Alabama Urban Legends: Kowaliga (The Town of Benson) - The Town Under Lake Martin 

I tend to doubt this whole slavery narrative. Every Colored/Negro that was successful they say they were slaves. The said the same thing about Horace King and he was the greatest Bridge builder of the 1800s! The so-called slaves defined were super smart. The Copper Colored Negro are the Indigenous People or as we call our women RedBones!🤔 You ever wondered why the Washington RedSkins Logo was the same color as the Colored/Negros or why the Crayola Color Indian Red was the same color as the American Colored/Negro and they changed the name of that color to Chestnut!🤔 Please read below: We (Americans and Worldwide) were taught that the south was super racist during the 1800s and all Colored/Negros were slaves during that time. However, if Georgia and most of the South had Negros in Congress and General Assemblies during the 1860s-1890. Georgia had a Colored/Negro Senator in 1870 (Jefferson Hamilton Long) ( Republican). You had the Original 33 in Camilla, Ga. Who were the original 33 Colored/Negro Republicans elected to the Georgia Assembly in 1868. Mississippi had a Colored/Negro Senator (Hiram R Revel) (Republican) in 1870. As well as Alabama, Florida, & South Carolina. Also, the all Colored/Negro city of Wilmington, NC was thriving heavily before it was overthrown in a coup in 1898 (VOX has a video about it on RU-vid titled “When White Supremacy Overthrew A Government”. Texas Republican Party was founded by 150 Negros and just 20 Anglo Saxons in 1867. Doesn’t match what we were taught. Also, the Immigrants from European, North African and Asian nations only arrived in the mid 1800s through the 1920s (30 to 40+ Million through Ellis Island and six other ports of entry). This timeframe this up perfectly with the massacres/burnings/drowning of Negro towns and cities in the mid 1800s through the 1930s kind of like a coup of a Nation just as Wilmington, NC 1898. We were taught that the “Union Soldiers” were the good guys but when you research the “Devils PunchBowl” Natchez, MS 1865, you see that Union Soldiers corralled 100k Free Negros (Men,Women,Children) and locked them into a concrete wall concentration camp and worked and starved them to death. “The Union Army did not allow them to remove the bodies from the camp,” Westbrook explained. “They just gave ’em shovels and said bury ’em where they drop.” Now ask yourself, How could 100K+ so called slaves converge onto one city? In Mississippi of all places? Did they have cell phones, Twitter, or Instagram?🤦🏾‍♂️ The city of Natchez was most likely already their city and those houses and the luxuries in Natchez were theirs. I would highly suggest researching all of the Massacres below and with what you know now with regards to the Negros Republicans in running the Republican Party during the 1800s, I would take a lot of the slave narrative with a grain of salt and look at thing from what seems to be a military coup.

Sorry but it makes no sense! Its not a sprawling lake "from coast to coast " this story is ubsurd

My family used to own the marina above your head on the map, Anchor Bay, formerly Castaway Island. There used to be very different and amazing structures on the property. Some statues of people. An entire apartment complex that was solid concrete or some old mixture. All eventually torn down by new owners. This is a sad example of our hidden history. It is exactly true and you had even a deeper knowledge of the exact businesses and social activities than is known to the locals. The 63 bridge that is crossing the lake is the location of cemetery and part of the town.
