I think I read that Delaware had about 200 slaves.

“I think I read that Delaware had about 200 slaves.”

I had read that it was more, and from what I recall it was less than 1,000. In any event, it was nominal.

In Delaware grade school history they taught us that Delaware was split during the war with Northern Del. siding with the union and Southern Del. with the Confederacy. Never was made clear how Reconstruction handled the split but I got the impression that few outside of Delaware cared one bit about what happened there.
