Read the statement by a former enslaved worker.
Then answer the question.
Which of these statements best summarizes the
main idea in this quote?
Enslaved people were given freedom and
had all their needs met.
We was just turned out like a lot of cattle. You
know how they turn cattle out in a pasture?
Well after freedom, you know, colored people
didn't have nothing.
--Fountain Hughes,
Formerly enslaved worker
