Was Anna Ella Carroll against slavery?

As to her own beliefs, Carroll vehemently opposed slavery. Prior to the war she had freed the slaves given her.But initially Carroll lobbied Lincoln against emancipation. To her such a dictate would "convert every Southern man into an enemy. . . ." Unionists would view such laws as changing the rationale of the war from being that of preservation of the Union to abolition and subjugation. She wrote Lincoln, regarding the Second Confiscation Act: . . . .for with the dread of emancipation and, the apprehension of insurrections from arming the slaves, it [suppression of the rebellion] will require a million of men, Mr. President, added to the numbers we have now in the field, instead of the 300,000, for which you have called. This is best explained in the book Great Necessities, The Life, Tinmes and Writtings of Anna Ella Carroll by C. Kay Larson.


Where and how did Anna Ella Carroll Day begin?

The first memorial ceremony for Anna Ella Carroll was held in 1894 shortly after her burial. They were conducted annually at her graveside by Union Veterans from the Delmarva region of Maryland. After World War I as their numbers dwindled they were joined by Army Veterans and later still by members of The Daughters of The American Revolution (DAR). Inspired then by the upcoming 100TH Anniversary of The Civil War, The Salisbury (Maryland) Times reported on February 6, 1959 "This past summer the Maryland Society of Pennsylvania unveiled a monument at her grave at Old Trinity Church, near Church Creek, Maryland." And, on Aug. 13, 1958, Theodore R. McKeldin, Governor of Maryland, proclaimed Aug. 29, 1958 as Anna Ella Carroll Day in Maryland. This may be only the beginning. With the great anniversary of the Civil War but a short time in the future, we can expect to hear more about the role Miss Carroll played in saving the Union." It was at this time an effort was underway within the Maryland State Legislature to have Anna Ella Carroll Day declared a State Holiday. The first series of observances which started in 1894 continued for more than 70 years after her death. Although they faded sometime during the late 1960's many citizens in Dorchester County never gave up hope that one day Miss Carroll would receive the congressional recognition she unjustly deprived of by politics as usual in Washington, DC. It Dorchester County Maryland where she lies buried, country school "marms" quietly supporting Women's suffrage while not wanting to disagree with husbands chose to simply include her story within their studies about Civil War history; this continued locally into the 1970's. Anna Ella Carroll Day was reborn in 2010, only by coincidence in time for the Sesquicentennial (150TH) Observance of The Civil War, when a group Dorchester County citizens discovered that a full length motion picture based on her true life story had recently been made. After contacting the producer (Bruce Bridegroom), he came to Dorchester County for them to see his film and he allowed them to critique it. In a heartfelt gesture he gave them the right to host its World Premiere which was held on November 20th 2010 at The Hyatt Regency Chesapeake Resort in Cambridge. It was at that time directors of the Women in Military Service to America National Memorial at Arlington Cemetery, The Maryland Women's Heritage Center in Baltimore, and descendants of the Carroll Family asked the group to further represent Anna Ella Carroll during our nations observance of the Sesquicentennial of The Civil War. Thus, Anna Ella Carroll Day was reborn.
