Abstract
At first, the Freedman's Bureau grants land from abandoned plantations to thousands of black families, but the "gift" is only temporary as most of the land is returned to its former owners. Northerners assume that a free labor system will emerge in which freed black people will be paid wages as they are in the North. But with the destruction of the banking system and the South's economic base there is no money to pay wages. As a result a system of sharecropping develops which leaves black families in a state of perpetual debt.
