This is just a quick summary I wrote for a paper:
- November 1861, the Union navy occupied the Sea Islands. Nearly the entire white population fled, leaving behind 10,000 slaves. Many northerners including; army officers, treasury agents, investors, and a group known as Gideon's Band, came to settle the islands. Each group had its own ideas over how the freedom process should be organized. Journalists reported every development on the islands to an eager reading public in the North. Some believed the free slaves needed education while others believed the best way was to allow then to work for wages. By 1865, the Sea Island experiment was a huge success with black families working for wages, getting an education, and enjoying better shelter and clothing.
