DAVIDSON, John Nelson. NEGRO SLAVERY IN WISCONSIN AND THE UNDERGROUND
RAILROAD. Milwaukee, WI: Parkman Club Publications, 14 September 1897.
First Edition. Stapled printed green wraps (6-5/8" x 9-1/2"); 211-244
pages plus blank and covers. The Ordinance of 1787 forbade the practice
of slavery or involuntary servitude in any form in the Northwest
Territory, making it a crime to own and possess humans as slaves.
Despite federal law making it a crime to own and possess humans as
slaves, slavery existed in Wisconsin. This paper describes a number of
case histories, mostly of those bringing slaves to Wisconsin from other
states, and the various reactions of Wisconsin residents. Mostly
unopened. Rear wrap neatly detached. Very Good and quite uncommon.
