In the South, free blacks faced discrimination, limited rights, and restrictions on their movements. They often lived in segregated communities and were subject to harsher laws than white individuals. Despite their free status, they still had to navigate a society that denied them full citizenship and equality.
Free blacks often lived in cities for better economic opportunities, social networks, and protection from discrimination and violence compared to rural areas. Cities offered access to jobs, education, and cultural institutions that were not available in rural areas. Additionally, cities provided a sense of community and solidarity among free blacks facing similar challenges.
