Today in History (1862) - The U.S. government forbids all Union army officers from returning fugitive slaves, thus effectively annulling the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850 and setting the stage for the Emancipation Proclamation. On the same day in 1865, the Confederate Congress voted to enlist 300,000 black troops, granting them freedom with the consent of their owners. Lee surrendered a few weeks later. |
Greetings. As is my habit among the law student blogosphere, I've dropped in to make a few quick changes in De Novo's MoveableType setup. The site should now be running MT 3.2, and since it's much less full of random system hacks than the creaky little site I normally run, it should be pretty stable. On the plus side, a lot of the comment spam here should now disappear.
In the meantime, if something seems to be wrong, leave a comment here and I'll address it this weekend.
