What were slaves lives outside of working on the plantations?
In the south there were no "free" slaves. Only the northern states had free blacks living. The slaves in the south had to have passes to leave the plantation and anyone who was black was a slave. If they were stopped by a white southerner they could be questioned, beaten, killed, and taken back to their owners. Those who escaped to the north had to be careful because the "free slave act" stated that any slave that was out could be considered a runaway slave. The slave catchers would go north and kidnap free blacks, chain them, and take them south as escaped slaves. One of the most famous cases of this was Northrup a free man who was taken against his will and it took him 25 years before he was able to return home. The slave catchers didn't care because they were paid for each black they returned south and as far as they were concerned there were no free blacks north or south.
