Missouri Convention is hammering out a resolution to end slavery and compensate slaveowners

In the Missouri State Convention meeting in Jefferson City, Missouri, the hammering out of a final resolution on the future of slavery in the state continued.  Amendments that reduced the ending date for slavery from July 4, 1876 to July 4, 1868 were carried by a final vote of 51 to 32.  The measure, which provided compensation for slaveholders, was radically changed the following year when Radical Republicans took control of the state.  (By John Osborne)
