How free were free blacks in the north? Most blacks in the late 1800s who fought in the civil war were respected in some ways that we have chosen to give them there freedom. We have given them many small new chooses to do in there new free life, but we have stilled disrespected them in many major ways. Although, some of the people in the south and north didn't like blacks, we still gave them the right to vote, there own educational system, and they had their own church system too.
