Answer:

They could be legally killed or sold.

Explanation:

Free African-Americans required a certificate to verify their freedom because there were many people willing to sell them. Seeing an African American walking around town wasn't common unless they were collecting water or running errand for their owners. So, naturally people grew suspicious.

Also, many runaway slaves could say that they were free. And, there would be no way to verify that if there were no certificates .

Slavery was truly a terrible time.

Answer:

Free Black people still faced danger. Many appeared in court to ask for a Certificate of Freedom. The claimant had to prove that he/she was born free or had been previously freed. If the court was satisfied, it would issue a certificate with a minute description of the person including skin shades, hair texture, and body scars. Freedom papers were essential for freedmen who wanted to travel, particularly those working on the rivers.

Gnesinka [82]

If I were forced to live away from my homeland, I will feel a lot of frustration and sadness. Frustration because in history people who have been forced to leave their own countries is due to religious beliefs and political situations. I do not make any political decisions. It is out of my hands, but a person (President, first minister, etc) who controls the country does. For instance, Stalin expelled many Jews from Russia and the common Jews citizens had either leave the country or to die.

If I am forced to live away from my homeland, I will be sad because I am leaving my ancestral homeland. Another common reason why people are forced to leave their nations is called "religious intolerance."

Vsevolod [243]
I'd assume this is the first amendment since it protects the right to press and assembly which is what people need in order to take action.
