Detailed explanation-1: -Black codes and Jim Crow laws were laws passed at different periods in the southern United States to enforce racial segregation and curtail the power of Black voters. After the Civil War ended in 1865, some states passed black codes that severely limited the rights of Black people, many of whom had been enslaved.
Detailed explanation-2: -Some emancipated slaves quickly fled from the neighborhood of their owners, while others became wage laborers for former owners. Most importantly, African Americans could make choices for themselves about where they labored and the type of work they performed.
Detailed explanation-3: -After the Civil War, sharecropping and tenant farming took the place of slavery and the plantation system in the South. Sharecropping and tenant farming were systems in which white landlords (often former plantation slaveowners) entered into contracts with impoverished farm laborers to work their lands.
Detailed explanation-4: -Why was it difficult for southern free blacks to gain economic independence after the Civil War? Southern blacks emerged from slavery with no money to begin their new lives, so they had to rely on the crop-lien and sharecropping systems.
Detailed explanation-5: -Freedmen were emancipated slaves and they faced problems regarding segregation. They needed jobs, clothes, homes, and food. Why did President Lincoln propose a mild plan for Reconstruction? He wanted to reunite the union quickly so that it made it fairly easy for southerners to rejoin the union.
