Download or read book The Underground Railroad in Floyd County Indiana written by Pamela R. Peters and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2017-07-06 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Floyd County, Indiana, and its county seat, New Albany, are located directly across the Ohio River from Louisville, Kentucky. Louisville was a major slave-trade center, and Indiana was a free state. Many slaves fled to Floyd County via the Underground Railroad, but their fight for freedom did not end once they reached Indiana. Sufficient information on slaves coming to and through this important area may be found in court records, newspaper stories, oral history accounts, and other materials that a full and fascinating history is possible, one detailing the struggles that runaway slaves faced in Floyd County, such as local, state, and federal laws working together to keep them from advancing socially, politically, and economically. This work also discusses the attitudes, people, and places that help in explaining the successes and heartaches of escaping slaves in Floyd County. Included are a number of freedom and manumission papers, which provided court certification of the freedom of former slaves.

So close was the sentiment pro and con, that James Beggs, who was president of the council, gave the casting vote which made the soil of Indiana free from slavery., At this date there were 237 slaves in the area of the present state proper. These continued until death or freedom in other ways, but there \was no further introduction of human bondage into Indiana, and the State constitution adopted in 1816, forever precluded its extension.
