Question: In 1860, where were the free people of color located, in the state where the individual who was governor during the Civil War died?

Zebulon Baird Vance (May 13, 1830 – April 14, 1894) was a Confederate military officer in the American Civil War, the 37th and 43rd Governor of North Carolina, and U.S. Senator. A prolific writer, Vance became one of the most influential Southern leaders of the Civil War and postbellum periods. As a leader of the "New South", Vance favored the rapid modernization of the southern economy, railroad expansion, school construction, and reconciliation with the North. <SEP> During General Sherman's Carolinas Campaign, Raleigh was captured by Union cavalry under the command of General Hugh Judson Kilpatrick on April 13, 1865. As the Confederate cavalry retreated west, the Union soldiers followed, leading to the nearby Battle of Morrisville. The city was spared significant destruction during the War, but due to the economic problems of the post-war period and Reconstruction, with a state economy based on agriculture, it grew little over the next several decades. After the Civil War began, Governor Zebulon Baird Vance ordered the construction of breastworks around the city as protection from Union troops. <SEP> besides slaves, there were a number of free people of color in the state. most were descended from free african americans who had migrated along with neighbors from virginia during the 18th century. the majority were the descendants of unions in the working classes between white women, indentured servants or free, and african men, indentured, slave or free. after the revolution, quakers and mennonites worked to persuade slaveholders to free their slaves. some were inspired by their efforts and the language of the revolution to arrange for manumission of their slaves. the number of free people of color rose markedly in the first couple of decades after the revolution. <SEP> While slaveholding was slightly less concentrated than in some Southern states, according to the 1860 census, more than 330,000 people, or 33% of the population of 992,622, were enslaved African Americans. They lived and worked chiefly on plantations in the eastern Tidewater. In addition, 30,463 free people of color lived in the state. They were also concentrated in the eastern coastal plain, especially at port cities such as Wilmington and New Bern, where a variety of jobs were available. Free African Americans were allowed to vote until 1835, when the state revoked their suffrage in restrictions following the slave rebellion of 1831 led by Nat Turner. Southern slave codes criminalized willful killing of a slave in most cases. <SEP> by 1860, houston had emerged as a commercial and railroad hub for the export of cotton. railroad spurs from the texas inland converged in houston, where they met rail lines to the ports of galveston and beaumont. during the american civil war, houston served as a headquarters for general john bankhead magruder, who used the city as an organization point for the battle of galveston. after the civil war, houston businessmen initiated efforts to widen the city's extensive system of bayous so the city could accept more commerce between downtown and the nearby port of galveston. by 1890, houston was the railroad center of texas.
