If they wanted help, they had to pay for it which was very expensive.There was little money and few belongings left.Most ex-slaves were uneducated and had little money so life was very hard. Public places were still separated by the color of skin. Many people came from the North to teach the freed slaves or to punish the South. The South was treated like a hated enemy.
