To determine the author's main purpose for writing Passage 1, we would need to analyze the content and context of the passage. However, based on the options provided, it seems that the author's purpose is likely to highlight the challenges faced by formerly enslaved people during the Reconstruction era.

If the passage emphasizes the struggles and continued oppression of formerly enslaved individuals, the main purpose would be:

**to show that formerly enslaved people did not gain freedom during Reconstruction.**
