What social opportunities would be available to a free black family living in the antebellum deep south?
Post Body
Hey folks!
As the title says, I'm interested in learning about the social and economic opportunities free black families had in the pre-war South. While Southern society was incredibly oppressive for people of colour, and indeed built on the institution of racialised slavery, my limited understanding is that some opportunities for prosperity and power did exist. Where and how were free black families able to distinguish themselves throughout this period?
Thanks!
