About Paul C. Cameron
Paul C. Cameron (1808–1891) was one of the most wealthy slaveholders in the US state of North Carolina. When his father left him the business in the late 1800s, Cameron oversaw the work of 470 slaves across 12,475 acres of land mostly in North Carolina. However, as he got older he grew his business, buying plantations in both Alabama and Mississippi. By about 1860, he owned 30,000 acres of land and 1,900 slaves. Not only did he grow his slave business, but he also invested in the construction of the North Carolina Railroad, owned a few textile mils, and put in considerable stocks in two separate banks.
