We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

What did emancipation mean?

If a unit musters it is generally to take account of who is present and who is not. A muster roll is the list of members of a military unit, often including their rank and the dates they joined or left. A roll call is the reading aloud of the names on the muster roll and the responses, to determine who is present.

How is emancipation different from manumission?

Emancipation is the process of freeing slaves through government action. Manumission takes place when masters free their slaves voluntarily. When a government ends slavery completely, the process is known as abolition.
