Before the American Civil War, the state with the most number of slaves was Virginia. By 1860, Virginia had approximately 490,000 slaves, according to the historical census data. It was the state with the largest enslaved population in the country at that time.
After the Civil War, slavery was abolished in the United States through the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment in 1865. This means that no state had slaves legally after the Civil War as slavery was no longer permitted anywhere in the United States.
