Let us examine this foolish 'persons' claim
I don't pay as much attention to what people say as I do to what they do. There were 12 slaves in all of New Mexico Territory, and that was when New Mexico Territory looked like this.
So there were only 12 slaves in all of New Mexico?
Why was that?
"older Mexican Republic legal traditions of the territory, which abolished black, but not Indian, slavery in 1834, took precedence and should be continued. Regardless of its official status, ... As in New Mexico, slavery was already extremely limited, due to earlier Mexican traditions, laws, and patterns of settlement.
Oh, Slavery had been banned previously by the Mexicans.
Did your slaver democrats want to take slaves to New Mexico?
Why yes, yes they did.
Did the Republicans try to avoid the war by allowing the democrats to establish slavery there?
Why yes, yes they did! "As one of the final attempts at compromise to avoid the Civil War, in December 1860, a U.S. House of Representatives committee proposed to admit New Mexico as a slave state immediately. Although the measure was approved by the committee on December 29, 1860, Southern representatives did not take up this offer, as many of them had already left Congress due to imminent declarations of secession by their states..
What is your next lie Slo-Joe?
Yeah, and that's why there was no slavery in Texas.
Stop being stupid...
If you can...
