what did early state constitution have to say about slavery

Question

please help me and tell me the answer

Answer 1

Hi JJ

Southern slave holding states preserved the right to own slaves.

Some northern states allowed for gradual emancipation of slaves.

When Vermont became a state in 1791, it banned slavery.

Massachusetts ban of slavery was through a 1780 state court ruling.

 

Try googling "gradual emancipation states", and editing your other search words.

I hope this helps.
