Answer:
Poor and homeless is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The vagrancy Act of 1866 was an act passed by the General Assembly of Virginia on 15th January 1866. It forced three months of employment to homeless and unemployed and if the vagrants ran away then they were forced to work with compensation along with wearing balls and chains. The law was enacted after the American Civil War and was controversial. It was controversial because it was considered to be discriminatory as it was passed when African-American slaves were freed and were looking for work. It criminalized the freed people who were attempting to rebuild their lives.
