Step-by-step explanation:
The main conflict described in the passage from 'The State of Georgia March 16, 1870' is the question of land and labor that emerged in Georgia during the waning days of the Civil War.
As General William T. Sherman led his March to the Sea, thousands of slaves seized the opportunity to gain their freedom by following the Union troops across the state.
This resulted in a clash between the freed slaves and the army's orders to disperse.
