Some pointers regarding Ben Parten’s “The Port Royal Experiment”
  1. Port Royal Sound – part of the Sea Islands region of South Carolina; now a series of beautiful beachside resort communities
  2. ‘liminal state’ – the ‘transitional state between freedom and bondage for slaves; basically their legal definition hasn’t yet been defined
  3. Garrisonian – refers to the prominent abolition movement under the leadership of William Lloyd Garrison, who argued that slavery was immoral
  4. ‘Free Soil Movement’ – the movement that understood slavery as a competing system of labor that impeded national progress; not as concerned about its immorality
  5. Gideonite – basically means people driven to victory by a deep moral compass; but they were Christian evangelists
  6. Speculators – people looking to get rich quick through real estate
  7. Reconstruction – the period following the Civil War
