Описание:

The Act Prohibiting Importation of Slaves was signed March 2, 1807. Ashbrook Center (2006) quotes the document saying, ¨An Act to Prohibit the Importation of Slaves into any Port or Place Within the Jurisdiction of the United States, From and After the First Day of January, in the Year of our Lord One Thousand Eight Hundred and Eight.¨. This is significant because it was the nation's first major step in the direction of the abolition of slavery.
