Archivo: US SlaveFree1837

Description: Map of the states and territories of the United States showing which areas of the United States did and did not allow slavery between January 1837 to March 1837. New York (1799) and New Jersey (1804) adopted laws gradually freeing enslaved people, but some people in these states remained enslaved until 1824 (NY) and 1865 (NJ). Territories and states which had not specifically banned slavery are colored red/pink.
