What was one reason that southern states pass laws after 1800 to discourage manumission?

One reason is that Southern whites feared that freed blacks would seek revenge for their past treatment as slaves.Other reasons were:1) freed blacks represented competition for white industries and professions2) freed blacks represented political opposition (as they would again in 1865)Manumission (which is simply the voluntary freeing of slaves) was unwelcome in the South because they felt that slaves would be more likely to try to escape if they had examples of successful freedmen. Another was that freed slaves might have legal status to hold previous owners responsible for maltreatment or injury. The concept of being "born into slavery" was seen as conferring a lifelong status by slaveholders.

Who took blacks from Africa?

The white Americans took blacks from Africa. They put them in a boat nude, and shipped them to America as slaves. They separated the blacks from their family. The slave masters did cruel things to these African slaves. This why African-Americans live in the United States. If the Americans never shipped blacks to America, blacks today would be in Africa. Also, this is why we have racism in America.
