The statistics I've seen say that there we're 250,000 free Black people in the South on the eve of the Civil War. Now if it we're me, and I was a free person of color, I wouldn't want to stick around for the inevitable carnage that was coming. Was there a mass movement of free people from the South to the North? If they stayed, why?
