Senate Approves Slavery Apology Save Email Print

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) _ The Florida Senate has formally apologized for its long support of slavery in a resolution calling for reconciliation.
Senators quickly approved the resolution after hearing some of the history detailing the savage treatment endured by slaves in the 19th century and the reluctance of politicians in the last century to recognize the intolerance and mistreatment of blacks.
The House will take up the measure later today.
Florida enacted its first slave laws in the 1820s as a territory, and early political leaders in the state were some of the most vigorous defenders of slavery.
In the 1850s, at a time when Florida’s population was around 111,000, 44 percent of the population were slaves. After the Civil War, Florida’s Constitution of 1868 guaranteed blacks the right to vote and abolished slavery in the state, but inequities remained.
