"You may want to look up the 1860 US Census. Their count was ZERO!"

Still ignorant, I see. Please read the New Jersey Abolition Acts that I cited earlier. Once you have figured out what "colored apprentice for life" means, please read the note under "New Jersey" at the web site, There Really Were Slaves In New Jersey In The 1860s.

Tex, I thought you might be interested in the site, too. It's a pretty good resource.

It's incredible to consider that in 1860 Mississippi was home to more slaves than free people. What a sickening thought.
