THE FREEDMEN'S SAVINGS BANK authorities saw that he received food, clothing, and sometimes wages. Regular contracts were made and enforced when possible by the army officers. The speculators and planters made little money; in fact most of them lost heavily, but the Negroes secured some training for the responsi- bilities of freedom. Such were the conditions surrounding the Negroes who escaped from slavery before 1865. The camps, colonies, and settlements, whether on the Atlantic coast or in the border states, or in the Mississippi valley and along the Gulf coast, were constantly receiving accessions of escaping slaves. These came through the lines, or were brought out by such expeditions into the interior as that of Banks up the Red River valley or Sherman’s raid to Jackson, Mississippi, or his march through Georgia. All of those thus freed from slavery had some experience and training before the general emancipation. But the majority of the slaves remained with their masters until very nearly the end of the war. They worked as usual or better than usual on the plantations where, because of the absence of so many of the white men, more than ordinary responsibility was thrown upon them. In the Confederate armies numbers of them were em- ployed as teamsters and as laborers on fortifica- tions and in the munition factories. The slaves within the Confederate lines were better cared for and had better health than those in the camps and colonies within the Federal lines, but at the time of emancipation they were probably less fitted for the responsibilities of freedom. x
