War Bonds - and the oldest ex-slave Jim Wilson

There were 4 million enslaved people counted in the 1860 census.

This film was recorded in the 1940's. Jim Wilson was recorded as the oldest living American. He was born into slavery and sold five times before he was 40.

In this clip, he is being exploited for the war effort. But that's just my opinion. You may come to a different conclusion.
