About the Founder, Jupiter Gilliard |
| The State
of Georgia required all male qualified voters to
swear an oath of allegiance to United States
government under the provision of the 1867
Reconstruction Act. The State applied this
voting requirement to all adult-male Georgians
who had been citizens of the Confederacy,
Euro-descended and freedmen, alike. The
post-Civil War migration of freedmen was rare
before of the chaotic and devastating conditions
of Georgia at the war’s end in 1865. Therefore,
freedmen who swore allegiance in 1867 in Glynn
County were, in all probability, freed in Glynn
County. (read more) |
