I am bringing this back to the african americans sorta, but african americans could not go to FL, TX, VA, AL and etc. because they could be captured. They left their homes, their friends, they sometimes even had to leave their loved ones even though they never wanted to. So it wasnt “land of the free” it was the land of if you placed a foot on the state, you could be captured or dead, place. But the union did get some states so they weren’t slave states, and from our point of view know in 2018 we can see that they did succeed, and that most places in the world are “land of the free”
