Schoen and Andrew Forest Muir, early scholars who conducted the most complete studies on the topic, although neither published a book. Schoen published six articles on \"The Free Negro in Republic of Texas\" and Muir four articles on free blacks in Texas before the Civil War.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Free black Texans experienced the dangers and risks of life on the frontier in Texas.
