Free African Americans often lived in the South due to historical factors such as the presence of established communities, family ties, and economic opportunities in agriculture and other labor sectors. Despite facing systemic racism and legal restrictions, many sought to maintain connections with relatives and friends. Additionally, some free Blacks owned property and businesses, which provided a degree of stability and autonomy in a region dominated by slavery. However, they also encountered significant social and legal challenges, including discrimination and the threat of re-enslavement.
