2. A Struggle from the Start: The free Black
- www.hartford-hwp.com
- Free Blacks before the Revolutionary War.
- Connecticut had a significant population of Blacks who were free, but to some extent they shared the disadvantages of their slave brethern. While a 1717 law passed by the Connecticut Legislature bared any free Black or mulatto from residing in any own in the Connecticut colony and invalidated any land or dwelling purchased by them, it is clear that free Blacks did come to live in certain towns and own property. ... So in towns where there were slaves, there would constantly appear new free Blacks, often having personal ties within the town. ...

- We are finding that the assimilation of early Blacks in the New World proceeded rather more slowly than once assumed, and the bonds of shared African language or homeland lasted for some time. ...
- However, these bonds that drew Blacks together, free and slave, were not very durable, and there is little reason to suppose that skin color at the time could offer the basis for solidarity. On the other hand, Blacks' lack of mobility probably slowed the formation of a common African-American culture. What is more of concern here, though, is that solidarity was made difficult by the social mobility of a few Blacks, often the more talented and ambitious, who stood to gain through their association with white society. Land ownership and even becoming an elected official (as in one Farmington case) created the hope that something more might be gained than through association with other Blacks. ...
- The circumstances of his owning that land are unknown, but it is evidence that at a very early date Blacks could in fact become economically independent.
