@OVERCOOL Last one I needed looking over. ^^ Which statement BEST describes newly freed slaves in Louisiana after the Civil War? A. They had a better life. B. They became large landowners. C. They continued to live in poverty. D. They were politically more powerful. I chose A. Am I correct?

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

I don't think A is correct at all. They actually had a worse life since they didn't have any jobs or land.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then I would like to reconsider my answer. I think it's C.. D doesn't seem right at all. Also B.

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

Correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That only leaves one answer

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

C is correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes.

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

Wait. You also think it's D. D is wrong because they couldn't become land owners that fast. @WtfWhyAmIAGhost

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I meant to put that D and B doesn't seem right..

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

Okay.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If They didn't get land right off the bat then they also had people who were angry they were free slaves.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they were hunted and hung or worse.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you both. ^^ I'm all done now with my questions.

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

You're welcome and have a good day.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You too. ^^
