Michigan was never a slave state primarily due to its admission into the Union as a free state in 1837, following the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, which prohibited slavery in the Northwest Territory. The state's geography and climate also made plantation agriculture less viable compared to southern states. Furthermore, a strong abolitionist movement emerged in Michigan, contributing to its commitment to freedom and the protection of escaped enslaved individuals seeking refuge via the Underground Railroad.
