Prior to the American Revolution there were slaves in New Hampshire; in 1783 they issued a new state constitution that said that all people born in New Hampshire thereafter were free, including children of slaves; howeve people who were born slaves prior to 1783 were not automaticly freed by this; also it did not prohibit the importation of slaves; so there were still a small number of slaves in New Hampshire tha twer freed in 1865, when the 13th Amendment to the Constitution prohibited Slavery in all of the United States. Most people in New Hampshire opposed slavery, or were indiffernt to it.

While the 13th amendment freed the slaves, it did not make them citizens or give them any rights. The newly freed slaves had no where to go after the 13th amendment was passed -- they were simply no longer slaves. Most slaves during the civil war had been born into slavery as the importation of slaves was made illegal in 1808. So, the slaves had no reason to go back to Africa, as they had no money and many had never been there anyway. The U.S. government realized they had to do something about all these people, so they essentially gave them citizenship with the 14th amendment, and later the right to vote with the 15th.
All persons born or naturalized in the United States enjoy full right. This was done to protect the rights of freed slaves and minorities after the Civil War, bit it applies equally to all Americans. This amendment also made certain rules concerning the southern states after the Civil War.
Yes, Pennsylvania had slaves during the colonial period but gradually abolished slavery in a series of legislative actions, eventually passing the Act for the Gradual Abolition of Slavery in 1780 which freed individuals born into slavery after its enactment.
