A quick example of how they were changing the statuses on the census records.They didn’t even know the heritage of the people they were reclassifying lol.
A lot of it was based on “lookership” just like the haters and the trolls love to assume ethnicity based on looks.This proves that the word “freedmen” or the term free persons persons of color wasn’t just synonymous with African slaves.
It also proves that reclassification didn’t just happen in Virginia like the trolls want you to believe.It happened everywhere!!!
