MITCHELVILLE WAS MORE THAN A REFUGEE CAMP. THE TOWN'S NEW RESIDENTS BUILT THEIR OWN HOMES WITH MATERIALS PROVIDED BY THE UNION ARMY. THEY WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR CREATING THEIR OWN GOVERNMENT, ENFORCING TOWN ORDINANCES, ESTABLISHING SCHOOLS AND ENSURING THAT EVERY CHILD BETWEEN THE AGES OF 6 AND 15 ATTENDED REGULARLY.

IN 1862, SHORTLY BEFORE THE EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION WAS SIGNED -- WHILE MOST OF THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN POPULATION IN THE SOUTH WAS STILL ENSLAVED -- THE PEOPLE OF MITCHELVILLE WERE BUSY CREATING A COMPLETELY NEW, SELF-GOVERNED CULTURE THAT WOULD BE THE GUIDEPOST FOR GENERATIONS TO FOLLOW. THESE INDUSTRIOUS NEW CITIZENS BUILD HOMES ON NEATLY ARRANGED STREETS, ELECTED THEIR OWN OFFICIALS, DEVELOPED LAWS, BUILT AN ECONOMY, AND IMPLEMENTED MANDATORY EDUCATION FOR THEIR CHILDREN. IN FACT, THE REPORTS OF THE SUCCESS OF MITCHELVILLE WERE SO GLOWING, THAT THE PREVIOUS UNDERGROUND RAILROAD FREEDOM FIGHTER, HARRIET TUBMAN, WAS SENT TO HILTON HEAD TO SEE THIS BUSTLING TOWN, SO SHE COULD SHARE THE STORY OF MITCHELVILLE'S SELF-GOVERNED SUCCESS WITH FUTURE FREEDOM TOWNS.
