History

These Quakers named their new found settlement "Albany" because it was the same distance up the Hudson River to Albany, New York, as it was up the Flint River to their new settlement.

Albany in The Souls of Black Folk

In W.E.B. Du Bois' The Souls of Black Folk (1903), Albany was featured in several chapters as a typical African American rural town in the South. William Edward Burghardt Du Bois (duːˈbɔɪz ( February 23, 1868 August 27, 1963) was an American Civil rights activist The Souls of Black Folk is a classic work of American literature by W In the book, Du Bois discussed the culture, agribusiness, and economy of the region. Du Bois described Albany as a small town where local sharecroppers lived. Much of the soil had been depleted of nutrients because of intense cotton cultivation. Once a bustling community full of cotton gins and toiling slaves, the place had declined steadily in the late 1800s as the Civil War and Emancipation Proclamation drastically altered the demographics and economy of Albany. Causes of the war See also Origins of the American Civil War, Timeline of events leading to the American Civil War The coexistence of a slave-owning South The Emancipation Proclamation consists of two executive orders issued by United States President Abraham Lincoln during the American Civil War. Du Bois wrote that Dougherty County had many decaying one-room slave cabins and unfenced land. Despite the problems, local folklore, customs, and the culture made Albany a unique town in the South.
