What law did Massachusetts pass to end slavery?
My recollection is that liberal biased judges deliberately twisted some words in the newly created Massachusetts constitution to declare it abolished slavery, but this was just blatant lying.
Activist courts ended slavery in Massachusetts. Nobody passed any laws to do it.
And of course, the Massachusetts slave owners simply took them out of state and sold them.
Lots of fanfare for their activism, but didn't really do much for their declared cause.
I think the Quakers styled Pennsylvania’s 50 year phase out of slavery “philanthophy at bargain rates.”
