Which states in the US were slave states?
Slavery began in all the colonies almost as soon as people began to settle the country. At first, it was in every colony and was used to meet a labor shortage. The first 20 Africans were sold to settlers in Virginia as early as 1619. White indentured servants were more numerous in the English mainland colonies, but after 1680 when the flow of indentured servants began to slow, more and more slaves begin to be brought into the colonies. By the middle of the eighteenth century slavery existed in all 13 colonies and formed the heart of the agricultural labor system in the southern colonies. In the years following the American Revolution slavery became stronger in the south and with the invention of the cotton gin, slavery really grew in the southern states. By the time of the civil war there were about 4 million slaves in these states. Between 1774 and 1804 all the northern states supposedly abolished slavery. In some northern states emancipation was immediate, but more often it was gradual, and slavery in the North actually existed right up to, and into the US Civil War. They were legally freed after the passage of the Emancipation act.
