How equal were blacks treated in 1815?

It depends on where you were living. While blacks were never treated entirely as equals, some states treated them far better than others, and gave them more opportunities. By most accounts, northern states had eliminated slavery by 1804. Free blacks in the north were thus able to gain access to schooling (Quakers were among the Christian denominations most active in opening schools that blacks could attend); by the early 1820s, there is evidence that some blacks were attending universities. Northern blacks also were able to open small businesses, as carpenters or painters or other kinds of tradesmen. A few became teachers or clergy. In the south, with few exceptions, blacks were still enslaved in 1815, and were thus unable to gain any measure of equality. One southern city with a few free black and mixed-race residents was New Orleans, but for the most part, blacks who lived in the south did so under the condition of servitude.
