Aftermath of the DC Emancipation Act 1862

 The source is “ Compensation claim of Dr. Noble Young, May 2, 1862.” written by Dr. Noble Young in 1862. It talks about Professor Charles Hirams Wright, then at Georgetown College's Medical Department, who sought compensation for the release of the people he had enslaved, who had been liberated as a result of the DC Emancipation Act 1862. Young's petition included Lucy Lancaster and her five children, Henry, Matthew, Rachel, Henny, Eliza, and John. In spite of Dr. Young's assessment of the family's value of $8600, the government only paid him $2,737.50 in compensation.

In response to the question "How did slavery end at Georgetown?" The source mentions a petition. In accordance with the Act of Congress enacted on April 16, 1862, the document was sent to the commissioners appointed by Congress. In the source, it was mentioned that there were freed slaves under the 1862 DC Emancipation Act. The mentioning of enslaved people and freedom on its own guides us to the answer to the question. This alludes to how slavery ended at Georgetown college. As well as this, it refers to the date of the end of slavery in Georgetown college. In this case, when talking about the abolishment of slavery, we are referring to freedom.
