All of the following statements are true of the African-American communities in the North after the Revolutionary War except:
  1. They dramatically increased in numbers.
  2. They were largely composed of free slaves.
  3. They were restricted from owning property.
  4. They created schools and churches.
  5. The laws in some states allowed them to vote.
Explanation
Answer: C - In free communities, African-Americans could own property. Where the vote was tied to tax paying or property rights, they also had the right to vote if they met the qualifications. Because the British had freed slaves who ran away and joined their army, the Revolutionary War produced a significantly larger free Black population with that reached nearly 200,000 by 1810.
