Cover art for March 8, 1775: the front page of the March 8, 1775 Pennsylvania Journal.

It was on this day that an essay appeared in the Pennsylvania Journal advocating for the abolition of slavery. The content wasn’t a huge surprise for Pennsylvania, but the interesting thing is: the essay is known for being written under a pen name, and for a long time, people were pretty sure they knew who that person was.

They’re still not 100% positive.
