Abstract:
In this article Dr. John Hope Franklin is talking about the rich and comprehensive African American history of New Bern and Eastern North Carolina. Dr. Franklin states that right before the civil war began that the population of African Americans in the United States was about 19% of the total population according to census data at the time. When the civil war began in 1860 the population of African American had increased to 4.4 million and a majority of this number were considered slaves. In North Carolina there were 331,059 salves which was about 33% of the population around the same time. Most freeman in North Carolina lived along the east seaboard of the state which was know as the “black district” of the state. During the Battle of New Bern African Americans moved to New Bern to join the Union lines which lead to the creation of James city which was one of the highest population of free slaves.
