This is the sort of comment antis make, and they seem to expect ME to Gogle it for them.
Slavery was abolished in Vermont by a court decision in 1775. I was surprised that it came up, considering the number of blacks in Vermont. There were a few hundred blacks there as late as 1970.
Maine was part of Massachusetts for a oong time after the Revolution, though the two were not continguous. It simply adopted its antimiscegenation law from that of the Bay State.
If you KNOW Vermont was the only exception to this rule, let me know. What you are not aware of is of no interest to me.
