Abstract:
Between 1862 and 1867, an experimental, planned community for freed slaves existed on Roanoke Island. It was under the direction of Union soldiers. Around 3,000 Afro-Americans lived there by the end of 1863. The colony had its own schools, churches, craft businesses, a sawmill, and around 600 houses and gardens.
