Expalin if newly freed slaves were given the same standing in the community as white citizens

They were not. There were still seperate buildings for "Colored" and "Whites", discrimination, racism, and blockages in government (meaning things that White citizens could do, Black citizens could not).

Explanation:

texas governor sam houston opposed secession, but was unable to prevent it. in this speech, given prior to lincoln's election, he presents the argument that slavery would be safer within the united states than outside of it. it was a prescient argument, and one held by several other southern leaders.
