probably got really confused

those who were treated the worst were probably over joyed

most were probably confused, where do you go, what do you do

a lot remained on the plantations and continued living as they did & treated as they were which contributes to a lot of "slave land" being inherited by slaves and to this date is owned by generations of the original slaves that worked it.

if they still had family in Africa, maybe they returned, but I doubt it

when the slaves were enslaved, they were kidnapped or their entire tribe was enslaved by a rival tribe so their family was probably un-reachable. So maybe family members across America atleast had the right to see each other, but then again everything costs $, and i cant imagine slaves had any

After slavery ended, many former slaves sought employment and education opportunities in order to rebuild their lives and support their families. Some migrated to urban areas in search of better job prospects, while others became sharecroppers or tenant farmers. Many also became active in the Civil Rights Movement and worked to secure their rights as full citizens.
