Don’t do deep research, just google a few letters that freedmen sent after the war and you’ll get the vibe. It doesn’t have to be accurate at all, just a convincing illusion. And it’s your story! If you don’t want accents, don’t do accents. God knows there’s enough of them in that region

Fellow poc I agree with #1 that’s a lot to research and if it’s not the focus of the story not necessary. And I’m sure there’s an argument for varying dialects and such too
