In the North, the people of color were treated better. Most of the people in the North did not believe in enslaving or beating people of color, so many were given their own property, and given respect.
They couldn't have certain jobs or live in certain states.
the blacks who gained their freedom in the north they founded schools and churches to advance their rights and communties.
well im not pretty sure how much in the 1861 but in 1860 there was 221,000 free blacks were in the north. hope that help :)
Many blacks did fight in the south but not as much as blacks in the north. Blacks in the south that fought were either free land owners and were fighting to keep their land, or they were slaves of owners who were drafted in the war and they fought alongside their owners.
Similarities - limited/no rights; still discriminated; could not become citizens Differences - Slaves - treated as property; worked 12-14 hours Free Blacks - worked as servants by CHOICE; worked less hours; more jobs to choose from;
They were free but everyone was very recist towards them and they were not aloud to go to school or any places until after the blacks were treated equally.
Better then in the south
The blacks moved North to avoid slavery.
No blacks went north to escape the slavery of the southern plantation owners in the south.
They couldn't have certain jobs or live in certain states.

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.
Both.
The blacks lived evry where around North America,But only a few states didnt have slavery.
