Was Alaska free state or a slave state?

Answer 1

Alaska was not a state during the time of slavery in the United States; it was purchased from Russia in 1867 and became a U.S. territory. As a territory, it did not have the same status as states regarding slavery, and there were no significant slaveholding populations in Alaska. When Alaska became the 49th state in 1959, slavery had already been abolished in the U.S. Therefore, Alaska was never classified as a slave state.
