How did the role of slavery in Missouri change from 1840 to 1870?
Starting in the mid-1840s, decisions of the Supreme Court of Missouri became increasingly adverse to slaves bringing freedom suits. As we now know from the papers of the judges then serving, Judges William Barclay Napton and James Harvey Birch - who had been appointed to the court for life under the original constitutional scheme - were prepared to overrule the earlier cases and to hold that Missouri need not give comity to the law of the free territories. Napton and Birch seemed to be intending to end all freedom suits, to declare that Congress had no power to legislate on the subject of slavery in the territories, and to hold that the Missouri Compromise was unconstitutional.
What was slavery like in 1870s?

When did the American Anti Slavery society form?
There is just one year to go before the world marks 200 years since Britain abolished the slave trade. To start the countdown to 25 March 2007, Anti-Slavery International is launching four e-cards to help the public harness the abolitionist spirit to end slavery today. This is what I found. It was a movement for Anti-Slavery.
