No. The 'free blacks' were Africans. You're getting 'indentured servitude' confused with 'chattel slavery'. Africans were freed after a few years to start their own farms or go back to Africa. Africans also owned slaves (indentured servants) in America as well as back in Africa. All that 'mixed-offspring' nonsense is just 'Black Nationalist' propaganda to diminish the roles Africans played in creating this nation, but lying about what really occurred is just as bad or worse than hiding the truth.
You are purposely misinforming and misleading people; or else you're just dumb. But I'll spell it out for you:
You're getting 'indentured servitude' confused with 'chattel slavery'.
1. During slavery, virtually all blacks in the United States were chattel slaves. This is self-evident and most people don't argue it. Your asserting that blacks were "indentured servants", as opposed to outright slaves, just shows your stupidity and ignorance. Keep it up.
Africans were freed after a few years to start their own farms or go back to Africa.
2. Before slavery was abolished, Africans were seen as expensive chattel slaves with no rights. Since they were so expensive and so productive they were rarely freed. Before the Civil Rights and the change of hearts in the country, where could blacks farm? Nowhere. The only people who had "help" could buy and maintain farmland before the Civil War were slaveowners because of how rich and influential they were throughout the country. In any particular region, slaveowners were the richest people in the state. They could easily buy or lend land. When they had children they oftentimes gave their children gifts. Most people think slaveowners were dumb, but they were usually smarter than the average cac at the time. Slaves were expensive and only the rich could afford them.
Blacks in general were freed (not all but most) before, during and after the Civil War.

3. Mixed offspring obviously happened during slavery. This fact is indisputable. Black Nationalists have no interest in denying the roles Africans played in creating the nation; in fact they have interest in the very opposite. The only people who have interest in saying blacks held slaves are cacs: In places like Louisana or New Orleans (I don't remember), something like 80+% of freeman were mixed, not black. Many so-called blacks in these area held slaves too. What does that tell you?
