One of my readers wrote to me "that prior to and during the War many northern states, Illinois for example, passed laws forbidding freed slaves from settling." I am familiar with the Illinois example. What other states had laws barring the entrance of blacks or freed slaves? I am not trying to start an argument, just want the facts and anything that will help me direct my reader to the info in more depth.
