John Graves Simcoe Lieutenant-Governor of Upper Canada
Description
Lieutenant-Governor John Graves Simcoe played a significant role in the passing of a law in Upper Canada in 1793 that was intended to gradually eliminate slavery. While existing slaves would remain slaves, the law disallowed any new slaves from being brought into the colony, and any children born to slaves would become free at age 25.
