line. Abolition of Slavery & Re: Northern "Emancipation of Slaves"
: I am trying to find out "when" and exactly "how" each of the Northern Colonies/States abolished slavery. I am doing this for a college thesis, and while I thought it would be easy, I have found it to be quite hard.
: A history book might say something like, by a certain date all northern states had ped laws for gradual emanicipation of the slaves. But I am looking for that "exact" date, and what "gradual" meant in each state. As part of my research, I need to know how long slavery lasted in each state AFTER they ped their gradual abolition laws. I can't find anyone who has precisely cateloged this. Any help is appreciated.
