Map Description
Historical Map of Slavery and Emancipation in the United States, 1777-1865.

Inset: The Region South of the Great Lakes.


Illustrating:

- Area of the Original Thirteen States

- Slave Free before 1850


- Areas forming part of the Union before 1783, but not admitted as States until later

- Slave States (except Arkansas) admitted, 1792-1845

- Slave State by annexation, 1845


- Free territory by the Ordinance of 1787 (held by the courts not to free pre-existent slaves) supplemented by territorial
  Acts of Congress and by State constitutions

- Free territory by Act of Congress annexing Texas


- Free territory by the
Missouri Compromise, 1820

- Free State admitted from the area subject to the Missouri Compromise

- Slave State admitted from the area subject to the Missouri Compromise

- Free by the Missouri Compromise; slave by addition to Missouri in 1836

- Open to slavery by the Missouri Compromise

- Free by the Missouri Compromise; but opened to slavery by the Compromise of 1850

- Territory acquired from Mexico in 1845; free by Mexican law, but opened to slavery by the Compromise of 1850


- Free State admitted from the territory acquired from Mexico

- Free territory by act of organization, 1848


The areas opened to slavery under the principle of the
Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 are indicated by the red lettering.
The territorial organization shown in the map is that of 1854.

Further illustrating the dates of immediate abolition, or the beginnings of gradual emancipation, by State action before 1861;
and the dates of immediate abolition by State or national action between 1861 and 1865.

No reference is made to the Dred Scott dicta of 1857, or to the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863; because, legally,
the one did not authorize the introduction of slavery into the Territories any more than the other effected the abolition of
slavery in the Southern States.

- Land and Sea routes of the slave trade

- "Underground" routes of fugitive slaves (land and water)


The area east of the present State of Oregon formed part of Washington Territory in 1862. The names printed in thin capitals
are those of States admitted subsequent to 1854, and of the two Territories still remaining.
