You could probably go with Battista or Normande for nr 1.

You’re welcome. I think ITC Founder’s Caslon could work for nr 3.

‘Slavery’ in Nº2: similar to Bodoni Bold.
‘Negroes’ in Nº3: If you want to keep the worn look: The Fell Types might do the job quite well.
‘all colored people’ in Nº4: similar to Egyptienne T.

I agree with you on nr 2, Florian. But the R bugs me. It’s more like the one in ITC Century. Is there a digital version of a Bodoni with that kind of slanted leg on the R?
