THE NEGRO AT THE CLOSE OF THE CIVIL WAR 11 hunters.” Crops were poor in 1865 and again in 1866, and the white planters and farmers were so reduced in means that they were unable to pay cash wages to Negroes. It was several years before a workable labor system was evolved. In addition to the freedmen’s general roving there was a stream of migration from the Atlan- tic states toward the Southwest, while all over the southern country there was a constant mov- ing toward their old homes of thousands who had been carried by their masters into the in- terior to escape capture by the Federals, and of those who had enlisted in the F ederal armies or had followed them out of the South, or had been gathered into the numerous “contraband” and refugee colonies. Frederick Douglass thus de- scribed conditions: “The government had left the freedman in a bad condition. . . , It felt that it had done enough for him. It had made him free, and henceforth he must work his own way in the world. Yet he had none of the con- ditions of self-preservation or self-protection. - + « He was free from the individual master but the slave of society. Hehad neither money, prop- erty, nor friends. He was free from the old plantation but he had nothing but the dusty road under his feet. He was free from the old Quarter that once gave him shelter, but a slave to the rains of summer and to the frosts of winter. He was turned loose naked, hungry and destitute,” 3 “FORTY ACRES AND A MULE” The “Forty Acres and a Mule” delusion exer- * Life and Times of Frederick Douglass, by himself. I, p. 89,
