Exoduses Across the Ohio During the Civil War Era
The Mt Moriah Church in Middleport reflects a colored community that flourished in Meigs County during the Civil War era. The article recalls waves of enslaved people fleeing from western Virginia to Ohio, aided by locals, and the broader border conflicts and raids that affected Meigs and Gallia counties as Union forces moved and refugees traveled toward Canada. The narrative highlights the mass movement toward the Ohio River, the role of home guards, and the eventual settlement of freed people in Middleport and nearby towns like Pomeroy, with some families educated in local schools even before formal emancipation.
