Item Details

Description

Heading: (1865 Postwar Alabama indicts “Free Person of Color”)
Author:
Title: 1865 legal document, African-American "Free Person of color" indicted in Alabama 4 months after the Civil War
Place Published:
Publisher:
Date Published:
Description:

Samuel M. Morrow, Solicitor,4th Judicial Circuit. Lawrence County, Alabama. Sept. 28, 1865. 6 x 7.5 inches, 2pp. Grand Jury indictment of Hammett, "Free Person of Color", who "feloniously took and carried away from theStore House of Spaulding and Lucas one pair Casimere Pants... of the value of Twelve, Dollars..." Docketed on verso, signed by O.D. Gibson, Foreman of Grand Jury, and naming 3 witnesses for the prosecution.

Just four months after the end of the Civil War, the Southern legal system was reluctantly learning to speak of African-Americans as "persons of color" (even if they did not yet have surnames) - ironic considering that the Grand Jury Foreman had himself owned 16 slaves.
