Act to punish free negroes enters Illinois law
A disputed 1853 Illinois legislature act aimed at preventing free negroes from settling in the state is criticized as harsh and unconstitutional. The piece notes severe penalties for coming into the state and remaining ten days, including fines and sale of the person, raises conflict with Fugitive Slave Law, and questions legislative power. It references debates, votes, and a proposal to amend the title to perpetual slavery. Also reports related notices, bridge company charter, and other regional items.
