> Unfortunately, you did not attach the description you are referring to, but we can refer to the description of Henry Adams.
> Henry Adams made a statement before the United States Congress in 1880, regarding his freedom after the Union victory after the Civil War.
> In his statement he said things like the following: "...I met four white men about six miles south of town. One of them asked me who I belonged to. I told him no one. So he and two others struck me with a stick and told me they were going to kill me."
> This description clearly shows how life in the South did not change a lot after the Civil War.
> Threats, violence, and brutality were normal behavior of many white southerners.
> In this case, he was referring to Shreveport, Louisiana.
> In another part of the statement, Henry Adams said: "...I asked the madame (the boss’s wife), "where was the boss?" She said, "You should say 'master'. You all are not free… and you shall call every white lady 'missus' and every white man 'master.'"
We can conclude that although Abraham Lincoln had abolished slavery and it was the time of Reconstruction under President Jackson, white southerners did not accept that resolution and continued with the mistreatment of black people in the South.
