| has gloss | eng: Nashoba Commune, an experimental project of Fanny Wright initiated in 1825 to educate and emancipate slaves, was located in a 2,000 acre (8 km²) woodland on the side of present-day Germantown, Tennessee, a Memphis suburb, along the Wolf River. It was a small-scale test of her full compensation emancipation plan in which no slaveholders would lose money for emancipating slaves. Instead, Wright proposed, through a system of unified labor, the slaves bought their freedom and then were transported to the emancipation settlements of Liberia and Haiti. |
