Not necessarily. It seems to me more likely that the fathers who
impregnated their slaves would free their progeny. So their would be a
higher percentage of mulatos among the freed slaves for that reason and
not because of race mixing in the north.

ps I once visited a friend of mine who was living in a house about 30
miles north of Atlanta which had been built around 1830. Adjoining and
to its rear was another house approximately equal in size and
construction. There were small doors like dumb waiter doors between the
houses for passing food. The rear house was the slave quarters. It
really was not much different from the other. My friend noticed some
writing on the wall apparently under a removed self. It seemed to be in
two languages. The second said something like: "An end to this war and
and end to slavery".
