The New-York Manumission Society was an American organization founded in 1785 by U.S. Founding Father John Jay, among others, to promote the gradual abolition of slavery and manumission of slaves of African descent within the state of New York. The organization was made up entirely of white men, most of whom were wealthy and held influential positions in society. Throughout its history, which ended in 1849 after the abolition of slavery in New York, the society battled against the slave trade, and for the eventual emancipation of all the slaves in the state. It founded the African Free School for the poor and orphaned children of slaves and free people of color.

  • La New York Manumission Society è stata un'organizzazione fondata nel 1785 da John Jay per promuovere la graduale abolizione della schiavitù nel territorio dello stato di New York e l'emancipazione in tutti gli altri stati degli Stati Uniti. L'organizzazione, della quale facevano parte anche Alexander Hamilton e Hercules Mulligan, era composta interamente da uomini bianchi (principalmente ricchi e aderenti al movimento del Quaccherismo) che lottavano contro la tratta degli schiavi mediante azioni di lobbying e boicottaggio. L'associazione terminò nel 1849, dopo l'abolizione della schiavitù nello stato di New York e, nei suoi anni di attività, fondò la "African Free School" nel 1787, una scuola-orfanotrofio per i figli degli schiavi e dei liberti neri dello stato.
