Victoria Janga is manumitted by the colonial government

📅 9 July 1860 📍 Curacao

The index describes Victoria Janga as a nine-year-old daughter of Geertruida Janga and records the government as manumitter. This shows that the colonial state itself held enslaved people and processed their manumissions; state involvement did not make the institution benevolent.
