Georgia Slave Owned By State Receives Generous Treatment
The 19th century Georgia state owned a slave named Ransom later known as Stansom Montgomery. For saving the Western and Atlantic railroad bridge over the Chatta hoochee river from fire, he was purchased in 1849 and placed on the railroad salary. After the war, despite finances, an 1868 act authorized $562.50 from the road treasury and a lifelong home for him.
