Question 95244 • CCPS Georgia Studies 8 (45.00900) YL IC

Which detail shows the difference in status between free blacks and enslaved workers?

Answer
A
Free blacks were able to make their own money.
B
Free blacks could travel anywhere in the United States.
C
Free blacks had all of the rights and freedoms of US citizens.
D
Free blacks often attended social functions held by white Southerners.

Explanation

Free blacks were legally able to earn and keep money, while enslaved workers were forced to work for enslavers and could not control the wages their labor produced. This difference in financial independence shows a difference in status. Free blacks still faced severe restrictions, so they could not travel anywhere or enjoy all the rights of U.S. citizens.
