During the years 1799 to 1827, New York went through a period of gradual emancipation. A Gradual Emancipation Law was passed in 1799 which freed slave children born after July 4, 1799. However, they were indentured until 25 years old for women and 28 years old for men. A law passed 1817 which freed slaves born before 1799, yet delayed their emancipation for ten years. All remaining slaves were freed in New York State on July 4, 1827.

A debate continues over the location of the creation of the Republican Party. Some sources claim that the party was formed in Ripon, Wisconsin, on February 28, 1854. Others claim the first meeting of the Republican Party took place in Jackson, Michigan, on July 6, 1854, where the Republican Party was officially organized. Over 1,000 people were present and candidates were selected for the party, thus making it the first Republican convention.
English (Lancashire): variant of Sawyer from Middle English sager, sagher ‘sawyer’. Pronounced to rhyme with vaguer, sager is a dialect variant that was still current in late 19th century Lancashire and Yorkshire, as were saag, saig, and sague for ‘saw’ (noun and verb). The Yorkshire name may be partly indigenous to the county but it is mainly associated with a family that moved in the 16th century from Burnley (Lancashire) to Rimington and then Bradford (Yorkshire).
German and Jewish (Ashkenazic) (also Säger): occupational name for a sawyer, from an agent derivative of Middle High German segen, sagen, German sägen ‘to saw’. Compare Saeger .
German: nickname for an announcer or speaker in a legal matter, or for a chatterer or a braggart, from Middle High German sagen ‘to speak, tell, chatter’.
