The usual effort to have slavery legalized was made in 1773. There were seventeen slaves in Detroit in 1810 held by virtue of the exceptions made under the British rule prior to the ratification of Jay's treaty. Advertisements of runaway slaves appeared in Detroit papers as late as 1827. Furthermore, there were thirty-two slaves in Michigan in 1830 but by 1836 all had died or had been manumitted.--See Farmer, _History of Detroit and Michigan_, I, p. 344.] [Footnote 37: _Laws of Michigan_, 1827; and Campbell, _Political History of Michigan_, p. 246.] [Footnote 38: _Proceedings of the Ohio Anti-Slavery Convention_, 1835, p. 19.] [Footnote 39: _African Repository_, XXIII, p. 70.] [Footnote 40: _Ohio State Journal_, May 3, 1837.] [Footnote 41: Evans, _A History of Scioto County, Ohio_, p. 643.] [Footnote 42: _African Repository_, V, p. 185.] [Footnote 43: Howe, _Historical Collections_, pp. 225-226.] |
