American Civil War, Contraband Camp, 1862
U.S Mail boat dock, Harrison's Landing, James River, Virginia. Floating houses of the contrabands erected on the freight boats. Contraband was a term commonly used in the United States military during the American Civil War to describe a new status for certain escaped slaves or those who affiliated with Union forces. The Army (and the United States Congress) determined that the US would not return escaped slaves who went to Union lines and classified them as contraband. They used many as labourers to support Union efforts and soon began to pay them wages. The former slaves set up camps near Union forces, and the Army helped support and educate both adults and children among the refugees. Thousands of men from these camps enlisted in the United States Coloured Troops when recruitment started in 1863. At war's end, more than 100 contraband camps existed in the South. Engraving by J.H. Schell for Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper, August 9, 1862.
