(SLAVERY AND ABOLITION.) BRESLIN, JOHN G., Speaker of the House. People of Color in the United States. Resolutions of the Legislature of Ohio Relative to the Oppressed People of Color in the United States. Single small 8vo leaf, printed on one side only. Ohio, March 23, 1849
This resolution proposed the survey and appropriation of a portion of the territory acquired from Mexico for the benefit of all free persons of color who might become settlers. Like other schemes along the same lines, this one fell apart relatively quickly, especially since there already existed colonies of repatriated blacks in Sierra Leone and Liberia, that were more attractive to those who wanted to be rid of blacks rather than have a "state" full on their borders.
