In the newly formed United States, there were no guarantees of freedom from slavery for Black men. The Constitution, ratified in 1788, allowed for slavery, and state laws varied widely; some states had legal systems that permitted slavery, while others, particularly in the North, began to pass gradual emancipation laws. However, even in free states, systemic racism and discrimination persisted, limiting true freedom and equality. Thus, while some states were free, there was no overarching guarantee of freedom for Black men across the nation.
