It is true that freed slaves would be allowed to choose a vocation or trade that they wished to make, and choose a residence of their choice as long as they remained loyal to the United States.
Freed slaves had no many chances to make a good living, They had to work hard to make a living. And although President Abraham Lincoln had issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, in the third year of the American Civil War, it was only until the end of the armed conflict that it started to transcend in the southern states.
That is why President Lincoln ordered Reconstruction in teh South. However, these southern states did not pay heed to the Proclamation. These states issued the Jim Crow laws and the black codes, a series of legislation that limited the civil rights of African Americans former slaves.
Edwards was a philosopher and minister who held a sermon during the great awakening that warned sinners that they were going to hell unless they repented and asked god for mercy. I believe his sermon was called “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God”
It hurt the south for a while, slave labor was good for the south's economy but bad for competition up north because nobody could find a job if all the slaves worked for free. The removal of slavery cemented this competition-based method into America.
