Virtual Program: From 1619 to Juneteenth: Slavery and the Law Before the Civil War

Presented by Judy Russell, The Legal Genealogist®
No issue more bitterly impacted early America than slavery. Defended by some, decried by others, slavery left its mark on the laws of the nation and all the states, enslaved or free. The records created by those laws provide critical clues for genealogists, whether descended from enslaved or enslavers. A recording of this virtual program will be posted to YouTube within three business days and available for 30 days. Part of America 250 and the Researching Your Early American Ancestors Family History Month Virtual Series.
Adults. Registration required.
