(in the US) Slavery was never found to be "legal" nationwide by any court of law. It simply 'existed' as a fact of life since the founding of the country. It began to become an issue during the 1800's when the difficulties between the so-called "free" and so-called "slave" states came to a head in Congress and was one of the causes of the US Civil War.
