Go to autozone and ask for a rear brake rebuild kit. It comes with new springs and everything and its only about 5 bucks. I had the same thing happen. The piece that held the spring had broken.

you either have a spring broke or your e-brake cable is stuck but it's hard to tell from the pics.

Also with the E-brake. Remember that drum brakes have to be adjusted after they've been put back together in order to be tight. You can do by putting a screw driver in through the slot on the inside of the drum and rotating the teeth on that shaft in there manually or you can put the car in reverse and use the foot or e-brake to get the car to adust it automatically (this assumes that all is put back together correctly).
