McWorter sold property to other freed slaves and to whites, and used the proceeds to buy his family out of slavery. The town population reached 160, but declined when the railroad bypassed it. By 1940 New Philadelphia had virtually disappeared from the landscape. In this book, Paul A. Shackel resurrects McWorter's great achievement of self-determinism, independence, and the will to exist. Shackel describes a cooperative effort by two universities, the state museum, the New Philadelphia Association, and numerous descendents to explore the history and archaeology of this unusual multi-racial community. 606 $aExcavations (Archaeology)$zIllinois$zNew Philadelphia 606 $aCommunity life$zIllinois$zNew Philadelphia$xHistory 606 $aCultural pluralism$zIllinois$zNew Philadelphia$xHistory 607 $aNew Philadelphia (Ill.)$xHistory 607 $aNew Philadelphia (Ill.)$xAntiquities 615 0$aExcavations (Archaeology) 615 0$aCommunity life$xHistory. 615 0$aCultural pluralism$xHistory. 676 $a977.3/453 700 $aShackel$b Paul A$01594165 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910807101403321 996 $aNew Philadelphia$93962120 997 $aUNINA
