The answer to your question is,

They did not know how to live on their own as free people. They were so used to being an in slaved person working on the farm, that that's the only thing they know how to do perfectly.

Answer: They did not know how to live on their own as free people.

Step-by-step explanation:

Numerous freed slaves worked on the same farms they were slaved in before, and for the same Wages. With no money, nor education or experience doing anything but slaving away on a white man’s farm, many of them had to sign labor contracts with former masters for payment often worse than the one they had during slavery.
