This could spell problems for several reasons. First, she was fired because she was teaching the truth about slavery and the whites in the school didn't like that (they claimed that it wasn't written that way in the history books). So, this could stir racial tension and cause them to have their land and farm foreclosed on. Secondly, without her steady salary coming in they won't have the money that they had before .
