HANNAH WAS ABOUT BORN about 1805

There is perhaps no better example of the complexity of "our peculiar institution" (American slavery) than the story of Hannah Reynolds, the only known civilian casualty of the Battle of Appomattox Court House, fought on the morning of April 9, and the battle that directly led to the surrender of General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia to Lt. General Ulysses S. Grant.

Hannah was a slave owned by Dr. Samuel H. Coleman. On April 8, 1865 as Union and Confederate armies converged on Appomattox Court House, Dr. Coleman , his wife Amanda, and their two-year old Mary Ann, fled their 250-acre farm; Hannah refused to leave. When soldiers arrived at the Coleman home on April 8, Hannah resisted them as they ransacked her master's home.
