Untitled

'finally it was laid down in the case of James Somersett that a slave becomes free the moment he sets foot on English territory'

Not sure that's right. The judgement stated that no man could be forcibly transported from Britain into slavery, as Somersett's owner was trying to do. Slavery itself endured.

Also 'English territory' at this time would include such places as the Carolinas, Barbados and Jamaica, where blacks were clearly not free.
