Well, at least before Dred Scott, which helped fuel the war, and was ignored. Each state passed its own laws over time nixing the peculiar institution. Where have you been?

Where have you been?

Sittin' right here.

You still did not mention the particular laws that made slavery illegal in the north. Slavery was NOT illegal in the north until Consititution amendement in 1867. I would like to see evidence otherwise. Not being sarcastic, but would be interested in what you know that I don't.
