Historica Canada on Instagram: "Today is Emancipation Day, commemorating the Slavery Abolition Act of 1833. It emancipated those under the age of six; those older than this became "apprenticed" for a period before their servitude could finally come to an end. This came forty years after the Act to Limit Slavery in Upper Canada, which limited the import of enslaved people, but failed to liberate people like Chloe Cooley."
