How was black freedom in the North limited in the antebellum decades?

This is my answer.

Explanation:

   Black freedom was very rare on circumstances in the south until laws were passed. Most southerncolonies will tell slaves that they can’t give them their freedom until a favor or they deserve it such asenlisting into the military due to not having a lot of soldiers enlisted voluntarily so they put the pressureon Africans since it is considered labor. Freedom was ringing all the time in the northern colonies, that isalso where the slaves go to run away from their fears and be free again. Even though, the free AfricanAmerican population was increasing tremendously and by 1860 the north free black population becameway larger than southern by being in the 400,000. If an African American didn’t receive their freedomthey wanted they will take risk such as running away to try to experience a better life and putting theirlife on the line. Got to the point where people like Harriet Tubman will put her life on the line almostevery night to help other slaves escape to not relive the horror their eyes only see. The freedom in thenorth had Africans work twice as hard, make escape plans, and die all to be granted a black person’sfreedom. Even though, they still went through all those unhealthy mind situations they still had to dealwith racism and inequality every day.
