Indiana (Indiana, United States) (search for this): article 3
, though one among the largest slaveholders in the State, and though wont to resent any interference In 1803 he was chairman of a committee upon a memorial from Indiana to dispense, temporarily, with the ordinance of 1787 so far as it was applicable to that State, and made a report, of which the following is an extract: "The strength and security to that extensive frontier. In the salutary operations of this sagacious and benevolent restraint, it is believed that the inhabitants of Indiana will, at no very distant day, find ample remuneration for a temporary privation of labor and emigration." These are the views of a great Statesman and (we are almost tempted to say) prophet. When this report was written, Indiana was comparatively a wilderness. In sixty-two years it has become one of the most popular States in the Union, far excelling Virginia, a part of whose territory she originally was, and by one of whose sons it was won from the Crown of Great Britain.

This arose, in a great measure, from the resentment engendered by party strife and sectional recrimination. Yet, that Virginia, as a community, was much less wedded to the institution than either the majority of Virginians or the people of the North supposed, is apparent from the alacrity with which her people submitted to the imposed necessity and the small desire they have to see it restored.
St. George Tucker (search for this): article 3
There was a time when nearly all the intelligence of Virginia was opposed to slavery. Jefferson has left his opinion upon record; Washington provided in his will for the emancipation of his slaves, and St. George Tucker (the elder) devoted to the subject sixty pages of his notes upon Blackstone, in which he decidedly condemned it. Indeed, so general was the feeling that it may be said all Virginia, during the first thirty years after the Revolution, was anti-slavery. The only stumbling block in the way of emancipation seems to have been the difficulty of disposing of the emancipated negroes. Jefferson himself thought the two races ought not to live together.
