Free negro
In
United States history
, a
free negro
or
free black
was the legal status in the territory of the
United States
of an
African American
person who was not a
slave
. The term was in use before the independence of the
Thirteen Colonies
and elsewhere in
British North America
until the abolition of
slavery in the United States
in 1865, which rendered this distinction irrelevant.
