Explanation:

It is estimated that, approximately, in the United States there were one million three hundred thousand black slaves in the middle of the second decade of the nineteenth century, out of a total of eight and a half million inhabitants. Only about two hundred thousand blacks were free. Slavery did not have a homogenous geographic distribution: it was almost non-existent in the North compared to the situation in the South. In states, such as Virginia, they could become half of their total population.

In 1863, Lincoln passed the Proclamation of Emancipation, by which all slaves in the Confederate States were freed. The slavery would end with the war but the situation of the black population would not improve substantially.
