Abstract

The article offers information on how race and gender impacted the financial well being in the U.s. It mentions that Black families owned almost no land but demonstrated an almost universal desire to obtain it, at the end of the Civil War. It discusses that Black farmers had acquired the land against a backdrop of extreme racial violence, sometimes directed at landowners.
