1868-1869 Militia Enrollments | Black Mingo Township

Historical Significance

The Reconstruction Census of Citizenship

These records represent a monumental shift in American history. In 1868, for the first time in South Carolina, Black men were recognized not as property, but as citizens with the civic duty to protect their state. Following the passage of the 14th Amendment, these enrollment lists served as a vital record of enfranchisement and community standing during the Reconstruction era.
