What was it like to be a free aferican American in the north?
Free slaves or after the slaves were freed? Before and after the abolition of slavery, free African Americans really had no means to or skills to support themselves in society. For many freed slaves this meant they continued the same work they once did while in slavery, but got paid meager salaries to do so. A free slave in the North, before slavery was abolished, would also have the added worry of being captured and accused of being a runaway slave, which would result in their return to slavery in a slave state. In fact, many people made a living preying on free slaves, mainly children, in free states to kidnap and sell back into slavery. It would ultimately take decades, after the abolition of slavery, for African Americans to progress past share cropping to find better means of support.
