Let us not forget this little gem from the Indiana State Constitution:

Article XIII
Indiana Constitution of 1851
Negroes and Mulattoes

Section 1. No negro or mulatto shall come into or settle in the State, after the adoption of this Constitution.
Section 2. All contracts made with any Negro or Mulatto coming into the state, contrary to the provisions of the foregoing section, shall be void, and any person who shall employ such Negro or Mulatto, or otherwise encourage him to remain in the State, shall be fined in any sum not less than ten dollars, nor more than five hundred dollars.
Section3. All fines which may be collected for a violation of the provisions of this article, or of any law that may be passed for the purpose of carrying the same into execution, shall be set apart and appropriated for the colonization of such Negroes or Mulattoes, and their descendants, as may be in the State at the adoption of this Constitution, and may be willing to emigrate.
Section 4. The General assembly shall pass laws to carry out the provisions of this article.

Let us not forget this little gem...

Or this treasure from Article IV, Sections 19 through 21 of the Virginia Constitution

19. Slaves hereafter emancipated shall forfeit their freedom by remaining in the Commonwealth more than twelve months after they become actually free, and it shall be the duty of the General Assembly to prescribe proper regulations for reducing such negroes to slavery.

20. The General Assembly may profit the future emancipation of slaves, impose such restrictions and conditions as they shall deem proper on the power of slave owners to emancipate their slaves; and may pass laws for the relief of the Commonwealth from the free negro population, by removal or otherwise.

21. The General Assembly shall not emancipate any slave, or the descendant of any slave, either before or after the birth of such descendant.
