The newly freed slaves, at this point in history, are running into more discrimination despite the fact that they are free. The sharecropping basically demotes them back to the level of slaves and because of the lack of education most of them had it was hard for them to notice when they were being cheated. Many people were angry because African Americans had the ability to vote and so groups like the Klu Klux Klan were formed. A new era of segregation began from there on out.
