EDITORS NOTE: During the
next few weeks we will follow the
story of our greatest American con
flict, the War Between the States,
from its beginning with the ad
vent of slavery In 1619, through
the Compromise of 1620, to Fort
Sumpter, and to the final fall of
the Confederacy.
By the time of the Federal Con
stitution, slavery existed in all of the
states except Massachusetts. in
which it had very recently ceased
to exist. Slavery was more prevalent
in the South than in the North,
mainly because of the climate, soil,
and industry.
Although slavery existed chiefly
in the South, it is interesting to note
that Virginia, when still a colony,
made a very definite effort to pre
vent the importing of Africans but
was overruled by the King. (Georgia
prohibited the introduction of slaves
until 1752, when the colony became
a royal colony and slavery was in
troduced ).
Virginia was the first state to
prohibit slavery, and Georgia was
the first state to include in her con
stitution a clause prohibiting slavery.
Furthermore, it should be remem
bered that an extensive contraband
slave trade was carried on by New
England slavers with the Southern
ports, because the Southern states
were unable to enforce their laws
torbidding slavery.
Two petitions for the abolition of
slavery were presented at the first
Congress, hut both bills were de
feated, because Congress had "no
authority to interfere in the eman
cipation of slaves, or in the treat
ment of them within the states.”
By 1790, slavery was firmly es
tablished in the United States.
