Slavery in the Chesapeake region began in 1619, when a Dutch trading vessel carrying 20 African men entered Jamestown, Virginia. The slave trade expanded in the following years. Between 1700 and 1770, the region's slave population grew from 13,000 to 250,000. By the beginning of the Revolutionary War in 1775, Black people made up nearly one-third of the region's population.
In the 1800s, the Chesapeake region became a focal point of the national controversy surrounding slavery because it was in the unique position of spanning free, border and slave states:
“Free states,” which did not support slavery, made up the northern portion of the region.
“Slave states” encompassed the southern portion of the region.
“Border states” allowed slavery but were allied with the free states, further complicated the region's politics.

Just. because formal battles have ended, does not mean both sides will accept the outcome. Prejudice and need for cheap labor was still deeply ingrained.

The confederate south had been devastated by the Civil War. Money and law enforcement from Union military would be required., for years! The US treasury did not make enough budgeted funds available for equitable reconstruction. Blocking pro-freedmen legislation.

Many of former confederate states would send pro-slavery/anti negro representatives to US House and Senate.

Political squabbling would continue with the compromise of 18xx would remove federal troops. Dominant white racist ideals would prevail. Banks not loaning to freed slaves, only at unreasonable high interest rates, would reduce business and land ownership.
