' Sec. 9. All persons of color who were slaves for life previous to their emigration to Texas, and who are now held in bondage, shall remain in the like state of servitude; provided, the said slave shall be the bona fide property of the person so holding said slave as aforesaid. Congress shall pass no laws to prohibit emigrants from bringing their slaves into the republic with them, and holding them by the same tenure by which such slaves were held in the United States; nor shall congress have power to emancipate slaves; nor shall any slave holder be allowed to emancipate his or her slave or slaves without the consent of congress, unless he or she shall send his or her slave or slaves without the limits of the republic. No free person of African descent, either in whole or in part, shall be permitted to reside permanently in the republic, without the consent of congress; and the importation or admission of Africans or negroes into this republic, excepting from the United States of America, is forever prohibited, and declared to be piracy.

' Contra la esclavitud
Durante el Virreinato, en toda América
había esclavos. Hidalgo ordenó en
Valladolid ponerlos en libertad. Después, en
diciembre de 1810, promulgó en
Guadalajara un bando aboliendo la
esclavitud. En los Estados Unidos ésta fue
suprimida hasta 1863. Aquí están los dos
primeros puntos del documento de Hidalgo
en Guadalajara:
1° Que todos los dueños de esclavos
deberán darles la libertad, dentro del
término de diez días, su pena de muerte.
2° Que cese para lo sucesivo la
contribución de tributos, respecto de las
castas que los pagaban, y toda exacción
(exigencia de impuestos) que a los indios
se les haga. '

My bolding .... many slaves escaped to the south during the four decades when their masters had them captive, before and after the loss of Tejas .... after slavery was technically abolished in the US, as well ... a friend of mine, from near Poza Rica in Veracruz, is muy moreno we say, 'very moorish', he clearly has african blood among the others, and is able to verify his roots back to an ancestor who escaped the slavers 'almost certainly before 1850' ... slavery is a thing completely, absolutely, un-mexicana .... it was then, and it was long before this time, it was a major issue against the virreyes as well |
