Free blacks included farmers, day laborers, artisans, or tenant farmers; they were concentrated in the upper South in Maryland and Virginia. A few free blacks owned slaves and small plantations or large farms, but they could not move in the same social circles as their white counterparts. Free blacks who lived in the South were about 6 percent of the total free black population of 500,000. Although free in name, they were denied most citizenship rights, and in only two northern states did they have the right to vote. They could not lay claim to public land, travel abroad, or even travel freely in the United States without a pass. In most places, they could not get an education. And, regardless of the state, they were relegated to segregated neighborhoods. In the South, free blacks primarily socialized only with each other.

Free blacks were able to make their own money.
Free blacks could travel anywhere in the United States.
Free blacks had all of the rights and freedoms of US citizens.
