New Podcast This Tuesday

Well, we're a little bit late once again this week, but I thought I'd write a quick update just to let everyone know we'll be releasing the podcast sometime this Tuesday. Yes, that means the The Forgotten Deed will be available before our review of A Class Reenactment is posted. But on a more positive note, we'll be finally revealing the prize for our season-long contest... stay tuned to the Unofficial Podcast for the special announcement!

"Accidental Dilemma I" Available!

Re Ep 32 and the Washingtons

Ok everyone, so I've done a bit more research on African Americans owning property in the Colonies/early 1800's era in US history. I've found that in Virginia, at least, freed African Americans were allowed to own property as early as 1651.

"Anthony Johnson, a free African American, imported several enslaved Africans and was given a grant of land on Virginia's Puwgoteague River.Other free African Americans followed this pattern."

BlackPast.org


So there you have it. I do not know however, if this goes for the Ohio territory as well, or if this law was retracted, as many were over the years leading up to the Civil War. I also still don't know if African Americans were allowed to pioneer land, and if so, how common it was. Again, anyone with more info would you please let me know? Thanks so much!
