Freed slaves lived in both the north and the south. Being a slave was a legal status, and by the same token, being free was also a legal status. Therefore, once a slave became free, he was free to live and work in the south. Many free blacks owned plantations and bought and sold slaves.

Why couldn't the north and south compromise about slavery?
When the first settlers came to the what is now united states they settled in the New England area. So people spread across America from up to down. But more people would rather stay were they live instead of moving. So as a whole more people lived in the north. Now the south needed more people because the more cotton and crops you can pick the more money you can make. So they brought slaves over from Africa to meet the huge demands of the farmers in the south. Before the civil war broke out there was almost as much slaves in the south as "Whites". So when the northern states (who had next to no slaves) thought that all slaves should be free. The south thought it was absurd to take away almost half there population. The south also knew if the slaves were freed, most of them would move to the northern states or back to Africa. So they fought for there slaves, there money, and there way of life. "Slaves, a necessary evil."- Robert Edward Lee
