Emancipation Society

The Emancipation Society (ES, or UES for Union Emancipation Society) is an organisation in the setting, belonging to the Searoader faction.

In-Game
Of the two anti-slavery groups that come from the Union, the Emancipation society is the more reformist and moderate one; several adherents, dissatisfied with what they viewed as passivity, broke off to form the Abolitionist Society.

The main base of operations of the ES is in the town of Nassau, and they also have a compound in neighbouring Andros Island, where they house and aid the slaves they have helped to escape, before they head off elsewhere.

The current Head of the Emancipation Society is Andrew Hegewald (b. 1854).
