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.
