Description:

"The slaves of William Ragland, a Louisa County Virginia slave holder, were set free upon his death in 1849. This account book meticulously lists the debts and interest charged to each slave by the estate of their former master, and provides a vivid record of the struggles of freed blacks starting anew in antebellum America. Or, in the case of Ned Ragland, paying $75 to leave the US for Liberia"--Bookseller's notes
