Free-State! :D
An American state where slavery was not allowed by law was called a "free state." These states did not permit the practice of slavery within their boundaries, in contrast to states where slavery was legal.
A free state allowed slavery, while a slave state permitted slavery. This distinction was crucial during the time leading up to the American Civil War, as it highlighted the division between states that supported slavery and those that opposed it.
A state where slavery was not allowed in the United States was known as a free state. These states did not permit the practice of slavery within their borders and often played a role in the Underground Railroad, supporting escaped slaves seeking freedom in the North.
It is a free STATE that is closed by slavery. You know..... like when there is a free state, there is NO slavery. Therefore, it is like slavery is closed, that is way it is called closed to slavery.
Slavery was allowed in Pennsylvania during the colonial period, but the state gradually began to restrict and eventually abolish slavery. In 1780, Pennsylvania passed the Gradual Abolition Act, which provided for the gradual emancipation of enslaved individuals, making Pennsylvania the first state in the U.S. to abolish slavery.
The Kansas-Nebraska Act allowed settlers in those territories to decide whether or not to permit slavery through popular sovereignty, overturning the Missouri Compromise's restriction on slavery in certain territories. This led to violent conflicts between pro-slavery and anti-slavery settlers in Kansas, known as "Bleeding Kansas."
Of course it did!
