Washington Post Reports on Civil War Slave Records
Newly available online for the first time
Today’s Washington Post Retropolis blog details grim documentation of work done by slaves for the Confederacy during the Civil War.
Slaves were used for digging entrenchments; strengthening fortifications; digging for potassium nitrate (saltpeter) for gunpowder at “nitre works”; work in ordnance factories and arsenals; work in harness-making shops; and creating obstructions on major rivers (James River, Neuse River).
The nearly 6,000 payroll records, from the National Archives’ War Department Collection of Confederate Records, were scanned, digitized and made available online for the first time earlier this year.
Read reporter Michael Ruane’s Retropolis blog: During the Civil War, the enslaved were given an especially odious job. The pay went to their owners.

Bull: You ready to FUCKING DIE?!?!
Bibi: I’m a BAD BITCH you can’t kill me!
Bull, closing the door: Hey
Bibi: You’re back early
Bull: Diner’s haunted
Bibi: What?
Bull, grabbing his shotgun: Diner’s haunted
I realized I haven't done any Pixel Dailies this year, so when I saw the #palmtree theme today, I decided to finish my Retropolis triptych.
It all started with the scuba diving theme back in August 2016, and I added the coral reef during this year's Octobit. The palm beach scene comes from the island where SpaceX is taking into orbit and completes the set.
Expect these soon to be seen on Retropolis city’s tourism page.
p.s. I never thought I’d be using pure grey to draw either wet sand or shallow water, but I think it works quite well in this case. Just another indicator how colors are relative and next to the warm sand, the grey appears closer to blue.
