Slavery in Indiana

Slavery in Indiana

MY ex\'s ancestor, Nancy Emily Wright\'s father owned a lot of land in southern Indiana.  The old story goes that he was about to import slaves but the Civil War broke out so he abandoned the project.  Could you tell me just what it took to bring slaves into Indiana (Spencer County).  Did he have to bribe people?  My deceased father knew of places in Indiana where there was slavery.  Of course this does not appear in elementary school texts.  What can you tell me.
