- 1641 Massachusetts becomes the first colony to legalize slavery.
This is done through the passage of the Body of Liberties. Under section 91 it states:
There shall never be any bond slavery, villeinage, or captivity amongst us unless it be lawful captives taken in just wars, and such strangers as willingly sell themselves or are sold to us.And these shall have all the liberties and Christ
