Some newly freed slaves might choose to remain in the South because of family ties, economic opportunities, or lack of resources to move to other regions. Additionally, some ex-slaves might have established roots and connections in the South that made it feel like home despite its history of slavery.

Could Slaves inherit land from their masters in ancient Egypt?

In ancient Egypt, slaves generally could not inherit land from their masters. Slavery was a system where individuals were considered property, and their rights were limited. However, freed slaves could potentially acquire land and wealth, especially if they had been granted freedom and had the means to do so. Additionally, some masters might choose to bequeath property to favored slaves or freed persons, but this was not a common or guaranteed practice.

What would the world be like today if Lincoln had not issued the Emancipation Proclamation and freed the slaves?

Not very different. The E.P. only freed the slaves in the ceded states. It would have made almost no difference a all except maybe lowering the morales of people who thought they might be freed. Slaves were officially freed by the 13th amendment. That made a big difference. If Lincoln did not issue the 13th, we might still have civil rights issues today, but slavery would have ended from other nations pressures. (The U.S.A. was one of the last nations to use slavery.)


What was Lincoln's reason for not emancipating slaves when the war began?

Lincoln had a very specific reason why he did not emancipate all the slaves when the Civil War began. He knew that emancipating all the slaves might cause other states to leave the Union, so he only freed the slaves in the states that were already in rebellion.

Would you have to be a slave to be an abolitionist?

No, and most abolitionists were white, because most blacks were slaves. Some blacks might have contributed by doing stuff as an abolitionist, but an abolitionist did not have to be a slave. (More appropreatly slaves couldent, only freed slaves could do anything)


Why did freed slaves chose to remain in the South?

To my knowledge(I am a 10th grade honors student and have some experience in American History, not a lot though), some of them chose to stay because they were able to keep some of the land they had worked on, and it was all they had so they wanted to stay with it. Might wanna check on that, I'm not completely sure.


How could a Roman slave be freed?

A Roman slave could be freed through a process called "manumission," which could occur in several ways. A slave owner might grant freedom voluntarily, often as a reward for loyalty or service. Slaves could also earn their freedom by saving enough money to purchase it, or through legal proceedings whereby they could prove they had been wrongfully enslaved. Additionally, some slaves were freed upon the death of their owner, as stipulated in the owner's will.
