The original Florida Constitution, adopted in 1838, permitted slavery and established the legal rights of slaveholders.

The Constitution also prohibited the emancipation of slaves without the consent of their owners.
After the Missouri Compromise of 1820, slavery was legal in states that were south of the compromise line (36°30’ parallel), such as Arkansas, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas. This line permitted slavery in states below it while prohibiting it in states above it.
Slavery was legal in several states in 1860, mainly in the Southern states of the United States. These states included Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, and Texas among others.

Yes, the Florida territory was considered a slave territory because it is located south of the latitude 36°30′, which was established as the boundary for slavery in the Missouri Compromise of 1820. This line aimed to limit the expansion of slavery in the western territories; however, Florida was already designated for slavery when it became a U.S. territory in 1822. As a result, plantation agriculture and slavery became integral to Florida's economy and society during that period.
