Below
Step-by-step explanation:
- Former slaves (freedmen) after the Civil War could barely advance in society because of segregation laws that prevented them from getting jobs, owning land, etc.
- slavery was no longer legal, but people still found loopholes around it via sharecropping
- most freedmen were practically forced into relying on sharecropping to live a decent life because of the previously stated segregation laws
- NAACP and other organizations began their efforts to help African Americans build lives for themselves.
- White supremacist organizations such as the KKK and the Knights of the White Camelia came about and began making the lives of freedmen miserable in several ways. Beating them, public lynchings, etc.
