My ancestors were on the wrong side, but I did have an ancestor lose his land and home because he executed a slave, but it turned out he messed the paperwork up and really killed a free man. The land was ultimately awarded to the free man’s family
Thing is is that the guy didn’t even go to prison. He ended up moving a few states away and died of consumption. He died alone, poor, and obscure. First example I’ve seen of someone getting cancelled lol

That’s actually a really fascinating bit of family history!
