Bill Aims to Compensate Freedmen for Savings Losses
Hon. P. O’Connor and Hon. B. Ellis propose a bill in Congress to reimburse freedmen of the South for deposits with the Freedman’s Savings and Trust Company. The bill cites failures from 1865 to 1874, government reliance on the bank, and subsequent mismanagement leading to losses around $1,100,000, with roughly $400,000 due white depositors. The measure seeks to indemnify freedmen, arguing government responsibility for the bank’s creation and collapse, and urges rapid passage in the Senate and House. The report lauds the committee’s evidence and predicts Democratic support for relief, while anticipating Republican approval to aid the duped freedmen.
