The best answer to the question is:
**D. Slavery was decreasing in those states.**
During the early 19th century, both Maryland and Delaware had large populations of free African Americans compared to other Southern states, partially because these states were on the border between the North and the South. In addition, slavery was less entrenched and was gradually decreasing due to economic factors and changing attitudes towards slavery, which allowed a higher number of free African Americans to live in these areas.
