jan 23, 1827 - Gradual Emancipation:

Description:

Slavery is officially abolished in New York. This was a big moment, but the African Americans still didn’t get all the rights that white people have. But it was a big step to ending slavery in different states. This goes with American identity because this is about race during that time slavery was a big thing so having a state abolish slavery was a big moment in history.
