badly
African American women are viewed as people, humans and they are treated equally to everyone else. There are people who treat them badly and view them badly, but it not commonly found today.
African Americans traveled to Canada because there was no slavery there and they traveled there because their masters treated them very badly. They got whipped and beaten even if they rested from work for a minute. So they escaped through the underground railroad and they came to Canada.
Of course they were slaves. But during the civil War, they were treated very badly in the south because of discrimination. Some slaves were even killed for trying to run away. In the north, they were not slaves but still discriminated.
The North did not gain much out of reconstruction. They did win the war and help to end slavery. However, reconstruction was not very successful and the north soon lost interest. This caused the south to regain control of their own states. While slavery was ended, African-Americans were still treated badly and held no rights.
