Congress admits Ohio as a state,
incorporates the District of Columbia,
creates the Library of Congress,
and draws a firm line on slavery-

“Acts Passed at the First (and Second) Session of the 7th Congress of the

- An act creating the District of Columbia.
- An Act to prevent the importation “any negro, mulatto, or other
  person of color” into “certain states, where, by the laws thereof,
  their admission is prohibited.”
