It is always interesting to see what was going on , when our girls finish their samplers !. I must say I was amazed to find out that when E.C. finished her delightful small house sampler on the 24 march 1824 Black citizens were granted the right to vote in Canada. This I feel was so progressive, why did I not know this. While the Slave Trade Act of 1807 outlawed the trade of enslaved people, it did not immediately end the institution of slavery itself. The Slavery Abolition Act of 1833, while freeing enslaved people, also included provisions that maintained a system of apprenticeship, effectively prolonging the period of forced labor in the British colony's. And not ended in America until 1864.
I love the way an object leads us down a road of discovery !.
