    Watching this late because I keep stopping to take screenshots! Great program. Greetings from Chicagoland, Oak Park, Illinois.

    We call all our family as people.

    Not hard to do because the census takers didn't interview or people. Their job was to reclassify us so they wrote down most of us as "slaves" and the bureau has been caught more than once changing people's "classification." I personally know of people who found that not only were their people intentionally misclassified but their families owned the farms they were labeling as plantations. They had my grandmother from 1864 classified as slave AND Indian even though she was getting paid and Indian "slavery" ended in 1743. We need to start deciding whether we want to be slaves or the kind and queens they found here. Sincere genealogy will disclose all that.
