Everett ;;Peter;; Peterson I was a young slave living in the south during the time of the Civil War.He was taken in by a Lieutenant who was traveling with General William T. Sherman during his famous march.Peter was brought back to Shawano County, Wisconsin and raised in the area with very few other African-Americans.He was married to a white woman from Leopolis, Wisconsin and started a family.One of his son;;s, Everett, also married a white woman from Navarino, Wisconsin.Both of these men lived in an area with few African-Americans but as a result of progressivism and changing attitudes in Wisconsin.Everett, however, encountered much more racism and opposition to his life choices on account of his race than his father did.
