question 1 of 10
what did most freed slaves do during the period immediately following the
civil war?

a. they left the south and moved to northern cities.

b. they remained near the farms where they had been slaves.

c. they left the south and headed to the caribbean islands.

d. they joined wagon trains heading to the west

Explanation:

After the Civil War, most freed slaves lacked resources (like money for long - distance travel) and had ties to the land and communities near their former slave farms. Moving to northern cities, Caribbean islands, or joining wagon trains to the West required more resources and planning than staying near familiar areas. So most remained near the farms where they were slaves.

Answer:

B. They remained near the farms where they had been slaves.
