- The Roanoke Island Freedmen's Colony - During the Civil War, Union-occupied Roanoke Island, which lies between the North Carolina mainland and the barrier islands known as the Outer Banks, became home to thousands of former slaves. Initially, these refugees settled near the Union headquarters, creating a community that included churches and a school. In the spring of 1863, this camp evolved into a government-sanctioned colony. This site presents an introduction to the colony and the colonial experiment that was conducted there. It also features some primary sources and projects for students.
