Book excerpt: It was 1865 and slavery had been abolished, but the transition from servitude to freedom was difficult for many blacks. Many of them choose to stay as sharecroppers on the plantations that once enslaved them. It was easier to do that, work was almost impossible to find. Sharecroppers did work such as picking cotton, planting cotton, and working at the cotton gin. They lived in hut houses. There were days for town, church and also school. Shortly after the years passed by their children move away to the north, east and west. Doing good for themselves, they never forgot what their parents taught them which was to always tell their children's children, what happened during their life time.
