Slavery is now illegal in the US. Therefore there should be no slaves in the US today.
The US President in 1840 was Martin van Buren.
The six US States that aided escaped slaves were Massachusetts, Vermont, Ohio, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island. Each of these states enacted legislation in the 1840's that made it a crime for State officials to aid and help arrest or detain fugitive slaves. The US Fugitive Slave Law nullified these acts, however, many officials ignored the Federal law.
