Remembering History: #Reconstruction ~ In 1863, Secretary of War Edwin Stanton sent Northern Activist, Tunis Campbell to Georgia, to assist the army in resettling former Slaves; it was the beginning of a new life. He purchased more than 1,200 acres in McIntosh County, and established an Association of Black Landowners. Emancipation is finally real -- until white planters return to claim their lands.
