What do you think happened to them?
Easy to make the assumption you are, but I think it's wrong.
After he civil war majority of slaves remained to work on their farms, with far less cost and responsibility now on the farmer. And/or they switched to leased prison labor, which was vast majority ex slaves and other blacks. With the added "benefit" of them only costing about $12/mth with limitless replacements if you worked them to death.
I think the slave owners made out like bandits. Maybe I have it wrong? Anyone?
