How equal were blacks treated in 1815?
It depends on where you were living. While blacks were never treated entirely as equals, some states treated them far better than others, and gave them more opportunities. By most accounts, northern states had eliminated slavery by 1804. Free blacks in the north were thus able to gain access to schooling (Quakers were among the Christian denominations most active in opening schools that blacks could attend); by the early 1820s, there is evidence that some blacks were attending universities. Northern blacks also were able to open small businesses, as carpenters or painters or other kinds of tradesmen. A few became teachers or clergy. In the south, with few exceptions, blacks were still enslaved in 1815, and were thus unable to gain any measure of equality. One southern city with a few free black and mixed-race residents was New Orleans, but for the most part, blacks who lived in the south did so under the condition of servitude.
What is the numbers of free slaves versus enslaved people in the each confederate states during the civil war?
The question is flawed due to a contradictory premise and therefore cannot be answered. There is no such thing as a "free slave". If one is a slave one is inherently not free, if one is free one is inherently not a slave. It is akin to asking what percentage of the water in the Atlantic ocean is dry? However, if by "free slaves" you meant free Blacks (to be Black was not inherently to be a slave as there were Blacks who not only were free, but owned both land and slaves in the Antebellum South), then an answer to that can be provided. However, in an exact or statistical manner I cannot provide the answer, for in all of the numerous reading I have engaged in on this topic never have I encountered statistics relaying that information. I am not certain if it is known. However (again), the number of free Blacks would have varied in each state. The largest percentage of free, property owning Blacks would have most likely been in Louisiana. Louisiana was the most liberal (in the literal sense as opposed to the political sense) toward free Blacks.
