Is Frederica haunted?
No claims are filed here — the record keeps this place for its documented history, not for a haunting on file.
The record — long form
Frederica is the buffer — the 'Oglethorpe's '36' that's the Spanish checked, the 'Bloody Marsh' that's the '42 won. The 'tabby' is the built — the 'coastal concrete' that's the walls' stuff, the 'star design' that's the Vauban style. The 'worthy poor' is the meant — the 'debtors' alternative' that's the colony's aim, the 'no slaves' that's the Georgia's start.
The 'route to Florida' is the passed — the 'Spanish freedom' that's the southward draw, the 'Maria '66' that's the eight months free. The 'contraband outpost' is the turned — the '1862' that's the freedmen's guard, the 'watched channels' that's the liberty kept. Frederica is the ironied — the 'no slavery colony' that's the founding's rule, the 'escape route' that's the role it played.
The file keeps Frederica: the Spanish buffer, the tabby ruins, the Florida route, and the freedmen's watch.
Frederica is the archive's Georgia file — the fort that guarded freedom twice.
Why this file matters
Frederica is the archive's Georgia file — the settlement that banned slavery then sheltered escapes.
A ruin keeps its irony — the file's suggestion being that Frederica's hold is the turned: the 'anti-slavery founding' that's the law written, the 'route south' that's the escape's path, and the 'freedmen's outpost' that's the circle closed.
