The correct answer to this open question is the following.
There is no question here. Just a statement. What is your question? What do you want to know?
If this is a true or false question, the answer is "true."
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.
