Where were known coal deposits in the US in 1860?
Coal was a good source of fuel in the 1860's in the US. Large deposits were used for industry then and even today, coal mining continues in places such as West Virginia. In 1860, however, geologists had maps of where they believed that large coal deposits lay deep underground. One line of coal, for example was a continuous line stretching from the middle of Pennsylvania southward to central Alabama. Another large coal field lay beneath the cornfields of Iowa and Illinois.

What were mixed American slaves called?
They were called mulattos, but that designation was for one black and one white parent. There were various terms for the percentage of slave blood, such as "quadroon" for a person with one quarter African ancestry, and these terms were used to describe people with differing percentages of 'slave' blood. That is exactly right.
What was the development of homes called when there would be whole neighborhoods with identical houses?
Well, in the bituminous coal industry, towns built by coal companies were called "company towns" or more commonly "coal patches". For example, most of the small towns in southwestern Pennsylvania were coal patches. As company towns, all citizens were beholden to their employer, the coal company. They had to use the "company store", paid high company costs, and the company even had their own "company police" to enforce rules the company made. All the homes looked the same, one after another, built on hillsides, and with very tiny yards. Bentleyville PA, Vesta PA, Monessen PA,, Charleroi PA (and more) were all coal patches / company towns.

Are diamonds and coal related?
Diamond is a pure form of carbon, one of its allotropes (the others are graphite and buckminsterfullerene). Coal is a complex mixture of carbon and organic compounds. The percentage of carbon depends on the age of the coal. (There is more in older coals like anthracite.) The exact structure of the carbon in coal is poorly understood, but it does not seem to be like diamond.
