Attitudes toward former slaves after their emancipation?
by AlmostAtheist ini'm not a historian -- nor even "an historian" -- so i'm having trouble figuring out where to start to research this.
i'd like to see what was written about former slaves as they were absorbed into the nation as free people.
i'm guessing there would be comments about what great workers they are, how honest, how appreciative -- much like the praise allegedly heaped on jw's.
