Question

1.3.8 Journal: Reflecting on Changing Times

Answer 1

Answer:

The capability and opportunity to make wealth from themselves was a very good and relevant change because it allowed African Americans to develop and have the freedom to work, buy, inherit, and gather wealth.

Explanation:

To understand this answer we have to recall the context. First of all, before the abolishment of slavery slaves didn't have the right or liberty to own more than they were given. After that, they finally got the opportunity to amaze even when the administration of Andrew Johnson withdrew the "land and mule" promise the received from former President Lincoln. Now, after they worked and saved money they were able to buy their land, as well as to produce for their families. This was a very important change in understanding that they were prived from this for generations. It was a major achievement for society and African Americans.
