    Not what you asked for but, pre-civil war many were taken to Texas which was/is Mexico's which had already abolished slavery and banned the entry of slaves into the territory, Austin saw slavery as essential to their project and thats why he rebelled and why the US supported their 'revolution', which was essentially slaver-capitalist reaction from an Anglo/White settler state against a Mestizo/Third World Republic which had already had a black president (Vicente Guerrero) Also anyone that had been enslaved became free when they crossed the border so many did come from the moment Texas was annexed from the US until slavery was abolished.

    Videos there's a lot of Vicente Guerrero but in spanish, and series https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVGar1Hrt1M , he kinda is a big deal, you will have to dig around for english, I found this one which seems ok https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUQDj8aQ2Uw

    Also Guerrero led a real life people's guerilla war before it was made a thing :v

      That's really interesting, I've heard before that the whole "Texas republic" thing was really just a way to get slavery there. I'll check those links out.
