English: James Joyner Smith's Plantation, Beaufort, Port Royal Island, South Carolina, 1862. The plantation has just been occupied by Union forces, the 1st South Carolina Volunteers, a unit of former slaves.[1] The picture seems to show the slave quarters and their inhabitants, whom the Library of Congress calls "slaves?".
