The free blacks during the slavery were called indentured slaves. They were the ones that were owned by the plantation owners, but they were also paid for the work that they had done on the plantation. When they served their time as a slave which was usually up to not exceeding three years they were freed and told that they could leave. Some of them stayed on and some left the plantations.

How did Southern whites attempt to defend slavery?
Some whites in the South justified slavery on the basis of religion (using biblical passages such as the so-called "curse of Ham" or the passage in Philemon where Paul seemingly supports slavery) to say "God has put whites in power over blacks; therefore, slavery is OK." Others justified slavery for economic reasons: "It's cheap to use slaves' free labor; the economy will collapse if we have to pay them." Others used fallacious scientific reasons (such as "whites have bigger skulls than blacks, so slavery is OK because whites must be smarter"). Others used cultural reasons ("slavery is part of the Southern way of life"). Others were just racist ("blacks are degraded animals and inferior to us; we can do whatever we want to them"). Many used a combination of several of these reasons.

How did blacks respond to the condition of slavery?
I think the black community yearned for freedom and felt dehumanized by the way white people were treating them. The black community tried to maintain a family life in slavery. However unlike the white farmers in the south, the black community kept their culture and avoided first cousin marriages. Some blacks were free and were considered almost a third race without the rights of whites but did not have to answer to a slave owner. An older black colonization movement happened in the 1830s that fought to demolish slavery.
