freedmen
Former slaves who were released from slavery were typically referred to as freedmen or freedwomen.
Former slaves and former slaveholders often disagreed over issues such as land ownership, labor rights, and equality. Former slaves sought land ownership and economic independence, while former slaveholders resisted granting them full rights and opportunities. These disagreements contributed to ongoing tensions and conflicts in the Reconstruction era.
The rule of the slaves is called Imperialism. :)
Some slaves escaped to Britain seeking freedom from slavery, as British law did not enforce the institution of slavery on British soil. Additionally, there were abolitionist movements in Britain that supported the cause of ending slavery. Escaping to Britain offered a chance for a better life and opportunities for former slaves.
Under the Emancipation Proclamation and the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which abolished slavery, former slaveholders were not entitled to seek compensation for the loss of their slaves. The abolition of slavery was a fundamental shift in societal values and the legal framework, and as a result, former slaveholders were not compensated for the economic loss incurred.
