Pennsylvania had slaves in the past due to the institution of slavery being common throughout the American colonies and states during the colonial and early post-colonial periods. Slavery was legally practiced in Pennsylvania until the gradual abolition of slavery was enacted in the state starting in 1780, culminating in the abolition of slavery in Pennsylvania in 1847.
