I want to know the answer to the following question:
When did the numbers of free people of color increase dramatically?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Revolutionary ideals led many men to free their slaves, some by deed and others by will, so that from 1782 to 1810, the percentage of free people of color rose from less than one percent to nearly 10 percent of blacks in the South.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
