Also I am confused about how that relates to the option to "automatically expand league." (which i currently have off) I got into trouble in my previous league when I got to the Federal League in 1915 as I had had the auto expand league on and it kind of blew up the league. If I have that option off however, will black players not join the league even if the color line is off? Basically I want to be able to expand the league on my own but also allow Black players to join in the draft classes.Thanks in advance, I am very confused!

OK, and yes this is a poorly-explained and oft-misunderstood aspect of the game, so you're not imagining it. And to be honest, I don't have an unequivocal answer for you.
But...
I can tell you that pre-1947, players of colour will only come into the game with the bar OFF and Historical Minors ON. Under these settings, I believe they will come into the game for their corresponding IRL season and either go to their historical team or into the Rookie Draft pool, depending on the settings chosen.
Now, what I suggest you do is this. Set the league up how you want it and save a copy you can go back to. Then sim from where you are now past the FL and say to 1920, making note of what happens along the way. If something goes amiss then go back, change the setting that is causing the problem and have another go.
Even better, someone comes on here and is more helpful than I can be, I am afraid.
