Half of Gone with the Wind is after the war

And Mammy stayed with the family after the war when she was no longer a slave

So simple question?

How many slaves, after the war, when they were no longer slaves, continued to stay on with their former masters?
Zas employees or part of the family or some other capacity?

There should be historical record of that

Probably the majority of former slaves stayed with their masters or returned to them after checking out alternatives. Many became sharecroppers. There are historical records that don’t fit today’s narratives.
