An Act to Prevent the further Introduction of Slaves and to limit the Term of Contracts for Servitude within this Province, Legislative Assembly of Upper Canada, 1793

Because early Canada's role in the trans-Atlantic slave trade was so minor, the history of slavery in Canada is often overshadowed by the more tumultuous slavery practiced elsewhere in the Americas - most famously in the American South, and infamously in the colonial Caribbean. Afua Cooper states that slavery is, "Canada's best kept secret, locked within the National closet."
