LMAO!!!! There was an open invitation to the freed slaves to come to Massachusetts and Connecticut so it would have been redundant to make it formal? Blacks sure didn’t take them up on the “offer” did they?

Exactly how many blacks are there in Vermont even to this day?

I think a state that selected Charles Sumner to the Senate, with his well known strong views on slavery and equality, could not help but be thought of as more accommodating to free blacks than any of the slave states.

I'd say a pretty good reason for the low number is the fact that Vermont had no slave population to start with.
