Why did many slaves remain on the farms where they had worked as slaves?

Many freed slaves remained on the farms where they had worked as slaves for several reasons: Some masters asked (or demanded) that the newly free slaves stay on the master's property, offering a house and wages. However, by the time the master was done charging the freed slaves for rent and supplies, they received no wages and could not afford to move to another place. Some slaves were not told that they were free. Many freed slaves did not know how to live as free men and women. They would try it for awhile and then return to their former masters. Others stayed with their masters because the master had been good to them and continued to treat them well after emancipation.

How was life for plantation slaves?

In the book TO BE A SLAVE former slaves described their life. This book was written using first hand accounts of former slaves in the 1930's. They describe a life of living in cabins with dirt floors, sleeping on straw, and leaky roofs. They didn't have much. A pair of pants, a shirt, and no shoes. Some lived better than others depending on who owned them, but being a slave was never good. Slaves were property and as property they had no rights. Just to leave the plantation meant they needed a pass and could be questioned by any white person. Slavery in its essence is wrong.
