" In one known case, a former territorial Governor in Oregon kept at least one enslaved person until 1878, thirteen years after the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment."

In the tiny, deep south town we live near we were once bludgeoned by a story from an insurance agent wanting to impress us.

Her "brag" was that her family was the last in northern Georgia to release their slaves.

Obviously, because we were also white, she assumed we were also monsters.

I'm having trouble successfully googling the governor you reference. If you have it handy, could you give his name?

Thank you, William.
