Excerpt from History of Indiana
The Indiana legislature met again on Nov. 3, 1806, and the pro-slavery people laid aside their differences on the question Of dividing the territory long enough to agree on a petition for the suspension Of the slavery clause, which was duly sent to congress. But there was not the same agreement outside. The anti-harri son people in the Illinois country sent in a peti tion for division and slavery, and the Harrison people sent in one for slavery but against division. The committee Of congress to which they were all referred reported favorably to the suspension of the slavery clause and against division, but no action was taken on the report.
