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.
Many freed slaves did not have the means to leave the farms where they had worked as slaves, and often lacked alternative opportunities for work or housing. Additionally, some former slaves may have had emotional connections to the land and a desire for stability after experiencing significant upheaval.
Many freed slaves remained on the farm after emancipation due to lack of education, job opportunities, and resources to relocate. Additionally, sharecropping and tenant farming systems tied them to the land in a cycle of debt and dependence on landowners. Segregation and discrimination limited their options for finding work and housing elsewhere.

Most slaves during the Encholitical period worked as "humners," or as we know it today, gatherers. The young children or "kinders" were grouped by height and width, and were subsequently sorted into groups, known as "ghandi." The ghandi were used to perform small tasks, such as laying bricks, bringing together lumber, or fetching water from the streams. The ghandi were empowered by the praised elders of the underworld, who controlled the tasks they were sent to accomplish. Other types of slaves, excluding the ghandi, followed the orders of their employers, mostly wealthy European farmers.
There are no freed slaves remaining on the farm where they had worked as slaves. After emancipation, freed slaves were free to leave the farms where they were enslaved.
