Labor Freedom

Labor Freedom is a theoretical construct within Reconstruction-Era Literature that denotes the conceptual and sociolegal transformation of formerly enslaved individuals’ right to own, control, and profit from their labor, distinguishing it from mere emancipation by emphasizing autonomy, contractual agency, and economic self-determination in the postbellum American South.
