Hey You!
The correct answer to your question is: Stated that freed slaves could join the U.S Military.
(This is because an estimated 180,000 freed slaves joined the military, and about 18,000 joined the navy).
And that's your answer! ^
Although the principles of separation of church and state along with freedom of the press were advocated by many different Enlightenment philosophers, perhaps the most famous was John Locke.
Slaves first arrived in Mississippi in French ships that came from West Africa where they had bought the slaves, and then brought them to Mississippi to sell/trade. Hope it helps!
