So what happened to slaves after the war? Where they just freed from the plantations and wondering around? Was there any sort of program set up by the US government to help them out? Or did they just stay on the same plantations, but actually paid this time?

Most stayed on the same plantations and became sharecroppers, others moved north to urban areas. Hundreds of thousands died in the aftermath of the war through starvation and disease.

Some were sent to Liberia and created their own slave system.

By smart people who should have been listened to far more closely.

Wow, sources?

thx, is it reliable or wewuz tier?

about as reliable as anything else that comes out of modern academia. It did upset some historians for making the North look bad, apparently Eric Foner was his thesis adviser and tried to dissuade him from writing it.
