Free blacks were not helped by education reform.
There were no free African Americans in the south. In the north they were free but still discrimination kept them from expressing themselves and having rights.

Free blacks were not helped by education reform.
in the 1860's there was 1253 blacks in the south
to encourage migration of free blacks to Africa.
Some were conscripted [drafted ] and probably did not want to fight, some free Blacks from the North enlisted, and wanted to fight to free enslaved Blacks.
Life for free blacks in the South was generally more restricted due to harsher racism, limited economic opportunities, and stricter laws governing their behavior. In contrast, free blacks in the North had more access to education, employment, and social services, although they still faced discrimination and prejudice. Overall, both regions presented challenges for free blacks, but the South tended to have more severe conditions.
Slave codes restricted the rights and freedoms of free blacks by imposing limitations on their movement, occupation, and ability to testify in court. They also reinforced the racial hierarchy and served to further marginalize and oppress free blacks in society.
well im not pretty sure how much in the 1861 but in 1860 there was 221,000 free blacks were in the north. hope that help :)
