There were various laws restricting the manumission of slaves. In 1857, there was a "blanket ban" and after 1805, manumission required an act of the state legislature (Klebaner 1955). The 1842 law discussed in the paper the article references may refer to a law from that year outlawing manumission in wills (Mills 2001). Mississippi State Supreme Court Cases Ross v Vertner (1840) accepted manumission by last will and testimate but required the person to emigrate, while Mitchell v Wells (1859) notes the 1842 law and denies the right of manumission (Mills 2001). Sampson & Levin 2012, Coddington 2013, Levin 2014, and Serwer 2016 state that Silas was not freed while serving Andrew and Benjamin during the war, and Sampson & Levin 2012, Levin 2014, and Serwer 2016 state that manumission of Chandler would have been illegal.
