have done nothing to keep the men fighting. the fight needed a better cause. Is there a better cause than Freedom? Fighting to unite the Country and fighting for freedom are far different things. Even today fighting for freedom is still top on everyones list.

Why was Lincoln only able to free the slaves in the confederacy and not free all slaves through out the union?
Lincoln needed the support of the boarder states that had not yet seceded, and if the Emancipation Proclamation freed all the slaves, than the balance would have been off between the Confederate and Union states. If Lincoln freed all the slaves, than the boarder states would have joined the confederacy. Remember, the North went to war with the south to keep them from leaving, not to end slavery. At the beginning of the war, the North was not as successful as they would have liked to be, so by freeing the slaves in the confederate states, they gained their support, and slaves began to flee to the north, and fight against the southern states.
