Description
Laws re: slaves and free blacks Clement Dorsey. The general public statutory law and public local law of the state of Maryland: from the year 1692 to 1839..., 1840. Archives of Maryland Online, vol. 141. Index section re: Negroes and Slaves, p. 2732. Note: Others sections of the code may contain references to slavery (i.e. the Kidnapping title). Also, the index entry for Laws of 1796, Chapter 67, aomol vol. 105, p. 249 contains the following footnote: "The policy of the state as to the introduction of slaves has so vacillated that it is almost impracticable in an index, to present a condensed view of the various enactments in reference thereto. A note to the first section of this act contains a review of all the laws on this subject, except that of 1839."
