No, because it's not fair for the other African Americans to be controlled by other experienced slaves.
After slaves were freed, they did not have money to buy land or animals to work the land. Many became share croppers and it was much like still being a slave.
Hairdressers were slaves of female Romans and they would either be freed by their mistress or they could buy their freedom. Remember all slaves had a "peculium" or savings and many of them were able to save up to buy their freedom.
After being freed, newly freed slaves experienced greater autonomy over their lives, were able to own property, make their own decisions, and pursue opportunities for education and employment. However, they still faced significant challenges such as racism, discrimination, and limited economic opportunities.

The first 20 Africans brought to America as slaves were brought here in 1619. They were brought the colony of Jamestown, in Virginia. It is believed that, similar to indentured servants, they were freed after a certain amount of time.

Yes, purchasing one's freedom was part of the custom. Every slave had his "peculium" or savings. If not freed by his master, either while the master was alive or in the master's will, he was entitled to buy his freedom from his savings.
The Romans had the right to keep their slaves as long as they wanted to keep them. However, many owners manumitted their slaves while they were alive and many freed slaves in their wills. The only restriction that an owner had was that the slave had to be at least 30 years old before he/she could be freed. The freedman then had an obligation to become his master's client and in some cases work for the ex-master for a couple of days a week. this arrangement worked best in the cases of imperial freedmen who many times rose to high offices in the Roman bureaucracy.

Many slaves were granted their freedom when their master died as a provision in his will. I believe a slave could also buy his freedom. They were usually freed when they were around 30 (manumission) Also when their master was very pleased and very kind he would set him free. eg. if you were a kind master and you were being mugged, and a slave saves you, you might free that slave. Question of my own: How would a master show that he freed his slave??
They sold themselves since they were to poor to buy anything they didnt become slaves when they borned but they could turn into slaves if they simply coulnt buy anything
