no, slavery wasnt made illegal until after the civil war which was in 1865 the year 1700 was before the dec. of independence which was signed in 1776
-this person is stupid. the question is legal, not illegal. If anyone can help, please enter your help here!-
The real answer is that slavery was legal everywhere except Georgia. It wasn't until 1752 that slavery was opened to Georgia. Also, Spanish Florida was also a safe haven for escaped/freed slaves. *Fun Fact-- The Carolina's actually sold Native Americans in their own slave trade. They soon stopped because it wasn't as profitable.*
