This category contains profiles of Free People of Color who lived in Georgia

Please only list profiles of Free People of Color who were born free or emancipated BEFORE the US Civil War.

The Free People of Color category was created to encompass, before 1865, People of Color (generally African-American) who were either freed (manumitted) slaves, former slaves who purchased their freedom, or people born free but required to register if visiting Slave States (including DC) and carry "free papers" at all times.

See this space page for more information on Free Persons of Color.
