Roanoke Freedmen's Colony17 viewsDuring the Civil War, Roanoke was a final destination on the underground railroad. If a slave could get to the island, he would be safe and protected by Union forces who won the islands and important shipping lanes in battle. Unfortunately, after prospering here, the islands were given back to the original owners after the war and most of the black people were driven off the island. Some still managed to remain and have generations here.
