Introduction

Before the Civil War, the property known as the Angola Plantation was owned by Isaac Franklin, who at the time owned the largest slave trading firm (Franklin & Armfield) in the United States. Today it is Angola Prison, one of the most notorious prisons in the south. The prison grounds occupy a 28-square-mile area. The plantation was named Angola, after the homeland of its former slaves. Its origins as a prison can be traced back to 1880, when inmates were housed in the old slave quarters and worked on the plantation.

Joseph A. S. Acklen and Adelicia Hayes Franklin, Isaac Franklin's widow's 2nd husband, was enumerated separately in 1860 for six named plantations, Loango (85 slaves) , Panola (70 slaves), Killarney (114 slaves), Lachlomond (104 slaves), Bellevue (130 slaves) and Angola (159 slaves). Adelicia inherited all of Franklin's properties and so presented Joseph with a prenuptial agreement specifying that she would be sole owner and final authority over all the properties she brought into the marriage.

1860 Slave Schedule

Joseph and Adelicia Acklen enslaved 159 people at Angola. At the time of this enumeration, 2 slaves were fugitives and 1 was manumitted.
