Why did slave owners create difficulties for free African Americans?
At the time, plantations were staffed by slaves and the prospect of not having all of that free labor for their plantations worried the owners. They were used to having an eloquent lifestyle thanks to the hard work of the slaves and the thought of all that being taken from them was not a happy thought. They assumed that the freed slaves would cause a rebellion in their slaves and they would end up losing some of them to the underground railroad. They tried to discourage any freed slaves to come around their plantations and ran them off if they tried. Some ended up at the end of a rope and did not get to enjoy their newly gained freedom. Some ended up going to work for the white owner to manage the slaves day to day.
