Some restrictions imposed on free Blacks in the United States on the eve of the Civil War were:

They could not strike a white person, even in self-defense.
They were prohibited from owning dogs, firearms, or liquor.
They were not allowed to testify in court against whites.

<h3>What were the restrictions of Free Blacks?</h3>

Even though there were Blacks who were free, they still did not have equal rights to White people such that they were not even allowed to strike a White person in self-defense.

They could not even testify in Court against Whites and any ownership of weapons of self-defense were not allowed to them.
