1875 Talladega Alabama African American Freed Slaves Record Book Black History

Description

1875 Talladega Alabama Freedman Home records book. Most of the people listed as “inmates” can be found in the US Census records at the home. Some do not. I could talk for days on the fact the freed slaves were deemed as “inmates.” I would honestly think their treatment was worse than modern day inmates of our correctional facilities. I would imagine their living conditions were dramatically substandard compared to modern day incarcerated convicts. About 5 by 8 inch in size. Heavy stains. Creasing, folds, toning and wear. Some minor tears. No issues with the binding. Feel free to ask questions.
