The historian Ira Berlin called this forced migration of slaves the "Second Middle Passage" because it reproduced many of the same horrors as the Middle Passage (the name given to the transportation of slaves from Africa to North America) These sales of slaves broke up many families and caused much hardship Characterizing it as the "central event" in the life of a slave between the American Revolution and the Civil War Berlin wrote that whether slaves were directly uprooted or lived in fear that they or their families would be involuntarily moved "the massive deportation traumatized black people both slave and free." Individuals lost their connection to families and clans Added to the earlier colonists combining slaves from different tribes many ethnic Africans lost their knowledge of varying tribal origins in Africa Most were descended from families who had been in the United States for many generations, In Massachusetts slavery was successfully challenged in court in 1783 in a freedom suit by Quock Walker; he said that slavery was in contradiction to the state's new constitution of 1780 providing for equality of men Freed slaves were subject to racial segregation and discrimination in the North and it took decades for some states to extend the franchise to them. ; .
