Answer:
1. Life is slow to change, we are now freed from the shackles and bonds of slavery but we are still imprisioned by the unrealistic thinking of our former masters. We work long hours for minimal pay, live in bad conditions, and have little to eat. Obtaining an education and figiting for our rights is difficult.
2. We were offered free land and a mule. but is it enough to support our families. Schools have been started but we need our kids help to work the lands.
3. Our challenges are many, we struggle with making enough money to support our families, we live in the worst conditions and are ridiculed everywhere we go. Our education is lacking and we have no way to better ourselves.
4. Before the war we woke early and worked the fields, we were slaves and had no choice in our lives, we were sold at the will of our masters and often seperated from our families. During the war we struggles to know what to do, many of our masters are serving in the war, we are offered the opportunity to fight for the north but must leave behind our women and children and what will become of them. After the war while on the surface much has changed when you look closer you see that it really has not, many of us continue to work for our former masters for meager pay, we can not support our families and work long hours.
5. The greastest change from the war is we are now free and if we have the means we can seek better opportunities for ourselves.
6. My hopes for the future is to be free of this cycle we are in, working for our former masters, not having an education. My hopes is to truly be free and equal to those around me.
