Henry P. Slaughter was an avid collector of many things; books, pamhplets, photographs, and documnets. In this series are the words and autographs of many famous men and women. Some of these people were fervent abolitionists, some former slaves, some political leaders-including presidents, and some were just average epeople trying to better the world they lived in. This series also contains a subseries of legal documnets. Most of these documents dela with various aspects of slave holding; sale of slaves, hiring out of laves, disputes over the ownership of slaves, and the manumission or emancipation of slaves. There are also documents dealing with identuring (of self and children); wills; and an oath of allegiance to the United States by a southerner during Reconstruction.
