Massachusetts and slavery debated in state comparisons
In a polemic on state prosperity, the author contrasts Boston with Baltimore and cites census data to argue land value and population trends arise from proximity to cities, not slavery. The piece lambasts a News note, defends New Castle and Sussex land values, and questions Delaware migration claims. Sussex Court reports murder and manslaughter cases, plus a grisly juvenile crime note.
