[QUOTE="klein, post: 706414, member: 23950"] [B]Re: To You So-Called Limited Gov't Repubs Who Carte Blanche Supported Bush All For Wa[/B] ok, guess you are right. I didn't even know that. But , it wasn't Canada. It's awlful to know it took place on some of it's soil, though (under the British Empire). Quote your own link : The system of gang labor, and its consequent institutions of control and brutality, did not develop in Canada. Because they did not appear to pose a threat to their masters, slaves were permitted to learn to read and write, Christian conversion was encouraged, and their marriages were recognized by law. In 1793 Upper Canada became the first territory in the British Empire to legislate the gradual abolition of slavery. By 1800 the other provinces of British North America had effectively limited slavery through court decisions requiring the strictest proof of ownership, which was rarely available. Slavery remained legal, however, until the British Parliament emancipated slaves throughout the empire effective August 1, 1834. And at least, they were never directly imported from Africa. Still sad though, we took some of them, but they had a better life then down south, atleast. (more rights). [/QUOTE]
