Important pieces of legislation in this regard were the "Northwest Ordinance" of 1789 and the "Missouri Compromise" of 1820.
The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 prohibited slavery in the Northwest Territory, which included areas that eventually became states like Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin. This law helped prevent the spread of slavery to these new territories and played a role in shaping the future boundaries of free and slave states in the United States.

the west need slavery for their cotton gin They had very little of it doe
Most citizens of the American West were relatively ambivalent about the issue, but since much of the West was too far North to have massive cotton plantations, the West did not have many slaves.
