FUGITIVE_IND
Fugitive slave (individual-level)(Menard)Description
FUGITIVE_IND indicates if the record represents an enslaved person who was reported as a fugitive at the time of the census. Fugitive status was supposed to be reported at the holding level, not for individual enslaved persons, but some enumerators appear to have diverged from the instructions.
Only cases included in the MENARD sample are included in the universe for FUGITIVE_IND.
