Item Details
Description

[CIVIL WAR]. Confederate document recording the impressment of an enslaved person for work on "Public Defenses on the Chattahoochee River." 17 June 1863.

Receipt for payment in the amount of $41.00 from the State of Alabama to enslaver "Y.G. Mallone" for the impressment of an enslaved man to help build Confederate fortifications on the Chattahoochee River near Abbeville, Alabama. 1p, 5 x 7 3/4 in. (creasing, light toning).

The 1860 U.S. Federal Census Slave Schedule indicates that Young Gressum Malone of Henry County, Alabama, (1807-1866) enslaved 14 men, women, and children. The Confederate States of America required enslavers to loan their enslaved persons to the Confederate Army, resulting in enslaved African Americans being forced to work at ordnance factories and arsenals, fortifications, building roads, and other heavy labor occupations.
