Freedmen’s Bureau

Some people wanted to help former slaves do well with their new opportunities: Created schools to serve all children who were

denied an education before (i.e. slaves).Fought for former slaves to get land that the

government promised to them after the war. ○ “Forty Acres and a Mule”

Also provided medical care and housing to ex-slaves in need.

Forty Acres and a Mule This was the idea that

blacks were owed a small amount of land because they were the ones who had worked it for so long. How do you think Southern

landowners responded?

There was some land put aside, but not even close enough for all the former slaves. What ever will they do??

Many rappers today refer to “40 Acers and a Mule” in the music – Extra credit, bring in a song that references “40 Acres and a Mule”

Lyrics, and music req. –School appropriate

Forty Acres and a Mule After the Civil War, the former slaves envisioned a

new era of equality...

A former slave interviewed in the 1930s recalled: “One day a few negroes was sticking sticks in the ground when massa come up. "What you niggers doing?" he asked. "We is staking off the land, Massa. The Yankees say half of it is ourn. The massa never got mad. He just look calmlike. "Listen, niggers," he said, "What's mine is mine and what's yours is yours. You're just as free as I and the missus, but don't go fooling around my land. I have tried to be a good master to you. I have never been unfair. Now if you wants to stay, you are welcome to work for me. I'll pay you one-third the crops you raise. But if you wants to go, you sees the gate”.

Sharecropping The result was sharecropping

Slaves returned to work for their former masters and would be paid through a “share” of the crop.

Most former slaves, because of their inability to read and write, were taken advantage of. Former slave masters kept the ex-slaves in

poverty so they could not buy their own place. The conditions that they were living and working

in were as bad as when they were slaves.

Rules of Sharecropping

Black CodesWhat’s happening in the picture?

March 23, 1867In this view of Southern justice:

A Northerner and a black man are accused of murder and then lynched, while in the background, a Southern gentleman accused of murder is told not to do it again and let go.

Black Codes

Were very similar to slave codes – it said how they should live and how they should act. The only difference is that the freed black men are

never actually called slaves.Even though they were technically free, they were

still treated as slaves and looked at as if they were still slaves.

These codes will eventually lead into the Jim Crowe Laws. These will be enforced in part by the KKK.

Civil Rights Amendments 13th Amendment

Originally Civil Rights Act of 1866 Officially ended slavery.

14th AmendmentOriginally the Civil Rights Act of 1875 Said you cannot keep someone out based solely on

race. Said everyone must be treated equal in theaters,

restaurants, etc 15th Amendment

People could not be denied the right to vote because of their race.

Ku Klux Klan (KKK) The very beginning…

Worked for white supremacy.

Terrorized many blacks for no other reason than race.

They will take a stronger stance as Reconstruction comes to an end.
