slave era insurance registry
DESCRIPTION
Insurance policies from the slavery era have been discovered in the archives of several insurance companies, documenting insurance coverage for slaveholders for damage to or death of their slaves, issued by a predecessor insurance firm. These documents provide the first evidence of ill-gotten profits from slavery, which profits in part capitalized insurers whose successors remain in existence today.http://www.insurance.ca.gov/0100-consumers/0300-public-programs/0200-slavery-era-insur/TRANSCRIPT

The Legislature found and declared that:
(a) Insurance policies from the slavery era have been discovered in the archives ofseveral insurance companies, documenting insurance coverage for slaveholdersfor damage to or death of their slaves, issued by a predecessor insurance firm.These documents provide the first evidence of ill-gotten profits from slavery,which profits in part capitalized insurers whose successors remain in existencetoday.(b) Legislation has been introduced in Congress for the past 10 years demandingan inquiry into slavery and its continuing legacies.(c) The Insurance Commissioner and the Department of Insurance are entitled toseek information from the files of insurers licensed and doing business in thisstate, including licensed California subsidiaries of international insurancecorporations, regarding insurance policies issued to slaveholders by predecessorcorporations. The people of California are entitled to significant historicalinformation of this nature.

possession or knowledge relating to insurance policies issued to slaveholders thatprovided coverage for damage to or death of their slaves.13813. Descendants of slaves, whose ancestors were defined as private property,dehumanized, divided from their families, forced to perform labor withoutappropriate compensation or benefits, and whose ancestors' owners werecompensated for damages by insurers, are entitled to full disclosure.
II. IMPLEMENTATION BY THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF INSURANCE
A. Notice to Insurers
The legislation was effective on January 1, 2001. On January 3, 2001, the Department began theprocess of implementing the provisions of the statute through the process of adding 2393 et seq.,to the California Code of Regulations.
The Department issued a Notice to Insurers regarding “Slaveholder Insurance Law.” The Noticeset forth in relevant part, that CIC sections 13810 et seq. took effect on January 1, 2001 and thatthe statute required insurers to provide information to the Department regarding slaveholderinsurance policies together with any names of slaves and slaveholders in their possession. TheNotice also indicated that the Department would hold hearings in order to gather public commentregarding the proposed regulation to implement the statute.
B. Rulemaking
On January 26, 2001, the Department issued public notice that hearings would be held in LosAngeles on March 13, 2001 and in San Francisco on March 16, 2001. The hearings, as requiredby the Government Code, were to consider and take public comment regarding the proposedregulation to implement the statute concerning the collection and reporting of informationregarding insurer records of slaveholder insurance policies issued by California insurers and anyof their predecessor corporations during the slavery era, which policies provided coverage toslaveholders for damage to, or death of, their slaves.
The rulemaking process consisted of the January 26, 2001, publication of Notice of the PublicHearings as well as simultaneous mailing of the Notice along with a document setting forth theInitial Statement of Reasons for promulgation of the regulation and the text of the proposedregulation.1 These regulatory documents were mailed to all California property and casualtyand life insurance companies, a statutorily mandated list of persons requesting notice of allDepartment regulatory actions, and to a list of interested parties. January 26, 2001, marked thebeginning of the 45-day public comment period wherein the Department solicited andconsidered comments from the public on the proposed regulation.
1 Statutory requirements for agency rulemaking are contained in California Government Code sections 11346 etseq.
-3-
C. Special Invitation Letter
On February 8, 2001, the Commissioner invited nineteen insurance companies that were eitheridentified in the press as having written slavery era insurance policies, or which the Departmentidentified as having transacted business in California in 1868 (the year that the Office of theInsurance Commissioner was established) to attend the public hearings on the regulation.2
D. Public Hearings
Public hearings were held in Los Angeles on March 13, 2001, and San Francisco on March 16,2001. Commissioner Low commenced both proceedings with opening remarks.
The San Francisco hearing generated few public comments. The hearing was covered by twolocal radio stations and a filmmaker.
The Los Angeles hearing generated a large number of participants, most of whom madecomments on the record regarding the issue of reparations to the descendants of African slaves.Local television and radio stations covered the hearing.
E. Rulemaking file submitted for approval
As a result of the comments received during the public comment period (written and verbal), theDepartment made some changes to the proposed regulation.3 The proposed changes werecirculated to people who had submitted written public comments, who had testified at thehearings, and to people who indicated that they would like to have notice of any changes to theregulation. The rulemaking file was submitted to the Office of Administrative Law onSeptember 6, 2001. The regulation was effective on October 13, 2001.
2 Of those nineteen insurers, three provided names of slaves and slaveholders; five provided documents related toslave insurance, and several said that although they had been in business during the slavery era, they searched theirrecords and found that they either wrote no slave insurance, or had no documents to indicate whether or not they hadso written. Another seven insurers that did not receive the letter reported that they were in business during the slaveera and either did not write slave insurance or were not able to find documents to so indicate.
3 The regulation was amended on April 13, 2001, (1) to clarify that the regulation applied to insurers and theirpredecessor entities (as opposed to “affiliates”) and to carriers that were “doing business” in California on or afterJanuary 1, 2001 (as opposed to carriers merely “holding a certificate of authority”); (2) to specify that “the slaveryera” was defined as “prior to 1865” (as opposed to “between 1745 and 1865”); (3) to clarify the format in which thenames of slaveholders, beneficiaries and/or policyholders was to be provided and (4) to provide an ‘outsidedeadline” of December 14, 2001, for submission of information to the Department.
The regulation was further amended on July 20, 2001, to specify that the electronic reporting format to be used bythe carriers to report data would be available on the Department’s website and to specify that if the Commissionerdetermined that a report was incomplete, that the Commissioner could require additional reporting, as necessary.
-4-
III.REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
The regulation required carriers to submit the requested data by October 13, 2001, the effectivedate of the regulation. Reports were to be provided on paper with names of slaves andslaveholders to be provided to the Department in an electronic format as well.
The Department’s Statistical Analysis Bureau issued a Circular SEIR-2001 to 1,357 carriers thatwere subject to the regulation (all life insurers and property and casualty insurers licensed to dobusiness in California), providing carriers with the requirements for the electronic format. Todate, the compliance response rate is approximately 92%. We are continuously in contact withinsurers that have either not responded or that have not responded completely.
The basic reasons for incomplete reporting are that the insurer failed to describe the research itdid to determine whether or not it has documents related to slavery era insurance, or failed toreport as to predecessor companies.
IV. INSURER RESPONSES
The vast majority of responses indicated, in some fashion, that as the insurer had beenincorporated sometime after the end of the defined slavery era and since there was nopredecessor company that existed during the applicable period, that the insurer had nothing toreport.
The Department also received a few responses indicting that the company or its predecessor wasdoing business during the applicable period, and conducted a thorough search of its archives andrecords, but was unable to find responsive information or documents. A variation of thisresponse was that the insurer routinely destroyed documents beyond a certain age and therefore,had no way of knowing whether or not a slavery era predecessor existed. A permutation of thisresponse was that a slavery era predecessor existed, as evidenced by other corporate archives, butthat responsive documents had been lost or destroyed.
The insurers listed herein were able to locate and provide to the Department, information and/orrecords responsive to the regulation.
Substantive responses were received from the following insurers.
ACE USAAce reported that it is the successor to two corporations, Insurance Company of North America(ICNA) and Aetna Fire, which conducted business during the slavery era.
Research methodologyAce reported that in order to comply with the regulation, it retained a law firm to assist in itsefforts to identify and compile all of the records and information related to slavery era insurancepolicies. Ace said that, through counsel, it contacted archivists and historians from several
-5-
universities and historical societies and obtained insights on how they might most fully identifyany responsive data located in its archives.
To assist in its search, Ace acquired a database of information about the transatlantic slave tradethat contains the records of 27,233 transatlantic slave ship voyages made between 1595 and1866. Ace reported that it also reviewed the historical records that it received from itspredecessor corporations.
Ace reported that it found a copy of a slave policy written in 1855 by Aetna Life, and that eventhough this was after its separation from Aetna Fire, in the interests of full disclosure it wassubmitting the document. This policy insured the life a slave named Peter, identified as a laborer,and was issued in Mississippi.
AETNAAetna filed a report on behalf of the four of its companies presently authorized and licensed to dobusiness in California. It stated that Aetna Life Insurance Company (ALIC) is the only one ofthose companies that was in existence during the slavery era.
Research methodologyAetna reported that it established a team of lawyers, paralegals and business people, who werecharged with coordinating its response and overseeing its compliance with the regulation.
Aetna reported that ALIC was incorporated in Connecticut in 1853 and was first licensed towrite life insurance in California in 1868.
Aetna reported that the team conducted a thorough review of potentially relevant practices of allof its companies that issued life insurance anywhere in the United States. The team reviewed allpertinent documents in its possession and also communicated with former subsidiaries for allpotentially applicable materials. It reported on materials and information still located within thecompany as well as materials and information transferred to the former subsidiaries.
Aetna reported an extensive internal search through its archives, by several employees, to locaterecords, files and other information required by the statute and to determine the extent, locationand nature of its business activity and operations from the slavery era. Aetna reported that thesearch included, but was not limited to, historical policies, annual reports, company publications,rare books, agent instruction manuals, communications to agents, marketing materials andapplications, records housed outside of the company, communications with the company’scomplaint units, communications with relevant managers and other personnel, discussions withits storage facility, a review of all identifiable life insurance documents retrieved from its storagefacility,4 as well as communications with the South Carolina Historical Society.
4 Aetna reported that in 1994, their prior storage facility took over the document storage function from the companyand at that time, a large amount of life insurance related materials were destroyed in the ordinary course of businessand within the company’s document retention guidelines.
-6-
Aetna also reported that the team spoke to former employees now employed at its formersubsidiary, who informed them that the administrative database that tracks all of the former lifeinsurance policies does not contain any policies from the slavery era. Aetna reported that thesystem automatically deletes the files after the policies have terminated, and therefore, no liferecords would exist either in paper or electronic format. Aetna reported that it tested thedatabase with a query that produced an extract that listed the oldest policy as one that was issuedin 1923. It reported that after reasonable efforts and due diligence, the team was not able toidentify any additional records relating to slavery era insurance.
Names of slaves and slaveholdersAetna’s search uncovered seven policies, some of which cover multiple lives. In most instances,there is no record of the last name of the insured slave. Five of the policies were found in thecompany’s archive, and the other two were obtained from outside sources. Aetna produced a listof sixteen first names of slaves culled from the seven policies. Sometime after its initial report,Aetna discovered a ledger book containing the names of slaves and slaveholders and submittedthose additional names as well.
AIGAIG reported that in August 2001 it acquired America General Corporation (ACG), comprised ofseventeen insurers licensed to do business in California. AIG reported that of those seventeen,only United States Life Insurance Company in the City of New York (U.S. Life) did businessduring the slavery era.
AIG reported that it used a professional staff of certified archivists to research the records of thecompany and its subsidiaries.
AIG reported that its corporate archivist researched records and interviewed staff in all ACGoffices and that all potentially relevant documents, both paper and microfilm, were examined.AIG also interviewed records administrators in their facilities in several states and at its outsidestorage facility.
While AIG’s research failed to uncover copies of any slavery era insurance policies, the searchdid locate a magazine article which contains a replica of a policy issued to a slaveholder in theamount of $550.00 on the life of one male slave known as “Charles.” The article recites theprovisions of the policy, which, as a matter of historical interest, contained a number ofexclusions [inter alia, “death to said slave by means of any invasion, insurrection, riot, civilcommotion, or of any military or usurped power, or in case the slave shall die by his own hand,or in consequence of a duel, or by the hands of justice…this Policy shall be void, null, and of noeffect.]
AIG also provided a list of the names of slaves and slaveholders culled from U.S. Life boundregistries.

MANHATTAN LIFEManhattan Life provided one policy that insured shippers for their cargo of 700 Chinese coolieson a journey from China in 1854.
Manhattan Life quoted a 1961 speech made by the president of the company.
“Early in 1854 Howland and Aspinwall, New York ship owners, approached TheManhattan Life Insurance Company for insurance on a group of about 700Chinese coolies sailing on the Clipper Sea Witch from Swatow, China to Panama.These 700 coolies were valued at $120.00 each and the ship owners desired$84,000.00 of insurance to cover their lives. The minutes of the Board meetingsduring this period indicate heated discussions as to whether or not this risk shouldbe taken. In any event, the Company finally decided to issue what we believe tobe one of the first, if not the first, Group policy ever to be written by an AmericanLife Insurance Company. The underwriting was based on certain stipulations,and particularly required that a Doctor must make the voyage aboard the Clipper,and be responsible for sanitary conditions, food, and other factors affectingmortality.
The Manhattan Life assumed one-forth [sic] of the total risk, or $21,000.00 for apremium of $840.00. The balance of the risk was reinsured with four othercompanies….
Actually 720 coolies were hipped [sic] by the Sea Witch, which incidentally stillholds the China to New York record for sailing ships. Within twenty-four hoursafter sailing, three of the Panama bound coolies jumped overboard and were lost.During the sixty-five day voyage, eleven other coolies died of sundry diseasesaccording to the doctor’s report, dated March 31, 1854 in the City of Panama. OnApril 29, 1854 The Manhattan Life paid $408.00, one-fourth of the total loss, andconsequently made $432.00 on this transaction.”
The speaker mentioned that the policy insuring the workers had been donated to the cityMuseum of New York. Manhattan Life ordered the policy and enclosed it with its report.
NEW YORK LIFENew York Life reported that its predecessor, Nautilus Insurance Company began writing lifeinsurance policies in 1845 and sold slaveholder life insurance policies for approximately twoyears in the 1840’s until the Trustees voted to end the sale of such policies in 1848.
New York Life stated that it abhors the practice of slavery and profoundly regrets that itspredecessor was associated in any way with that contemptible practice for even a brief period oftime. It went on to state that the fact that slavery was legal in certain parts of the United Statesduring that time does not make it any less repugnant. New York Life stated that while it regretsthis history, it understands the historical value of its archival records and that contributing to our
-8-
society’s understanding of the slavery era and helping people trace their genealogy are laudableobjectives.
Research methodologyNew York Life reported that it undertook an extensive review of its slavery era archival records,including published histories of the company, Policy Registers, Index of Applicants and DeathClaim Book. The company also reports that it retained outside professional archivists to assistwith this research effort.
Slavery era insurance policiesNew York Life reported that of the first 1,000 policies written by the predecessor, 339 were onthe lives of slaves and that these policies were usually written for less than $500 and for a termof one year. New York Life reported that there were three death claims under slave policies inthe period under review, with a total of $1,050 paid.
Names of slaves and slaveholdersNew York Life provided a list of 484 names of slaves and 233 names of slaveholders
PENN MUTUALPenn Mutual reported that during the slavery era it was licensed to do business in Pennsylvaniaonly and so wrote no slave insurance. It reports that it was licensed to write insurance inVirginia as of 1912.
Slavery era insurance policiesPenn Mutual reported that they found two documents in their archives regarding insurancepolicies issued to slaveholders that provided coverage for the death of slaves in Virginia. Thedocuments provided no indication of the identity of the insurance company that issued thosepolicies, and no indication of how or why Penn Mutual had acquired the documents in itshistorical archive. Copies of the documents were provided along with the report.
PROVIDENCE WASHINGTONProvidence Washington reported that it celebrated its 200th anniversary in 1999 and inpreparation, went through all of its files along with material at the Rhode Island HistoricalSociety. The company reported that although no material was found indicating that it hadinsured slaves, they did find an entry in one of the company’s historical reference books settingforth the account of a meeting held in 1799.
“…When the subscription was opened, it revealed that 2623 shares had been spoken for,a clear demonstration of confidence in the company’s future.
Before the subscription lists were opened, the meeting solemnly voted ‘[t]hat noinsurance is to be made on behalf of this company upon any vessel, or propertyladen therein, for the purpose of carrying on the Slave Trade.’ Any subscriber
-9-
unwilling to abide by this condition was privileged to withdraw; no one did. Thisrefusal to insure slaving vessels illustrates a basic change both in the moral andcommercial attitude toward slavery. Before the Revolution the prosperity of RhodeIsland had been founded on the slave trade, molasses, and rum; the trade was consideredto be highly respectable and indeed essential to the economy of the Colony. The War ofIndependence had cut off the importation of Negroes throughout the colonies; and inRhode Island the Quakers, who occupied many of the public offices, allied with otherswho were imbued with the new philosophy of freedom, had grasped the opportunity tomake this condition permanent. A law prohibiting the importation of slaves, which waspassed in 1774 as part of the non-importation agreement directed against British trade,remained on the statute books after the signing of the peace in 1783. Legislation passedby the General Assembly in 1784 provided for gradual emancipation by putting an endto hereditary slavery, and in 1787 Rhode Islanders were forbidden to take part in theslave trade under penalty of £100 fine for each slave transported and £1000 fine for eachvessel so employed. The abolitionists had won their battle in Rhode Island… ”(emphasis in the report).
ROYAL & SUN ALLIANCERoyal & Sun Alliance submitted a consolidated report on behalf of all of its companies licensedin California.
Research methodologyRoyal & Sun Alliance reported that they conducted a thorough search for records of policiesissued to slaveholders during the slavery era for injury to or death of slaves and found that theyhad no such records in their possession. The company reported, however, that historical recordsexist, indicating that London Assurance, one of their member companies, was a marine insurerstarting in 1720 and limited evidence suggests that this company may have insured owners ofslave-carrying vessels. Royal & Sun Alliance reported that it was not possible for them toquantify the extent of the insurance written by this affiliate. The company reported that the slavetrade was abolished in England in 1806, pursuant to Parliament’s passage of the Abolition ofSlaves Act, and the insurance of slaves and ships was prohibited in the United Kingdom in 1811pursuant to the Slave Trade Act.
Historical information regarding insurance for human cargoRoyal & Sun Alliance submitted an excerpt of a corporate history of London Assurance writtenin 1949.
“That the fear of capture by pirates, with the consequent risk of being sold intoslavery, was a very real one, is reflected in the following and many similarinsurances: ‘£300 on Capt. Theo Weight, and £75 on Edward Morris, a boy ofabout 14 years old, that they and neither of them shall not be carried intoslavery…’ In the event of a claim being presented, one supposed the moneywould have been applied to the payment of a ransom. The horrors of slavery, foroneself, did not, however, preclude our ancestors from indulging, without qualms,
-10-
in the abduction of Negroes from their homes, and making a profitablespeculation in their shipment, as mere cargo, to the British plantations in Virginiaand Carolina, or the West Indian islands. The early books of The LondonAssurance are full of such transactions, often, one regrets to state, for account ofdirectors of the Corporation. Here is one: ‘Captain Richard Pinnell [Director1726-38] 30th August, 1733 on the Mary Snow and Goods, both or either,according to the Assured’s interest, at and from London to the Coast of Africa andat and from thence to her port of discharge in the British West Indies. Warrantedsheathed5, and free from all damage by prohibited trade, and free from the deathof Slaves either Natural, Violent, or Voluntary. £800.’ [Emphasis in the original.]
In a similar risk on 10 October 1733, on the Penelope Snow for the same trader,for £300, it was stated that ‘the Assured doth hereby agree to warrant the shipsheathed, to take on himself all loss and damage arising by Death and Insurrectionof Negroes’. [Emphasis in the original.]
…[O]n Saturday, 15 June 1728, the following entry appears in the underwritingrecord: ‘Henry Neale, Esq.[Director 1720-47], on 50 negroes in the BenedictaBrigantina (Arthur Reymond, Captain) at and from Gambia to Virginia. TheAssured doth hereby agree to warrant the ship sheathed, to take on himself allAverages arising by Death and Insurrection of negroes, and all loss or damage byprohibited trade. £500 @ 3%’ Ten pounds a head! [Emphasis in the original.]”
An Assurance policy with similar language was submitted by the Corporation for counsel’sopinion in 1729:
“ ‘A policy of insurance was made on Ship and Goods at and from London to theCoast of Africa and thence to Carolina upon interest with the following Warranty:The Assured hath agreed to warrant the ship sheathed, to take upon himself allAverages arising by Death and Insurrection of Negroes and all Loss and Damageby prohibited trade.’ The ship proceeded to Africa, and the Master disposed ofthe outward-bound cargo in purchasing Negroes, a few Elephant’s teeth, andsome Gold Dust, and having finished the trade there, departed for Carolina, butbefore he got off the Coast, the Negroes made an insurrection, killed two of themariners, and the Ship taking fire, the Master and rest of the mariners quitted herand got away in the boat, the Negroes ran the ship ashore and made their escapeby leaping overboard and swimming to land, as is supposed, and the Ship wasbeat to pieces and totally lost with other goods on board.’ ”
5 “Sheathing” the ship refers to the practice of nailing copper sheathing over the ship’s wooden hill to preventslaves from boring holes in the sides of the vessel in order to sink the ship.
-11-
The question put to counsel was:
“ ‘Whether the Warranty does not exclude the insurer as to all Damage to Shipand Cargo arising by means of the Insurrection, or whether such damage only aswas sustained by loss of the Negroes, or how far and as to what Damage will thisWarranty be construed to extend?’ To which counsel replied: ‘I think the loss ofthe Negroes will be expressly within the Warranty and must be sustained by theAssured, and so I think it will be also as to ye burning of the Ship, if the same wasburnt by the Negroes, or if such burning was a consequence of the insurrection.’ “
…There is a tradition in the Corporation, though no written evidence of it hascome to light, [ftnt. 1 - many of the records of the period have unfortunately beendestroyed] that in the middle of the eighteenth century a cargo of slaves (each ofwhom was branded on the thigh) was insured, and heavy weather beingencountered on the voyage, some of the Negroes were jettisoned, and in theconsequence a claim for General Average was presented by the owners. An Actof 1799 put an end to such inhuman practices, for it provided that: ‘No loss ofdamage shall hereafter be recoverable on Account of the Mortality of Slaves bynatural Death, or ill-treatment, or against Loss by throwing overboard of Slaveson any Account whatsoever, for restraints and detainments of princes, and peopleof Africa, caused through any Aggression for the Purpose of procuring Slaves’.The Acts of 1806 and 1811, which abolished the Slave Trade, prohibited, underheavy penalties, the insurance of slaves or slave-ships.”
V. ENFORCEMENT
Compliance RateTo date, 92% percent of all carriers contacted are in compliance with the regulation. Additionalresponses are coming in daily and the Department continues to follow-up with carriers thatsubmitted incomplete responses or that did not respond, until all requested responses have beenreceived.
Further, California Insurance Code section 12926 provides that:
[t]he commissioner shall require from every insurer a full compliance with allprovisions of this code.
CIC section 704.5 provides, inter alia, that a carrier’s certificate of authority may be suspendedor revoked for violation of any insurance statute and CIC section 704.7 provides that thecommissioner may permit a carrier to elect to pay a money penalty, not exceeding $55,000.00 inlieu of suspension of the certificate.
