Question

Suppose that you are an emancipated slave in the South at the end of the Civil War. What changes do you hope for your new life? Write about three ways you imagine your life will change now that you have your freedom.

Answer 1

As an emancipated slave I will be hopeful for the following changes:

1. Fair and equal treatment

2. Ability to work

3. Same opportunities like everyone else.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. As an emancipated slave in the South at the end of the Civil War, I would be hopeful that I will have a chance to be treated fairly among my neighbors and others. Even though I might be different, it is not something I can change, I would hope that everyone would treat me with the same amount of respect as everyone else.

2. I would hope to have the ability to work among other people regardless of race since I'm free and no longer a slave.

3. Lastly I would be hopeful that I will be open to the same opportunities as everyone else.
