Differences
Though the black people that were treated terribly people who helped Loyalists in the war againsst the patriots were given land and respect(very little respect), but almost all of those people went to the maritimes which includes Nova Scotia, and back then people didn't give land to black people because they were racist and didn't think they should have any
Similarities
With white people everyone was fine with what they did and people that were white were favored over people who had colour because at the time people that were white believed that they were the best and because people thought like that people with colour had less opportunities for jobs and weren't supported much at all by anyone
