What happened between 1619-1865 slavery?
Between 1619 and 1865, slavery was a prevalent institution in the United States. Millions of African people were forcibly brought to America to be enslaved, primarily in the Southern states. Slavery created a brutal system where enslaved individuals were treated as property and subjected to inhumane conditions and labor. The abolitionist movement gained momentum, leading to the American Civil War and eventually the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, which declared enslaved individuals in rebel states to be freed. The institution of slavery was officially abolished with the passage of the 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution in 1865.

Why did many freed African Americans live near the plantations where they used to be enslaved?
Some slaves were treated kindly by their owners and developed friendships with them, especially if they worked in their master's home, or were particularly handy as a field hand. Some slaves were afraid of what it would take to live outside of the community they knew. These slaves often stayed on as paid servants or at least free room and board, after they were freed. They thought it was better than trying to make it on their own
