Thank you, Troy! My work has changed quite a bit since this... It's hard to imagine that this was only a year ago. I can't wait to add another video on my research!
Kent/ Sussex counts were the confederate & didn’t join back the union until 1901 which is when they stopped slavery. Our slave owners are still alive & well- the Duponts. We didn’t rejoin the union until 1901…, that was yesterday. This current movement is the old slave owner Democrats.
Thank you for this, Jessica! I've been hoping to do a little work on the Duponts, but it's been hard for me to organize any research trips. This pandemic is bad for academics. We love our archives. But yeah, 1901. Shocking, isn't it?
?? Delaware did not seceede from the Union, so did not rejoin in 1901 In 1901, Delaware finally ratified the 13th Constitutional Amendment, prohibiting slavery, (which already was federal law, so a moot point)
@@katiekent8195 Delaware was split during the war. The southern part Kent & Sussex county were confederate. We still have a special day after elections due to this called ‘separation day’ to try to come together. Delaware is 1 of the last 3 states to rejoin, so the law did apply to them until they rejoined the union.
Great analysis of state law

Does anyone have more information about the migration to Haiti around 1824?
