Historically, many African blacksmiths were not free from slavery, especially during periods of colonialism and the transatlantic slave trade. However, some blacksmiths were able to maintain their independence and operate as skilled artisans within their communities. Their status often varied based on local customs, economic conditions, and the specific historical context of their region. In some cases, blacksmithing was a respected profession that afforded individuals a degree of autonomy and social standing.
