Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Of particular interest in this collection of Connecticut's laws in 1784 is "<strong>An Act Concerning indian, Molatto and Negro Servants</strong> <strong>and Slaves</strong>" (pgs. 233-235). In 1784, "gradual emancipation" was passed in Connecticut (and Rhode Island). This law was intended to slowly "phase out" slavery, and would become the primary mechanism of abolition throughout New England. In Connecticut, it worked like this: All enslaved persons born on or after March 1, 1784, remained bonded while children, but were released upon reaching a certain age (first 25, later reduced to 21). All enslaved persons born before 1784 remained enslaved for life. This allowed slavery to slowly disappear.<br /><a title="http://www.yaleslavery.org/Resources/timeline.html#t2" href="http://www.yaleslavery.org/Resources/timeline.html#t2">http://www.yaleslavery.org/Resources/timeline.html#t2</a><br /><br /><a title="http://connecticuthistory.org/gradual-emancipation-reflected-the-struggle-of-some-to-envision-black-freedom/" href="http://connecticuthistory.org/gradual-emancipation-reflected-the-struggle-of-some-to-envision-black-freedom/">http://connecticuthistory.org/gradual-emancipation-reflected-the-struggle-of-some-to-envision-black-freedom/</a>
