Vermont and Pennsylvania effectively outlawed slavery during the Revolution. Massachusetts did in 1783. Pretty much every state north of Maryland did by 1804 which is well within the lifetime of the Founders. I mean globally, the UK had outlawed slavery (though not in its colonies) before the Revolution. --- May you find your book in this place. <cite>xp1337 posted [p:964687045] in Elon Musk ...
