Colored Property Owners in Georgia

GEORGIA, which before emancipation would not permit colored men to hold real property, has since changed her laws, and the thrifty colored men within her borders have been diligent in acquiring small homesteads. There are now no less than 83,318 colored property owners in Georgia, whose possessions are valued at over $6,000,000, and who have 338,769 acres of land.
