B is the most correct answer...
''free'' They were subject to curfews. They could get little work. They could not vote, they could not testify in court. They could not even defend . They could be kidnapped, taken to another state, and sold into slavery. Since they could neither defend themselves or testify, there was no recourse.

Free African Americans in the 1700s could be kidnapped and sold into slavery.

In the 1700s, slavery had not been abolished and so African Americans were always in danger of being kidnapped when they were free and sold back into slavery because:

  • as an African American, you were more likely to be considered an enslaved person than a free one
  • there weren't proper records to justify that one was free
  • the courts would generally side with the kidnappers

In conclusion, there was therefore a serious problem of freed African Americans being kidnapped and resold because it was not easy to prove that they were free. They therefore had to stay in areas where they were less likely to be kidnapped.
