Answer

Specific things that surprise about the legal restrictions on African Americans in the antebellum period were;

• Blacks in the southern parts who were free continued to live under slavery

• Freed African American actively participated in the American society like joining soldiers

• Free blacks purchased slaves that were relatives

• African Americans also participated in attaining freedom of others

  • Slaves could not marry under the southern law

Explanation

During this period slavery and cotton were the main drivers of the southern economy. The slaves were undergoing arbitrary power abuse from the whites. Through coping family structures and community networks slaves developed a way of accommodating their conditions. Christianity and songs also helped slaves to develop a solace. Slaves utilized the idea of paternalism to find chances in the system and earn some freedom and autonomy.

NNADVOKAT [17]
 ...Charged very high prices to move farm products to market 
The farmers felt the railroads had monopoly power over them. The farmers essentially had no choice but to send their crops to market on trains. There was not much, if any, competition on most short-line tracks that went through farm areas. Therefore, most farmers had to simply accept whatever price railroads charged to transport crops. Farmers felt the railroads could gouge them by charging high prices and that they, the farmers, had no recourse when this happened. They blamed much of their trouble on this monopoly power.
