African Americans in Addison County, Charlotte, and Hinesburgh, Vermont, 1790-1860

Williamson, Jane

Black Vermonters were, by definition, oddballs -- a tiny minority who chose the country over the city. How did they fare in this rural environment? What sort of work did they find in Vermont's agrarian economy? Did they own farms or homes? Were they able to marry and raise families? Were their children educated in district schools? Did they participate in town meeting? Did they belong to local churches?
