Some colonies that initially did not allow slavery but later changed their laws to permit it as more settlers arrived include Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island. These colonies initially had more limited use of enslaved labor but gradually transitioned to allow slavery due to economic reasons and the increasing demand for labor.
Georgia is the colony that did not allow slavery at first but changed its laws to permit slavery as more settlers moved in. Initially, James Oglethorpe, the founder of Georgia, banned slavery in order to create a colony that was a haven for debtors and the "worthy poor." However, as the need for labor increased, the prohibition on slavery was lifted.
A. Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania initially did not allow slavery, but as more settlers moved in, the practice of slavery became more common in the colony.
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."
The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 led to widespread violence in the Kansas Territory between pro-slavery and anti-slavery settlers, known as "Bleeding Kansas." The act allowed the settlers to decide through popular sovereignty whether Kansas would allow slavery, intensifying the sectional conflict over slavery in the lead-up to the Civil War.
The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 allowed settlers in those territories to decide the issue of slavery through popular sovereignty, meaning the residents could vote on whether to allow slavery within their borders. This effectively repealed the Missouri Compromise of 1820 which had banned slavery in territories north of a certain latitude. The act led to violent clashes between pro-slavery and anti-slavery settlers, intensifying tensions over the issue of slavery in the United States.

False. It started when Mexico banned slavery.
Slaves from other colonies ran away to Georgia.
It changed the balance of power which had previously existed by allowing those territories popular sovereignty to decide whether to allow slavery or not for themselves.
