| Are We Sure Slavery Ended in 1865? What The Hell Are We Free To Do depicts the lives of freed slaves who are undergoing dramatic changes during the Reconstruction Era in Noxubee County, Mississippi. For generations many of the slaves in the Cotton Quarters and the Gilmer Land were considered assets of their former employers. Now, was the liberated freedman able to distinguish exemption from the extensive instances and pressures of cotton picking if, they were never accustomed to it. The end of the Civil War and ratification of the 13th Amendment meant freedom for African American slaves. Several emancipated slaves were seeking their own an individual sovereignty that reflected a cheerful soul of exuberance, with an optimistic perspective and favorable state of mind. While the slave was gloating, former slave owners were deeply offended and frowned on the idea that their former possessions was legally able to leave the plantation. However the former slaves did not have the advantage of owning land, but they demanded wages for work to survive. This also meant that white owners suffered a huge economic loss, which resulted in the confiscation of property and the repeated advances for bank loans in order to manage what they struggled to hold on. In order for the south to persevere, an understanding needed to be initiated that would satisfy everyone, economically, politically, and socially. Barrett stresses the former planters wanted the emancipated slave to comprehend that if they wanted to eat, they had to return and work the land. It was then that the Black Codes of Mississippi were written in order to keep the freedman in their places to rebuild “The New South.” White society designed many laws and regulations that crippled their chances of leaving and making a new start outside the plantation system. They discouraged the former slave that there were no opportunities for “niggers” and that they were better off staying where they were. Their dishearten intimidation made the helpless freedman realize that they did not have any money, land, or food to venture out into favorable circumstances. In many cases, the freedman had no desire to return back to what Chicken George’s Matilda referred to as “Massa’ s Nigger Quarters.” Fed up with the former slave’s indecisiveness, the white southerner gave them an life changing ultimatum; either work they land or be evicted from the land and served with a arrest warrant for vagrancy. The reader will see that former slaves did not have any other choice but to return to the plantation that they fought so hard to escape. As soon as the planter felt confident that they would work, they had issued labor contracts to ensure that the freedman would stay put. When this happened, blacks were willingly putting the pen back in Lincoln’s hand and crossing his signature out. When they put an X on the dotted line, not only were they signing their lives away, but they were placing themselves back into a modern form of captivity called “sharecropping.” Whites felt the only way their estates could prosper again is by dominating the African Americans by forcing them to successful farm with cotton and crops. The former slave was denied civil rights and the option to purchase land, which left them helpless. It was then that many blacks were seeking the assistance of the Freedman Bureau, only to realize in the end that their actions were tolerable and lacked adequacy. The initiation and control of the Freedman Bureau was strictly political in that the governing agencies were only serving their own interests. The initiation was accessible to serve the Black community with food, housing, academics, health care, and discrimination with landowners. However, the understanding was that the U.S. Federal Government Agencies were aiding the former slaves “as long as” they were laboring back at the old plantation. The percentage of freedman that requested assistance from the bureau was as just as high as the former slaves who were being expedited back to the plantation by the bureau to make white southerners richer. They were forced to believe that in order to survive, Blacks had to depend on the white race which enforced the traditional demand for Blacks in the fields during Reconstruction, that eventually turned into an extensive and unjust concentration that lasted almost 100 years The former slave came to terms with their social status as being second class citizens and the previous agreement of slavery was not altered by Emancipation. The only difference was legally the freedman’s title was no longer a slave. |
| What The Hell Were "They Really" Free To Do What The Hell Are We Free To Do evaluates this development which is focusing on how former slaves distinguish freedom and how the circumstances of their exemption were conformed at the sudden demise of The War Against Slavery. Independence signified encountering distinct personality and character, eminently with cognizance to their previous tyrant of an employer. As African Americans, they currently had to compromise with the White race about the concentration on the former plantation. What The Hell Are We Free To Do describes how in the end, the freedman confronts the objection of constituting a modern civilization liberated of the barriers of slavery, which precedes the foundation of inspiration, doctrine, bureaucracy, and community to distinct curiosities. What The Hell Are We Free To Do is an cardinal analysis of African Americans in the aftermath of liberation. The provided examples of characters have exemplified how the former slave experienced freedom. Liberty authenticated that the affiliation between Blacks and Whites, was not an affiliation that concluded with freedom, but was patterned by philosophies and pressures that endured from the exposure to bondage. The conclusion is that this indispensable account is for anyone exploring awareness in cultural alliances in America. What The Hell Are We Free To Do establishes how an extensive amount of perseverance for the freedman intentionally conceived a powerful and agonizing obstruction system. It was only through an element of instance before the freedman were compelled to capitulate to the demand of the new slavery called “sharecropping”, which is currently an admired retributive concentration. However, punitory enlightenment was a not prerequisite for economic improvement for both the black and white race. Researchers have attempted to examine theories of justification made from a economic, social, and political perspective, but the conclusion still remains a unsuccessful complex |
