>>>The corrupt democrat machine, Tammany Hall, seized power in NY in 1855 and ruled for the next 70 years. Slavery could not exist without Tammany Hall's approval.
I don't think Tammany Hall had much to do with this. Slavery was abolished in New York in 1827
He cited an 1877 passage from the diary of Harris Underhill, reporting on a visit to the family homestead near Oyster Bay: "On this farm are buried sixty slaves which once belonged to the Underhills."
From the article.
And General Grant's wife's slaves were not released until after the Civil War.
