ALs about too many freed negroes in N.C. 1852

Item Details

Description

Title: Autograph letter, signed by Miles Castin, writing about "too many freed negroes" in North Carolina
Author: Castin, Miles
Description: 1 pp. + stampless address leaf.Written to Thomas D.McDowell, Raleigh, N.C.: “…the[re] is a free negro man from this place who wants to be freed, the[re] will be a perticion before your members but don’t let it pas[s], for we have too many free negroes in this State for the Good of the Slaveholders. He has a good many names on his paper and cald on me but I did not sine it, don’t let him be free if possible…” The recipient, Thomas David Smith McDowell, was a large plantation owner in the Cape Fear area who served in the North Carolina legislature from 1846 until the start of the Civil War, when he became a Member of the Confederate Congress. His semi-literate correspondent did not make his mark on history, but from the rest of the letter it appears that Castin had an interest in a Wilmington bank.
