because it made a major problem and started the civil war
It was the South that accepted slavery as their culture, but importing slaves came through different areas of the States. New Jersey was against slavery! There were indeed slaves in NJ.
Slavery was an accepted practice in early Colonial history.
The Northwest Ordinance prohibited slavery northwest of the Ohio River.
While all colonies had some sort of agriculture, the plantations colonies were found in the south. The northern states, of which New Jersey is one, very quickly found their economic base in industry - factories.
Your question was an interesting one and I had to go look this up because I never remember reading anything specific on New Jersey and slavery. What I found was that in New Jersey the soil and climate didn't encourage a agriculture base like the south. Tobacco couldn't be grown and neither could cotton. Slavery was tried in New Jersey but because the agricultural base was small farms the profit for slavery didn't exist. In other words, the people couldn't grow enough to pay for the need of a slave. I also found that between 1774 and 1804 all the northern states abolished slavery. New Jersey didn't do it all at once and the slaves that were born after the passage of their emancipation act were freed after a certain age (usually in their 20's).
Slavery was legal in colonial New Jersey. It actually had obtained legal sanctions through various legislations. Slavery started being abolished in the early 1800s in New Jersey.
