Re: Colonization Efforts During the Civil War
In Response To: Contract Colonies..Coal Mines ()

David --

I've not read much on this specific act of Congress (July 1862 - repealed July 1864) or the proposed venture in "New Granada" until today.
As you may know, a number of books and articles have been written about colonization of ex-slaves/freedmen.

Here's a summary of the colonozation movement in the excellent website slavenorth.com
