Self 961 solutions Over half of the free blacks in the South lived in the Upper South. Their lives were different than free blacks living in the North. Free blacks living in the North had many limitations but more opportunities than those in the Upper South. Upper South blacks, however, were treated better than those in the Deep South. Free blacks in the South lived in close proximity to slaves, but not in the North. Many free blacks in the South had family or loved ones who were still slaves. This stopped most of them from being able to leave. In the South, free blacks attempted to buy the freedom of enslaved family and loved ones. And free blacks in the South were at a higher risk of becoming slaves again. Many free blacks in the Deep South lived in towns. Even though job opportunities were limited, blacks could keep greater positions in the skilled occupation than those in the Upper South. Free blacks in the North also established towns and cities (Free Blacks in Antebellum America, 2017). Free blacks were confronted with many problems in the North. The growth of racism paved the way to "black laws" limiting travel to specific states, disfranchisement in most Northern regions, and widespread segregation in matters of "transportation, education and housing" (Free Black People in Antebellum America, 2017). Even though they faced many challenges, "strong black communities" (Free Black People in Antebellum America, 2017)were established in the North. Black families fought to get by. Blacks endured limited to tedious employment because employers would rather hire new "white immigrant labor" (Free Black People in Antebellum America, 2017). The North did see the establishment of diverse black privileged, complete with "businessmen, clergy, doctors, lawyers, artists, musicians and writers" (Free Black People in Antebellum America, 2017). Also, black institutions, focused on "by the black church" (Free Black People in Antebellum America, 2017), which included schools and voluntary organizations that thrived and grew (Free Black People in Antebellum America, 2017). Also in the Upper South, free blacks' movements were also restricted and were often threatened with "being sold into slavery" (Free Black People in Antebellum America, 2017) because whites continued to remove differences between free blacks and slaves. Up until the 1850s, blacks in the Upper South could get more skilled jobs. Because they had less white immigrants that contended with
them compared to the North. In the Deep South, a unique class system between "whites, free blacks and slaves" (Free Black People in Antebellum America, 2017) was developed. Free blacks, most of mixed ethnicity, developed a closeness with distinguished whites, but not the slave residents. For the reason that, free blacks in the Deep South had a high literacy rate and three-quarters were working in skilled jobs (Free Black People in Antebellum America, 2017).
