Check out the third installment in a series of four blog posts concerning post-Civil War Virginia and the lives of freedpeople after Emancipation.
In this blog you'll learn about a new system of labor that emerged after the end of slavery under the direction of the Freedmen's Bureau.
These posts precede the Library of Virginia exhibition Remaking Virginia: Transformation through Emancipation opening 6 July 2015.
