All slaves who were twenty-one and unmarried had the opportunity of "going to Liberia or some other place of freedom out of the bounds of these United States."  Tucker charges that Eleanor Bullock, Thomas's widow, refuses to allow him to emigrate, keeps him in servitude, and is keeping the proceeds from his hire.  Tucker is suing Bullock for freedom, back wages, and seeks a restraining order to prevent his removal from the state.</abstract><subjects><subject>owner(s)/citizens manumit/free slave</subject><subject>Sues for freedom (enslaved)</subject><subject>Education and literacy (enslaved)</subject><subject>Colonization to resettle</subject><subject>Hiring value (enslaved)</subject><subject>Term slavery</subject></subjects></petition>
