Slavery was going? When? If that’s true, why did Alexander Stephens say slavery was the “cornerstone of the confederacy”?
August 1834 would be a good date toward the abolition of slavery -- note also that they didn't have a bloody civil war.

I don't know. I don't know who Stephens is, or why his opinion should matter.
