Congress passed a new manumission law on 21 April 1848; it was ordered into effect on 28 April. It reorganized local boards and reporting, and continued a system that freed people through limited annual selections and funds. The procedure treated owners’ claims and administrative controls as central, while enslaved people remained dependent on a slow process. The 1854 abolition law later repealed it.
