We ran across the data below in our research and noticed a peculiarity with some numbers that reminded us of an oddity noted years before by one on the team. According to the 1860 census, antebellum Anson County was almost as populated as it is today. It’s almost unfathomable to imagine that shocking reality, then think about the over half in the county that weren’t free and considered property. Only three counties’ populations in what is classified the ‘NC Piedmont’ exceeded the 50% threshold of enslaved population. Of the 29 that are listed in the table, only three crossed into the majority of the county’s population were enslaved.
Another part of this data that was cross-referenced with a previously learned curiosity. Of the three counties above 50% enslaved, Warren County also has holdovers of the Confederacy. The demographics of Anson and Warren are similar to each other today, and this is no doubt due to abundant institutional slavery in each of these counties. Warren County has a tucked away NC law that seems very odd due to the location and ownership of the property.
Nathaniel Macon is understandable and it’s located on county-owned property, but Anne Carter Lee’s grave is on private property and she is no longer buried there. It appears the taxpayers of NC have been flipping the bill for Robert E. Lee. Apparently, the property owners don’t have to worry about grounds maintenance when they have their séances over Anne Carter Lee’s former grave. Why is this still (or ever) directed by law? Below is a satellite image of her former resting place, the grave is stated to be 1/2 mile away by its marker on 401.
Anne Carter Lee, one of Robert E. Lee’s daughters, fled Arlington when Union troops invaded during the Civil War down to Warrenton. ‘Annie’ had a bad eye that a pair of scissors took earlier in life, but she still maintained well from what was written about her. She was still able to teach their slaves to read and write. She died of typhoid fever a few months after fleeing to NC, and they weren’t able to carry her body back across enemy lines. She was buried in Warrenton due to the war, and Robert E. Lee visited her grave once in 1870.
Good Luck Getting the confederate monument removed from In front of the courthouse in Yanceyville. It looks like the last time they were going to protest the monument there were Some Seriously frightened white people
we’re shocked it wasn’t in national headlines. Why Isn’t this known by the rest of the state?
Yes, they declared A…
*🚨STATE OF EMERGENCY🚨*
Please DO NOT tear down any of these monuments after reading this!!!!!!!!
The United Daughters of the Confederacy or the Sons of the Confederacy, depending on the monument, have insurance policies covering these monuments for exorbitant amounts. Removing these monuments in any way but a lawful one will only make them stronger.
