| 1. | The Assembly of the Year XIII, called to establish the new independent state of Argentina, passed the law of freedom of wombs, whereby children born to slaves thenceforth were automatically free citizens, but did not free those who were already slaves. L’Assemblée de l'an XIII, premier corps constituant d’Argentine, décréta la liberté des ventres, par laquelle la liberté était accordée aux enfants nés d’esclaves, mais non aux esclaves existants. |
