Civil Rights/Slavery
Fact card produced in 1993 by Atlas Editions about the Black pariahs of the Northwest. Fascinating insight into how blacks were treated in the Northwest and the resentment to emancipation in those States. “Illinois, Indiana and Iowa wanted nothing to do with black people, slave or free, and enacted laws to bar them from their states”. Interesting to note that “Lincoln did not think that whites could live in harmony and his plan was to resettle blacks to Central America”. Text on reverse. RC
